The Devil Wears Prada 2 global press tour positions the award-winning Meryl Streep as a true style icon, reviving Miranda Priestly through a masterclass in power dressing.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Alright, everyone. Gird your loins!&rdquo; &mdash; an announcement, a warning perhaps, that has become one of film&rsquo;s most iconic cues, signalling the arrival of a character who would come to define fashion&rsquo;s most exacting portrayal of power: Miranda Priestly. The entrance of this feared editor-in-chief &mdash; played with razor-sharp precision by the screen legend Meryl Streep &mdash; remains unmatched for a reason: the unseen presence, the swell of tension, and the exacting reveal that turns a simple arrival into a study in authority.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s a scene that lives rent-free in the minds of fashion cinephiles, which is precisely why her return in The Devil Wears Prada 2 feels less like a comeback, but more like she never really clocked out of Runway. And now, as the long-awaited sequel rolls out alongside a global press tour &mdash; from London to New York, Shanghai to Mexico &mdash; Streep slips back into the spotlight not just to revisit Miranda, but to extend her legacy.&nbsp;
Alongside returning co-stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, she has transformed every premiere and photocall into a masterclass in controlled elegance. While others leaned into the full transformation, Streep anchored her narrative with a wardrobe that feels intentional, measured, and unmistakably edited. From sharply tailored suits to sweeping statement coats, the award-winning actress doesn&rsquo;t simply reflect her character &mdash; she refines it, with the help of her talented stylist Micaela Erlanger. In doing so, she delivers a series of looks that subtly establish the tone of the press tour so far.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Devil Red</h4>

In The Devil Wears Prada, red is a language on its own &mdash; symbolizing power, control, and allure. It is a code long associated with the &lsquo;devil herself, Miranda Priestly &mdash; one that Meryl Streep revisits with intention in the press tours.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Dolce &amp; Gabbana</h4>

One of Andy Sachs&rsquo; first moments in The Devil Wears Prada comes with the now-iconic question, &lsquo;How do you spell Gabbana?&rsquo; &mdash; a line that marked her entry to fashion&rsquo;s fast-paced orbit. Years later, at the first stop of the press tour at the Frida Kahlo Museum, Meryl Streep answered this question in a striking head-to-toe red look from Dolce &amp; Gabbana. The ensemble consists of a sharply structured blazer and matching trousers, mellowed by the sheer blouse with a bow tied at the neck. Patent slingback pumps from Aldo tie the design of her custom Olympia Le-Tan, emblazoned with the movie's emblem: a pair of red stilettos with pitchfork-shaped heels.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Prada</h4>

In a press conference in Seoul, the devil finally wears Prada &mdash; and it&rsquo;s custom! Streep dons a bold double-breasted red Prada suit, defined by an exaggerated collar that draws focus to the d&eacute;colletage and flared trousers that elongate her lines. Styled with gold chain necklaces and black cat-eye glasses, the look is also completed with a brown belt that cinches the silhouette, referencing Look 13 from the house&rsquo;s 2009 Fall collection that distilled tailoring into a statement of feminine authority.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Givenchy</h4>

Stepping onto New York&rsquo;s red carpet premiere, Streep commanded attention in this billowing red cape from Givenchy&rsquo;s Fall/Winter 2026 collection by Sarah Burton &mdash; delivering the full fashion magazine editor-in-chief realness. A defining element of Miranda Priestly&rsquo;s wardrobe, the outerwear becomes the entire statement, accented with a matching leather ribbon tied at the neckline, which offers a subtle sense of softness. The black opera gloves, oversized sunglasses, David Yurman fine jewelry, and Stuart Weitzman pointed-toe boots added more drama to the ensemble with a distinctly authoritative finish.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Chanel</h4>

Among the standout outfits Meryl Streep wore throughout the world-spanning press tour, this ensemble from Chanel's Metiers d'Art 2026 collection by Matthieu Blazy &mdash; worn during a fan event in Tokyo &mdash; sparked the most clamor across both fashion and film circles. The vermillion coat and midi skirt set, detailed with an abstract white pattern and trimmed with cascading black fringes, moved with an editorial control. Finished with cap-toe slingbacks, oversized square sunglasses, and a vintage quilted clutch, all from Chanel, the composition was interrupted with a pop of blue beneath the arm, breaking the palette with a deliberate surprise.&nbsp;

