Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci film The Devil Wears Prada 2 at NYC Museum
Filming for The Devils Wears Prada 2 is underway at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City
Filming is officially underway for The Devil Wears Prada 2, and fans were treated to a dazzling glimpse of the highly anticipated sequel on Friday night as Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci were seen shooting a grand Met Gala–style scene at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
Streep, reprising her role as the formidable Miranda Priestly, was spotted wearing a striking red ballgown with dramatic detailing—a bold statement piece that echoed her character’s signature commanding style. Tucci, returning as the ever-chic Nigel Kipling, looked equally sharp in a classic black tuxedo, complete with stylish accessories. They were joined by a host of actors in high-fashion evening wear, filming what appeared to be one of the film’s most glamorous set pieces to date.
Earlier in the day, Streep was also seen arriving on set in a more understated look: a camel trench coat layered over black trousers and a patterned shirt, finished with a splash of colour courtesy of vibrant red satin heels. The transformation from street chic to red carpet royalty was nothing short of seamless—just as fans would expect from Miranda Priestly.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 picks up nearly two decades after the events of the original film. This time, Miranda is facing new challenges as the power of traditional print media declines, and she finds herself dependent on the influence—and advertising budgets—of her former assistant Emily Charlton, now a top executive in the fashion-tech world. The sequel reunites the core cast from the first film, with Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt also confirmed to return alongside Streep and Tucci.
The original Devil Wears Prada, released in 2006, was a critical and commercial hit, grossing over $300 million worldwide and earning Meryl Streep widespread acclaim for her performance. The film became a cultural touchstone for its sharp script, memorable fashion, and biting portrayal of the high-stakes fashion industry. It has since become one of the most beloved films of the 2000s, with its legacy growing year after year.
With production in full swing and excitement building, the sequel promises a return to the stylish, sharp-edged world that captured audiences nearly twenty years ago. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit cinemas in 2026—bringing back the heels, the handbags, and the perfectly arched eyebrows of one of cinema’s most iconic characters.
