As Meryl Streep prepares to reprise her iconic role as Miranda Priestly in the upcoming sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada,' her longtime stylist Micaela Erlanger is pulling out all the stops for the film's global press tour. From a bold red Dolce & Gabbana suit punctuated with Streep's personal brooches to a floor-length Schiaparelli gown, Erlanger is ensuring Streep's looks are both modern and chic, with a nod to the original film's fashion legacy.

Why it matters

The Devil Wears Prada was a landmark film that pulled back the curtain on the fashion industry, and the highly anticipated sequel is poised to further cement Streep's status as a style icon. Erlanger's fashion choices for the press tour will be heavily scrutinized, as she aims to dress Streep in a way that honors the character of Miranda Priestly while also reflecting the actress's own personal style and the evolution of her career.

The details

For the Mexico City premiere, Streep's first look was a bold red suit from Dolce & Gabbana, accessorized with brooches from her personal collection, including two purple ribbons from when she was awarded the National Medal of the Arts by President Obama in 2010. She later changed into a floor-length, buttoned-up Schiaparelli gown. Erlanger worked closely with Streep to curate a wardrobe that would capture the spirit of the original film while also feeling modern and chic, representing Streep's status as a powerful and realized woman at the height of her career.

  • The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to premiere on May 1, 2026.
