Meryl Streep Outshines Miranda Priestly in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Fashion

Red carpet choices and runway echoes

Streep’s Chanel outfit drew attention from fashion observers. The choice followed a season where Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel inspired long queues in Paris. Hundreds of editors waited for shoes in shades many did not prefer. Valentino’s Rockstud heels also made a notable appearance on Priestly in the sequel.

Costume team and character direction

The film’s costume designers previously worked on And Just Like That…. That collaboration shaped a more restrained, boardroom-ready silhouette for Priestly. The new direction makes her resemble a corporate strategist more than the commanding magazine editor of the first film.

Wardrobe lineage and references

The original film set a high bar for costume realism. Anne Hathaway’s stylist Erin Walsh said the earlier wardrobe felt documentary-like, sparking conversations across assistants and bosses. Iconic moments, such as fur and coat tosses at Andy Sachs, established Priestly’s dramatic presence.

Contemporary notes

Some modern touches nod to current brands and trends. Influencer labels like Maebe have already translated high-fashion tailoring into accessible pieces. Meanwhile, Givenchy by Sarah Burton supplied a leopard-print look Streep wore on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. That outfit carried more visual weight than several of the sequel’s boardroom looks.

How the sequel frames power dressing

Trailers suggest a softer, musical-comedy reading of fashion power. The new costumes lack the anthropological grit that defined the original. As a result, Miranda Priestly often feels closer to a PR executive than a magazine sovereign.

Filmogaz.com will continue covering costume developments as the film reaches wider audiences. The intersection of celebrity, runway influence, and character styling remains central to how these roles are read on screen.
