Twenty years down the line, the Runway universe is reclaiming the stage — and the cast list is truly remarkable. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is materializing with a combination of returning favorites and prominent fresh faces, and the unveiling of the first authorized complete preview has granted viewers a more detailed glimpse at the progression of this next installment.
The initial mainstays Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are returning, complemented by the recent additions of Lucy Liu, Simone Ashley, and Kenneth Branagh, uniting diverse generations of actors for a fresh chapter of drive, beauty, and corporate conflicts.
Here’s your compendium to each celebrity verified (and speculated) to feature in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly
Streep will take on her Academy Award-nominated part once more as the frosty, authoritative editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, one of cinema’s most unforgettable personas. Almost two decades later, Miranda endures as a dominant presence in fashion — however, the sequel will examine how she is conforming to a sector reshaped by social platforms and web-based personalities.
Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs
Hathaway is back as Andy Sachs, the determined reporter who formerly worked under Miranda and notably departed Runway at the conclusion of the initial movie. At this point, Andy is apparently a commanding figure in the world of media herself — possibly managing her own online outlet or acting as a rival editor.

Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton
The acerbic aide we all enjoyed is back — although this time, Emily Charlton may have transitioned to grander prospects. Portrayed once more by Blunt, Miranda’s past assistant is rumored to be employed as a distinguished fashion advisor or creative director, perhaps intersecting with both Miranda and Andy in the continuation.
Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling
No Runway narrative would be complete devoid of Nigel, the humorous and devoted art director who invariably assisted Andy. Stanley Tucci will repeat the much-loved part, reportedly acting as a mentoring character once more — this time for a younger wave of fashion aspirants.
Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s Husband
New to the Prada realm, Kenneth Branagh is joining the cast as Miranda’s spouse, affording admirers a rare peek into the editor’s private existence.
Lucy Liu
Lucy Liu is joining the follow-up in a role yet to be divulged, with speculation pointing towards a competing fashion executive or high-ranking editor.
Simone Ashley
Riding high from her breakthrough accomplishment in Bridgerton and Sex Education, Simone Ashley is allegedly embodying a social media sensation or influencer-turned-editor who exemplifies the upcoming generation of fashion dominance.
Pauline Chalamet
Pauline Chalamet, recognized for The Sex Lives of College Girls, has signed onto the cast in a supporting position — potentially as Andy’s subsequent assistant or a budding reporter penetrating the frenzied domain of fashion journalism.
Justin Theroux
Reverting to his screenwriting origins and pointed comedic style, Justin Theroux is said to be portraying a creative supervisor or media tycoon connected to Andy’s recent undertaking.
B.J. Novak, Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen & Caleb Hearon
B.J. Novak is allegedly engaged as a tech innovator or financier immersed in digital fashion, Conrad Ricamora as a publicist or opposing brand planner, Helen J. Shen as an emerging designer, and Caleb Hearon in a comical assistant role that contributes humor to Runway’s demanding setting.
Lady Gaga
In one of the most discussed casting revelations, Lady Gaga has formally become part of The Devil Wears Prada 2. While the specifics of her character are being kept secret, industry insiders hint that she’ll depict an eminent fashion executive or couturier who rivals Runway’s sway in the modern web-based period.
The Academy Award-winning actress and House of Gucci star was seen during October 2025 shooting scenes in Milan, prompting many to surmise that her character will represent the innovative visage of global high fashion.
