If there’s one thing this press tour has proven, it’s that fashion is officially fun again. The cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 hasn’t just delivered polished celebrity dressing — they’ve turned every airport arrival, premiere, and press stop into a full fashion narrative. Between archival glamour, exaggerated silhouettes, sharp tailoring, and playful callbacks to the original 2006 film, the tour feels refreshingly theatrical in a celebrity style era that often leans overly safe.
And fittingly for a Devil Wears Prada revival, the fashion has been unapologetically maximalist.
Anne Hathaway in Seoul: Andy Sachs Goes Full Fashion Editor
Anne Hathaway arguably set the tone for the entire press tour during the Seoul premiere, arriving in a fiery red leather look from Balenciaga’s Fall 2026 collection.
Styled by Erin Walsh, the oversized leather jacket and matching pencil skirt immediately felt like a modern evolution of Andy Sachs — if Andy had fully transformed into the intimidating editor she once feared becoming. The exaggerated proportions, slicked-back ponytail, and dramatic thigh-high slit created an energy that was powerful rather than pretty.
What made the look work so well was its confidence. Leather can easily overwhelm a red carpet moment, but Hathaway balanced the severity with subtle glamour through her Bvlgari Serpenti necklace and diamond-and-onyx bracelet. The newly added bangs also gave the styling a distinctly “fashion insider off duty” vibe.
More importantly, the Seoul look captured exactly what this press tour has been missing from celebrity fashion lately: risk.

Anne Hathaway’s Pink Minidress: A Wink to the Original Film
Earlier in the tour, Hathaway embraced a completely different mood in Mexico City with a sparkling pink minidress by Stella McCartney.
The flirty silhouette paired with slouchy thigh-high boots instantly triggered memories of the iconic Chanel boots from the original Devil Wears Prada. Rather than directly recreating a movie look, Hathaway cleverly referenced the film through styling cues, making the outfit feel nostalgic without slipping into costume territory.
The playful femininity of the look also highlighted Hathaway’s versatility throughout the tour. One day she’s giving intimidating luxury executive in leather Balenciaga; the next she’s channeling playful early-2000s glamour through sequins and micro-hemlines.
That balance between fashion seriousness and self-awareness has made her press tour wardrobe especially successful.

Emily Blunt: The Night’s True Fashion Villain
Then came Emily Blunt — and suddenly the entire red carpet shifted.
At the New York premiere, Blunt completely broke away from the predictable sea of crimson gowns by arriving in an extraordinary Schiaparelli Spring 2026 Haute Couture look designed by Daniel Roseberry.
The raffia sculptural bodice alone felt museum-worthy, but it was the overall styling that elevated the moment into one of the strongest of the year. The dramatic neckline, oversized pom-pom detail, and architectural shape carried the surreal glamour that Schiaparelli has mastered under Roseberry.
Meanwhile, the jewelry from Mikimoto — including the pearl halter detail from the Les Pétales Place Vendôme Rosés collection — transformed the gown into something almost operatic. With over 300 Akoya pearls integrated into the look, Blunt managed to appear simultaneously regal and avant-garde.
The ballerina bun and bold red lip kept everything sharp rather than overwhelming. It was theatrical, polished, and deeply fashion-aware — exactly the kind of look one imagines Miranda Priestly herself secretly approving of.

Meryl Streep Proves Simplicity Still Wins
While others embraced spectacle, Meryl Streep quietly reminded everyone why personal style always outlasts trends.
Throughout the press tour, Streep has leaned heavily into tailoring, particularly during her New York appearance in an all-black Celine ensemble. The sharp overcoat layered over relaxed barrel-leg trousers could have easily felt minimal to the point of forgettable — but the styling transformed it entirely.
The four layered belts cinching the waist added subtle eccentricity, while the studded boots, structured Luggage bag, and square sunglasses injected enough attitude to prevent the look from becoming too restrained.
It worked because it felt believable. Streep wasn’t trying to compete with louder red carpet dressing; instead, she leaned into understated authority. In many ways, it echoed Miranda Priestly herself: controlled, intentional, and confident enough not to demand attention.
And ironically, that confidence made the look one of the most memorable of the tour.

Coco Rocha Stole the Entire Premiere
Still, no one caused a bigger fashion moment than Coco Rocha.
Arriving at the premiere in a gigantic black-and-white polka-dot ball gown by Christian Siriano, Rocha essentially hijacked the red carpet in the best possible way. The exaggerated furry silhouette felt gloriously excessive — almost cartoonishly dramatic — yet Rocha’s ability to fully perform a garment made the entire moment irresistible.
In another era, such a look might have been dismissed as “too much.” But in today’s increasingly cautious celebrity fashion landscape, Rocha’s commitment to pure spectacle felt refreshing.
