The buzz around The Devil Wears Prada 2 has grown louder after Milan Fashion Week featured an unexpected mix of Hollywood icons and Korean stars. On September 27 (local time), Meryl Streep reprised her signature role as Miranda Priestly at the Dolce & Gabbana SS29 show during Milan Fashion Week.
The surprise appearance quickly sparked speculation that the scene could be part of The Devil Wears Prada 2, which is already filming in Milan and New York. The sequel, now nearly 20 years after the 2006 hit, has been drawing global attention since production began in June.
Fans also noticed that South Korean actress Mun Ka Young and NCT member Doyoung were seated in the front row next to Naomi Campbell, with Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep nearby. Both stars currently serve as global ambassadors for Dolce & Gabbana
Their placement in the front row, one of the most important spots at any fashion show, was seen as a strategic choice by the brand and possibly the film’s production. This has led to strong speculation that Mun Ka Young and Doyoung could make cameo appearances in the sequel.
The original The Devil Wears Prada stood out not only for its story but also for cameos from real figures in fashion. Many believe the sequel will follow the same formula to capture the fashion world’s energy. If Mun Ka Young and Doyoung appear, it would spotlight their rising global influence and bring in a new wave of fans from Asia. Industry insiders have even suggested that their presence could help promote the movie internationally.
Meryl Streep’s appearance at Dolce & Gabbana became one of Milan Fashion Week’s defining moments. International outlets highlighted her return in character, noting that “the devil wears Dolce & Gabbana (not Prada),” as CNN quipped. Wearing a glossy trench coat and her trademark oversized sunglasses, Streep drew attention back to the upcoming film, even before official marketing has begun.
Directed once again by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, the sequel is based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns. The story will explore Miranda Priestly’s struggle to remain relevant as the print magazine industry faces decline.
The confirmed cast includes returning stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Tracie Thoms, Kenneth Branagh, and Tibor Feldman.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit North American theaters on May 1, 2026, nearly 20 years after the first film became a global box office hit.
