'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Fashion Breakdown: The Cerulean Sweater Returns, Miranda's Red Balenciaga Gown & Emily's Stunning Dior Looks


 

How costume designer Molly Rogers brought the most iconic fashion moments of the sequel to life.

​⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This article contains plot details from The Devil Wears Prada 2, now playing in theaters.


​Twenty years ago, a simple cerulean blue cable-knit sweater became one of the most iconic pieces of clothing in Hollywood history. Now, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is back — and so is that legendary sweater.

The Cerulean Sweater Makes Its Return

​After reading the script, costume designer Molly Rogers had one immediate thought: "I have to put the cerulean blue sweater in 2." Director David Frankel agreed immediately.

​Rogers tracked down the original sweater from the archives and used it as a reference to create a brand-new version. The idea was that Andy had held onto the sweater all these years — it’s a deeply emotional callback for the fans.

Miranda's Iconic Red Balenciaga Entrance

​For Miranda's grand return, Rogers turned to the luxury fashion house Balenciaga. When discussing the look with Meryl Streep, the choice of color was clear: "The devil comes back in red." Miranda makes her unforgettable entrance in a Balenciaga red ballgown made from silk taffeta. It’s powerful, commanding, and absolutely perfect for Miranda Priestly.

Emily's Edgy Dior World

​In the sequel, Emily (Emily Blunt) holds a senior position at Dior. However, Rogers was careful not to dress her head-to-toe in one brand.

  • ​Emily’s style remains edgy and risky.
  • ​The wardrobe features a mix of corsets and bold accessories.
  • ​It maintains the DNA of her original character (who loved Vivienne Westwood and Margiela).

Armani Privé in Milan — A Special Tribute

​When the story moves to Milan, Miranda wears a black sequined coat from the Armani Privé Spring 2026 Couture Collection.

​In another key scene, both Andy and Miranda are seen in Armani Privé. The crystalized suspenders worn by Andy serve as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary fashion designer.

Andy's New Look: From Assistant to Award-Winning Reporter

​Andy's fashion has officially "grown up." Her new wardrobe includes:

  • Plaid chiffon from Christopher John Rogers.
  • Knife-pleat skirts from Fendi.
  • Blue Margiela blazers paired with fitted oxfords.
  • ​A "beaten-up" Coach messenger bag, perfect for her life as a reporter.

Bottom Line

The Devil Wears Prada 2 isn't just a sequel — it's a full-blown fashion event. From the emotional return of the cerulean sweater to Miranda's blood-red power gown, every outfit tells a story.
