Meryl Streep made a surprise appearance at the Dolce & Gabbana show during Milan Fashion Week, delighting fans who were thrilled to see her in character as Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada. Accompanied by co-star Stanley Tucci, who also stayed in character as Nigel, the duo is currently filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Sporting Miranda’s iconic pixie cut hairstyle, Meryl donned a chic tan coat accented with a leopard print belt and accessorized with yellow-framed sunglasses. Despite the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, the 76-year-old actress calmly made her way to her seat at the event.
The original movie, released in 2006, starred Anne Hathaway as Andi, an assistant at the fictional fashion magazine Runway, working under the demanding editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl. The upcoming sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, set to premiere in 2026, is based on the novel “Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns” by Lauren Weisberger.
In the sequel, Andi, now the editor of a bridal magazine, reunites with Miranda after ten years, while planning her own wedding. The film will see the return of Meryl, Stanley, Anne, and Emily Blunt, who portrayed Emily Charlton, Miranda’s other assistant, rumored to assist Miranda with her struggling magazine.
Speculations suggest that Emily’s character will aid Miranda in navigating challenges in the digital age, possibly due to her current executive role in a luxury fashion company. Emily Charlton is believed to be inspired by former Vogue writer Victoria ‘Plum’ Sykes, despite the journalist’s denial.
Fans have drawn parallels between Miranda Priestly and Anna Wintour, former editor-in-chief of Vogue. Anna recently announced her departure from the magazine, succeeded by Chloe Malle. The original Devil Wears Prada film was a massive success, garnering two Oscar nominations and a Golden Globe win for Meryl Streep.
As the sequel marks the 20th anniversary of the film, anticipation is high for its release. Stay updated on the latest showbiz news and gossip by following Mirror Celebs on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Threads.
