Meryl Streep surprised fashion insiders by arriving at Dolce & Gabbana’s Milan Fashion Week show in full Miranda Priestly mode, filming scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2. She took a front-row seat alongside Stanley Tucci, completing the meta moment in character with signature sunglasses, silver hair, and a polished vinyl trench coat.
The moment blurred fiction and reality: cameras rolled discreetly as Streep and Tucci whispered among themselves during the runway presentation. Among those seated nearby was Anna Wintour, long believed to have inspired the Priestly character — putting the real and fictional worlds in striking proximity.
The collection featured bold nightwear elements — rhinestone pajamas, sheer lingerie, brocade jackets — fitting the show’s theatrical tone and giving the Prada sequel potential visual easter eggs. After the show, Streep and Tucci moved backstage, where filming continued away from the audience.
This unexpected reenactment isn’t just promotion — it’s a bold creative choice that signals the sequel intends to lean into the interplay of fashion, performance, and narrative. With Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, and other returning cast members, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already shaping up as a high-glamour return for Priestly’s reign.
