Anne Hathaway Returns in Le Diable S'habille En Prada 2 With 20-Year Reunion
Le diable s'habille en prada 2 brings Anne Hathaway back as Andy Sachs, who returns to Runway after losing her journalism job. Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are back too, alongside David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, making this a full reunion rather than a routine sequel.
Andy now comes back as deputy editor in chief and will face Miranda Priestly again. Miranda still runs Runway, but the sequel puts her under scandal pressure while the story shifts its fashion focus from Paris Fashion Week to Milan Fashion Week.
2006 Cast Returns
The original film arrived in 2006 and later became a cult film, which is why this sequel is being built around the same core team. Frankel directs again, and McKenna wrote the screenplay again, so the project keeps the old creative architecture intact instead of handing the brand to a new set of names.
That lineup matters because the sequel does not treat Andy as an outside observer. Hathaway’s character is now inside Runway’s power structure, and Streep’s Miranda remains the person she has to answer to. Tracie Thoms returns as Lily, Andy’s best friend, which keeps one of the story’s personal anchors in place as the workplace conflict tightens.
Miranda at Runway
Miranda is still the head of Runway, but her position is no longer protected by the same stability the first film implied. The sequel gives her a scandal, and it also adds Amari, an assistant played by Simone Ashley, who corrects Miranda when she slips verbally.
Emily Charlton has moved high up at Dior, which places Blunt’s character on the other side of the fashion-business divide. Lucy Liu appears as a wealthy divorcée, Caleb Hearon as a second assistant, and Helen J. Shen as Andy’s right-hand woman, filling out a workplace built around shifting status rather than the old assistant hierarchy.
Milan Fashion Week Shift
The sequel uses Milan Fashion Week instead of Paris Fashion Week, and that change signals a different commercial center for the story’s fashion machinery. Lady Gaga appears through lines and song, while Donatella Versace and Heidi Klum also appear in the film, keeping the sequel tied to the industry it is satirizing.
For viewers who remember the first film, the useful takeaway is simple: this is not a nostalgia exercise built on cameos alone. Andy is back in the magazine business at a higher level, Miranda is still in charge but exposed, and the sequel is set up to test whether the old hierarchy can survive a newer version of fashion power.
