Published: March 31, 2026 Last Updated 3 weeks ago by Esther Ejoh

The global press tour for the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada began in Mexico City on March 30, 2026. The event featured iconic style, references to the original film, and standout looks from Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep that honored their characters while introducing fresh elements.

Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep reunited at a brunch event at the Frida Kahlo Museum (La Casa Azul), blending fashion, film, and art. Their outfits highlighted the dynamic that defined the original film: youthful edge contrasted with timeless authority.

Hathaway wore a black Western-inspired ensemble from Schiaparelli, featuring a cowboy-style shirt and matching pencil skirt with long tubular fringe. The shirt included tassels on the lapels and cuffs, while the skirt’s asymmetrical fringe added movement.

Gold jeweled buttons and Schiaparelli’s Eye Bijou Belt with a gold eye motif provided opulent accents. She completed the look with black heels, rimless sunglasses, and sleek, loose hair.

The fringe added a modern, playful touch, while the structured tailoring maintained a polished and powerful appearance. The look suggested an evolved Andy Sachs, now confident and fashion-forward.

Meryl Streep wore a scarlet Dolce & Gabbana suit, channeling Miranda Priestly. The single-breasted blazer was paired with a dramatic pussy-bow blouse and wide-leg trousers for a commanding effect. Accessories included cranberry cat-eye sunglasses, Fope gold hoop earrings, and bright-red slingback heels, referencing the iconic red pump from the original film’s poster.

Streep’s look embodied Miranda: authoritative, elegant, and bold. The monochromatic red reinforced her character’s status and introduced a vibrant update for the sequel.

Additional Standout Looks from the Press Tour

At the press conference in Mexico City, the duo continued to impress:

• Anne Hathaway in Stella McCartney: She wore a pink sequined mini dress with a flared skirt from the Fall 2026 collection, paired with dark brown chunky thigh-high boots. Silver bracelets and bright red lipstick completed the youthful look.

• Meryl Streep in Schiaparelli: She chose a navy-blue belted coat with gold engraved buttons, gold-embellished drop earrings, and a structured black and gold Schiaparelli tote. The ensemble was polished and commanding, consistent with Miranda’s sophisticated style.

These additional outfits demonstrated the range both actresses brought to the tour, from playful sequins and boots to tailored luxury coats.

The contrast between Hathaway’s modern fringe and Streep’s classic red power suit, followed by her navy Schiaparelli look, created a striking visual dialogue: youth and experience, edge and elegance, the next generation meeting the icon. British Vogue summarized the moment with the caption “Gird your loins…” instantly recalling the original film’s most memorable line.

The event at Frida Kahlo’s former home added cultural depth, blending high fashion with artistic heritage. Both actresses appeared relaxed and joyful, dancing and posing together as they enjoyed their reunion after nearly two decades.

The Mexico City kickoff set a high standard for the rest of the press tour, which will continue in London, New York, and East Asia. Fans are already speculating about future looks, including more fringe, red, or unexpected designer choices. 

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026. Based on the press tour fashion, the film promises a stylish, witty, and highly anticipated return to the world of Runway magazine.

One thing is clear: whether in fringe, bold red, pink sequins, or navy tailored coats, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep continue to make fashion headlines.
