Twenty years after the release of the cult 2000s film The Devil Wears Prada, a sequel is finally on its way. Featuring almost all of the original cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Stanley Tucci, it has been a major talking point since news of the release first emerged in 2024.
The Iconic Style of Miranda Priestly
Set in the offices of Runway, a fictional fashion magazine based on Vogue, the film is filled with standout clothing and impeccable styling, all curated by costume designer Molly Rogers. While all the looks in the film are admired, Meryl Streep’s Amanda Priestly’s style is arguably the most iconic. Sharp, perfectly tailored, and exuding luxury, it inspires a more polished, Priestley-approved wardrobe.

Tailoring with a Fashion-Editor Edge
Tailoring is a great starting point. To give it a fashion-editor edge, try unexpected colour combinations such as emerald green and dusty pink, or apricot and lilac, as seen on Streep’s character in the film’s promo. Step away from the classic poplin shirt and opt for a ruffle neck, pussybow, or even a tie.

Accessories and Final Touches
When it comes to accessories, keep them pared-back and sleek. Think pointed courts over chunky boots, and timeless totes over slouchy shoulder bags. To truly nail the look, embrace a put-together aesthetic without looking too corporate. Avoid fitted suiting; an oversized fit feels more modern.
You can find great options for this trend on the high street. Jigsaw and Whistles are excellent choices, and M&S is a must-try if you are looking for a bargain.
