Anna Wintour may be leaving Vogue but Miranda Priestly is here to stay.
Meryl Streep has been seen prepping for The Devil Wears Prada 2 on the streets of New York, with Priestly sporting her signature silver, side-swept hair, a sleek leather skirt from designer Gabriela Hearst, and shielding those professionally judgmental eyes with a pair of pitch-black Jimmy Choo sunglasses.
While Streepβs character in the movie always has the final word β βthatβs allβ β as the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, itβs the return of Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs that has fashion fans zooming in on photographs of costume labels for inspiration.

In the original movie from 2006, Chanel dominated Sachsβ wardrobe, once Nigel (Stanley Tucci) helped her dispose of that cerulean blue sweater and introduced the character to tweed and thigh-high boots. This time the filmβs costume designers are casting the net wider, although so far, no Prada.
If you want to get ahead of the filmβs planned May 1, 2026 release date and steal Hathawayβs looks, start with the Gabriela Hearst multicolour embroidered maxi-dress.
While the label isnβt Chanel, the price tag is just as impressive, with the dress available from Gabriela Hearst for $13,400. The pale blue Fendi handbag Sachs carries is slightly more within reach of mere, mortgaged mortals at $2680 (although itβs currently sold out).
More accessible and inspiring is an Agolde denim maxi-skirt worn by Hathaway with a simple white singlet from Toteme. While the originals are difficult to find, a quick trip to Cotton On or Kmart could put you on the right track, if itβs unlikely youβll be standing near Wintour or the equally fearsome Streep playing Priestly in the near future.
The sold-out Chanel velcro sandals, which have a touch of the German backpacker (from the right side of Berlin) about them, worn with the everyday outfit by Hathaway, debuted in former creative director Virginie Viardβs autumn 2022 collection and are now being sought out on second-hand sites.
