The Devil Wears Prada 2 promo officially kicks off, with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep serving fashion

When I saw this photo while scrolling on my phone, I couldn’t help screaming internally. After such a long wait, the iconic pair that made us dream about the fashion world is finally standing together again. Yes, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” really is coming.

First Stop, Mexico City: Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep Reunite

On March 31, 2026, the team behind “The Devil Wears Prada 2” chose Mexico City for its first global press event. Seeing Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep appear together at the press conference really felt like stepping back in time. Back then, the exchanges between rookie Andy Sachs and the untouchable Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine were classic scenes we never tire of watching. This time, seeing them stand side by side with smiles on their faces instantly sent everyone’s anticipation soaring.

Against a cobalt-blue backdrop with a distinctly Mexican feel, the pair used bold contrasting colors to create a modern, artful daytime look that was eye-catching without feeling overdone. Anne wore a black dress with long fringe, and the sculptural gold eye at her waist, in a Surrealist style, brought a strong artistic touch to the understated base. Beside her, Meryl responded with a commanding bright red pantsuit, while the matching bow at her neck softened the suit’s structured silhouette. The interplay of red, black, and gold, along with the casual sunglasses, gave off an impossible-to-ignore queenly presence.

As night fell, the two instantly became the center of attention at the party. Contrasting textures and finishes brought out two very different yet complementary takes on luxurious eveningwear. Anne changed into a bold, eye-catching magenta sequin minidress, its metallic shine catching the light, paired with sleek over-the-knee boots. It was the perfect look for a fashion-world style star. Meryl, meanwhile, showed a more understated kind of luxury in a navy satin coat dress accented with metal buttons and a wide belt, with the black-and-gold embroidered bag in her hand adding a flawless finishing detail. The contrast between lively and restrained textures perfectly captured the many sides of high fashion.
