Miranda Priestly Meets Anna Wintour in Elevator: The Devil Wears Prada 2 Teaser Video Revealed
What would happen if Miranda Priestly met Anna Wintour? At
first glance from this video, not very much at all. There is no explosion, no
visible drama, no theatrical collapse beneath the weight of mutual frostiness. But there is Dancing Queen by Abba playing in
the elevator that they share (a lovely nod to another of Meryl Streep’s roles). Miranda Priestly is, of course, a fictional
character. Anna Wintour is the woman that said fictional character is based on. So, it’s all getting a little meta in the
elevator, frankly.
Why now? You may have been blissfully unaware, but The Devil
Wears Prada 2 is officially on its way and in a stroke of marketing genius, the
people at Vogue managed to get Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour to collaborate on
this short, chance meeting between the two icons of fashion.
Nearly twenty years after the original first snapped its
fingers at an unsuspecting world, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to arrive in
cinemas on 1 May 2026, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and
Stanley Tucci all returning, alongside director David Frankel and writer Aline
Brosh McKenna. In other words, this is not some flimsy, bargain-bin
resurrection, but a properly assembled return to the polished battlefield of
fashion, publishing and exquisitely delivered contempt.
But I expect you really want to know what they’re wearing…
and, naturally, this super-short film doesn’t disappoint. Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) is dressed in a sharply tailored Givenchy suit, finished with
sunglasses, shoes and a bag by Prada, while Anna Wintour (played by, erm, Anna Wintour) appears in a Chanel
dress pretty much hidden an Alexander McQueen coat, accessorised with Manolo
Blahnik boots and jewellery by S.J. Phillips - a line-up so extravagantly
curated it practically announces itself before either woman says a word.
