Anne Hathaway Is Andy Sachs Again — The Devil Wears Prada 2 Starts Rolling

She’s back. Nearly two decades after she handed in that final manuscript and walked away from the chaos of Runway, Andy Sachs is lacing up her boots — this time, with pointed toes, pinstripes, and gold hardware.

Anne Hathaway, now 42 and still camera-proof, posted the first look at her return as the intern-turned-insider on Instagram Monday morning. The caption was short and sharp: “Andy Sachs 2025 #dwp2.” No fanfare. No fluff. Just enough to light a fuse.

The image shows Hathaway in full editorial armor — vest, trousers, boots, a gold T-bar necklace. Classic Runway, dressed for battle in the boardroom. Later that day she was spotted on the New York sidewalk in a sleeveless white top and denim skirt, hair windswept, Chanel slides on her feet. Effortless. Intentional.

She also slipped a TikTok into the mix — blue sweater, toothbrush in hand — a quiet nod to the infamous cerulean monologue from the original film. Just a whisper of nostalgia to send the die-hards into meltdown.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production. Twenty-odd years after the first one dropped like a stiletto in a church, 20th Century Studios confirmed the sequel with a slick teaser: a red pump with a devil’s pitchfork heel. The new film lands May 1, 2026.

Plot-wise, we’re in the age of dying print and digital supremacy. Miranda Priestly — still sharp, still impossible — is navigating the slow collapse of old media. Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) is no longer the junior sidekick; she’s a power player at a luxury conglomerate that may hold Runway’s future in its hands.

Everyone’s back. Streep. Blunt. Tucci. Tracie Thoms. Even Tibor Feldman. But the sequel’s not coasting on familiarity. New cast members include Lucy Liu, B.J. Novak, Justin Theroux, Pauline Chalamet, and Kenneth Branagh — the latter playing Miranda’s husband. Presumably the kind of man who’s immune to icy stares and impossible standards.

The original was never just a fashion flick. It was a cultural snapshot. A loaded monologue on ambition, aesthetics, and the cost of climbing ladders. And yes — fashion is still front and center in the sequel. The cerulean’s long gone, replaced by razor-sharp tailoring and couture armor for the algorithm age.

For now, it’s just one image and a teaser. But the signal is clear: the girls are back, and the stakes are different. The devil wears Prada — again — but this time, she’s playing for keeps.
