‘The Devil Wears Prada' Cast Then and Now: 20 Years of Fashion
It's been 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada was released, but with the sequel set to release on May 1, the cast is back together again.
The first film was released in 2006, following aspiring journalist Andy Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway), who takes on a job with Runway magazine to work for Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). The upcoming sequel finds the characters back together, this time following Miranda as she nears retirement.
Hathaway, Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci hit the red carpet on April 20 in New York City to promote the upcoming film. Although 20 years have passed, the stars of The Devil Wears Prada were as stunning as ever.
Hathaway wore a stunning custom red Louis Vuitton gown by Nicolas Ghesquière, along with pink gold Bulgari jewels. People Magazine called the outfit "a very Andy Sachs-coded ensemble," and named Hathaway People's World's Most Beautiful. The 43-year-old actress also wore red to the 2006 premiere, donning a crimson gown with a plunging cowl neck.
At that first premiere, Streep wore a cream satin blouse with a matching knee-length skirt. This time, the 76-year-old opted for a red-orange cape coat from Givenchy's fall 2026 collection, according to ELLE.
Since fans were desperate to know what Streep would be wearing to the premiere, her stylist, Micaela Erlanger, decided to keep Streep's outfit a surprise.
"We wanted to throw fans off with a look that photographers would capture her in beforehand," Erlanger said in an interview with ELLE. "So we put her in this over-the-top Gucci tiger coat that was impossible to miss and so fun on its own. It was like we got to add one more moment, before the big moment."
Perhaps the most striking on the red carpet was Blunt, wearing a Schiaparelli gown from the brand's spring 2026 couture collection. The raffia bodice and tiered skirt were paired with over 300 pearls, from her bracelets to her necklace. Blunt's jewelry collection was chosen from Mikimoto's Les Pétales Place Vendôme Rosés collection, according to Vogue.
"I've always been drawn to pearls, they have such a timeless feel," Blunt told the publication. "I've long admired Mikimoto for its extraordinary heritage. As the originator of cultured pearls, there's a real sense of history and artistry behind each piece, which makes wearing their jewelry feel incredibly meaningful."
