Pointier horns, sharper heels: The trio will reprise their roles, but who else stars in fashion’s fiercest return?
Twentieth Century Studios might've moved at a glacial pace but we're finally getting a follow up to the 2006 haute couture comedy-drama with The Devil Wears Prada 2 – a glamorous sequel that brings the cutthroat world of Runway magazine to the modern era.

Set several years after that first film, tit will follow Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) as she faces the collapse of traditional publishing while Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) rises as a powerful luxury brand executive – sparking a fierce rivalry that challenges both women’s hold on the fashion empire.
Streep leads the returning cast alongside Blunt, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci. But who else is strutting onto the catwalk in this highly anticipated sequel?
