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.
