The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour is picking up steam ahead of its release. Star Meryl Streep reprised her role as Miranda Priestly on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and reminded us why The Devil Wears Prada remains one of the most quotable fashion films of all time.

Before taping the show with Stephen Colbert, the actress appeared in a voluminous leopard-print coat with a bow and puffy sleeves, black skinny jeans and black pointed-toe shoes. The look was complemented by laconic sunglasses, gold hoop earrings and a Hudson bag from the DeMellier brand. In the original film, her character Miranda often gravitated towards large designer bags with a clear, rigid shape. Among them were the Prada Spazzolato, the velvet Fendi Magic, a Chanel alligator bag and several Hermès models, including the Kelly.

Meryl Streep continued this stylistic game on The Stephen Colbert Show. The actress appeared in the studio in a sky-blue sweater that immediately reminded of the iconic scene from the original 2006 film. In it, Streep's character coldly and categorically explains to Anne Hathaway's character that “her sweater is not just blue, it's sky-blue,” and emphasizes that this shade first appeared in the world of high fashion and only then found its way into mass-market stores.
This fashion gesture was not the only nod to the original film “The Devil Wears Prada.” Before arriving at the studio, Streep starred in a humorous video with Stephen Colbert, where she recreated a fragment of the same legendary scene and once again tried on Miranda Priestly's familiar commanding intonation.

The look for the show made Streep's appearance complete and impeccably thought out. The sky-blue sweater became the perfect quote from the film, which was impossible not to recognize. Against the backdrop of active promotion of the film “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and a new surge of interest in the film, this exit is especially apt: Meryl Streep not only remembered the iconic moment, but beautifully returned it to the current pop culture context.
