Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all reprised their roles from the 2006 hit The Devil Wears Prada for The Devil Wears Prada 2
The 2026 sequel sees the characters reunite as they navigate the declining world of print media publishing
Hathaway, Streep, Blunt and Tucci have all enjoyed successful careers since the first film's premiere
A lot has changed atRunwayover the last 20 years!
WhenThe Devil Wears Pradapremiered in 2006, it introduced Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) as a recent college graduate trying to make a name for herself as a journalist. Along the way, she scores the job that "a million girls would kill for," a second assistant position to (fictional)Runwayeditor-in-chief Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep).
However, Andy quickly learns that the job comes with a lot more strings attached than fun perks — including navigating her working relationship with first assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) and mentor Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci).
Two decades after Andy leftRunway, she returns to help Miranda and her sidekick Nigel navigate the new digital landscape of media and determine what happens to the glossy magazine next inThe Devil Wears Prada 2. Meanwhile, Emily has since moved on and works as an executive at a luxury brand competing withRunwayfor advertising funds.
From where the characters are now to what the stars have been up to over the last 20 years, here's everything to know aboutThe Devil Wears Pradacast in the first movie and the sequel.
Hathaway reprised her role as Andy Sachs inThe Devil Wears Prada 2. However, unlike her character in the first film, Andy is now an experienced journalist who has spent the last 20 years traveling across the world as an investigative reporter.
“You see her come back toRunwayfrom her reporting job and she’s figuring herself out again, professionally and emotionally,” costume designer Molly Rogers toldVogue.
She finds herself returning toRunwayas an editor under reigning editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly. Andy teams up with Miranda and Nigel to adapt the magazine to the changing media landscape.
While Hathaway's beloved character has come into her own, the actress has also had plenty of success over the last 20 years. She won anAcademy Awardfor her role inLes Misérablesand also starred in hit filmsBride Wars, Love & Other Drugs,The Dark Knight Rises, The InternandThe Idea of You.
As for her personal life, Hathaway — who was namedPEOPLE's World's Most Beautiful 2026— has been married toAdam Shulmansince 2012, with whom she shares sonsJonathan and Jack.
While Miranda Priestly faced a potential power change as the editor-in-chief ofRunwayin the first film, she has remained the magazine's boss throughout the last 20 years. However, she finds herself struggling to find howRunwayfits into the changing media landscape and enlists the help of Andy and Nigel.
“As a person holding her position for 20 years, she kept her look but adapted it, as we do with time,” Streep toldVogueof her character's changing style and personality over the years. “But I almost had PTSD from wearing high heels for 16 weeks. I feel like I should get a Medal of Freedom!"

Before Streep starred inThe Devil Wears Prada, she had already earned two Oscars and anEmmy, and her career has only skyrocketed since. She won her third Oscar for her performance inThe Iron Ladyand also received praise for her roles inMamma Mia!, Doubt, The Post, Don't Look Upand more.
Meanwhile, Streep is also a mother tofour children, whom she shares withestranged husband Don Gummer: Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa.
Blunt's Emily Charlton was introduced as Miranda's dedicated first assistant, desperate to seek her approval and make a name for herself in the world of fashion. Unfortunately, she was constantly one-upped by Andy and even had her belovedParis Fashion Weektaken away from her.
Luckily for Emily, she has moved on fromRunwayand is now working as a successful executive at a luxury fashion house. Unlike the first movie, Emily may hold more power, since she's competing againstRunwayand Miranda over "advertising dollars that Miranda desperately needs," perVariety.
Since her time on the fashion movie set, Blunt — who was nominated for aGolden Globefor her performance in the first film — furthered her acting career in films likeEdge of Tomorrow, The Girl on the Train, A Quiet Place, Mary Poppins ReturnsandOppenheimer, which earned her an Oscar nomination.
Shortly after starring inThe Devil Wears Prada, she metJohn Krasinski, and theygot married in July 2010. The couple share two daughters:Hazel and Violet.
Tucci stole viewers' hearts when he played Nigel Kipling, longtimeRunwayfashion editor and Miranda's confidant. Although his stylish character didn't initially relate to Andy, he found himself taking her under her wing and even showing her the ropes ofRunwayand the coveted fashion closet.
In the sequel, Nigel remains loyal to Miranda and continues to work atRunway.
"Nigel must’ve been always hiding away inside me,” Tucci toldVogueof his character. “There was a good deal of Nigel in me, and so I was just able to let it all out again."
Over the last two decades, Tucci has worked on several award-winning projects — includingThe Lovely Bones, Julie & Julia, The Hunger Games, Burlesque, SpotlightandConclave.He won Emmy Awards for his performances inMonk, as well as his CNN food and travel docuseriesStanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, among others.
At the time of the first film's 2006 premiere, he was married toKathryn Spath, with whom he welcomedthree children— twins Isabel andNicoloand daughter Camilla — butKathryn died from cancer in 2009. The following year, Blunt introduced him to her sister,Felicity Blunt, and they got married in 2012. They havetwo children: Matteo and Emilia.