The cerulean sweater monologue from the first film has since evolved into a kind of cultural shorthand on fashion&rsquo;s influence on the world, showing how ideas move from runway to reality. A simple color reframed as meaning reminds us that nothing is ever just blue &mdash; it can be turquoise, lapis, and certainly&nbsp;cerulean. At the sequel&rsquo;s premieres, Meryl Streep showcased that spectrum in motion, emerging in different shades of blue that extended the monologue&rsquo;s legacy into the present.&nbsp;

Who could forget about the iconic cerulean sweater Andy wore in The Devil Wears Prada? Certainly, not Meryl, as she revisited the moment in a custom cerulean cashmere sweater by J.Crew on her guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Developed in collaboration with her stylist Micaela Erlanger, the once-&lsquo;lumpy&rsquo; knit returned into something more refined &mdash; proof that fashion, like the monologue itself, endured through reinvention.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Schiaparelli</h4>

For The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in Mexico City, Streep opted for a more understated form of authority in the form of a navy shirt dress from Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry. Accentuated by a crisp collar, belted waist, and gold eye-motif buttons, the ensemble offered a subtle interplay between sculptural structure and surrealist details. Paired with the house&rsquo;s famed face bag, pearl teeth earrings, and black platform heels from Sole Bliss, it delivered a polished presence that felt effortlessly composed.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Saint Laurent</h4>

An ode to the fictional Yves Saint Laurent 2002 &lsquo;cerulean military jackets&rsquo; referenced in the film&rsquo;s infamous monologue (yes, it is not real), Meryl Streep appeared in the Shanghai red carpet premiere in a cobalt-blue dress from the maison&rsquo;s Fall/Winter 2025 collection by Anthony Vaccarello. With its angular shoulders, high-standing collar, and cinched waist, the silhouette reworks familiar military codes through a modernized lens. Finished with a Cindy Chao maple brooch, Wolford sheer tights, and Alexandre Birman pointed heels, it reframes power with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Urban Jungle</h4>

A fleeting yet significant moment in the first installment was the Urban Jungle shoot in the middle of Central Park, where Nigel subtly signals that Andy has begun to start doing well at her job, when she complains that her life is hanging by a thread. But more than that, the editorial is about how the modern woman unleashes the animal within to take on the big city. This time, however, Meryl Streep extends that metaphor into the press tours, as she steps out in animal prints that mirror the outfits in that scene.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Gucci</h4>

Ahead of the New York premiere, Streep channeled Miranda&rsquo;s more intimidating register in a La Bomba moment from Gucci&rsquo;s La Famiglia collection by Demna. Turning heads in this tiger-print shearling coat that refuses restraint, the silhouette is put together by a Gucci chain belt at the waist, introducing form to unfiltered drama. Completed with square-framed sunglasses and a red clutch, the ensemble continues the ongoing visual narrative of her wardrobe.&nbsp;

Before her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Meryl was seen in the streets in a leopard-print coat from Givenchy&rsquo;s Pre-Fall 2026 collection, featuring an oversized bow (another recurring element of her press tour closet), exaggerated sleeves, and an elongated silhouette. Matched with black cigarette trousers, slingbacks, and a cat-eye frame, the look is a study in controlled maximalism, while the Demellier Hudson top-handle bag and Fope jewelry grounded it with precise understatement.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Benefit Gala Black</h4>

In the world of fashion, black has become its most definitive uniform. More than a color of clothing &mdash; or lack thereof &mdash; it has evolved into a symbol of restraint, assertion, and modern elegance. That language of control carries from the Runway trio (Miranda, Andy, and Emily) at the SMBC benefit gala into The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tours, where Meryl Streep reaffirms black as her most commanding shade.&nbsp;

<h4 style="text-align: center;">Celine</h4>

Finishing up the premieres in South Korea, Streep embraced a black monochromatic palette in a custom Celine ensemble, referencing Look 54 from the maison&rsquo;s Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection. Defined by an asymmetrical cape, the one-shoulder silhouette extends into sharply cut high-waisted trousers and a cinched leather waistband that balances its architectural elements with fluidity and movement. Pairing the look with minimal yet precise accessories, the look underscored a refined sense of modern minimalism.&nbsp;
