EXCLUSIVE: Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway Reunite on Set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 - But Is Miranda Priestly's Water Bottle a Fashion Faux Pas?

Get ready for the ultimate power struggle! The one and only Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are back to face off as the iconic duo from the original hit film, The Devil Wears Prada. On Thursday, the two actresses were spotted on set in New York City, reprising their roles as Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs in the highly anticipated sequel.

The Princess Diaries star, 42, was seen arriving at the set looking effortlessly chic in a long-sleeved cream jumpsuit, paired with black and gold-colored flats and a matching purse. Her long, luscious locks cascaded down her back in light waves, perfectly complementing her glamorous makeup look. Hathaway accessorized her outfit with small, gold-hooped earrings and flashy gold necklaces, adding to her overall polished vibe.

Meanwhile, the legendary Meryl Streep, 76, brought her signature style to the set, rocking a brown leather skirt that fell just above her knees. She paired it with a purple blouse tucked into the waistline for a pop of color, layering a tan trench coat over her ensemble. The Death Becomes Her actress finished off her look with chunky gold earrings and closed-toed, brown pumps.

But the real question on everyone's mind is: what's next for Miranda Priestly? Sources close to the production have hinted at a major plot twist in the sequel, which has left fans eagerly awaiting more information. Hathaway recently confirmed that the film is currently in production and set to hit theaters next year in May 2026, marking exactly 20 years since the original film's release.

Other cast members were also spotted on set, including Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, Pauline Chalamet (Timothee Chalamet's older sister), and Alexina Graham. The movie's stars have been shooting multiple scenes in the streets of NYC this month, giving fans a sneak peek into what's to come.

As for Hathaway's character, it seems like Andy Sachs might be back working for Runway magazine - her former employer at the end of the first film. The word "Runway" was printed on a bag that Hathaway carried during filming, sparking rumors about her character's potential return to the fashion world.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver more drama, style, and wit, with an all-star cast including Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci reprising their roles. The premise of the film follows Miranda Priestly's struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media.

The first movie was a critical success, raking in $326.7 million at the box office on a budget of around $35-$41 million. It also earned two Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for Meryl Streep. The sequel is sure to live up to its predecessor's expectations, with a talented cast and crew bringing their A-game.

In an interview with WWD, Hathaway opened up about reprising her role as Andy Sachs, saying she was "so beautifully cared for" on the original film set. She expressed her excitement about taking on more leadership roles in the industry, citing her experience working on both The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries.

The news of Patrick Brammall's casting as Anne's new love interest in The Devil Wears Prada 2 has also been met with excitement from fans. However, it seems like his character might be a love interest for Andy Sachs, rather than Miranda Priestly - leaving room for more drama and tension between the two women.

As fans eagerly await the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, one thing is clear: Meryl Streep's water bottle on set has raised some eyebrows. A fan was seen expressing their discontent with the iconic actress' choice of hydration vessel, saying "Miranda would absolutely the f**k not" and "Stop this movie right now."

But we're here for it! The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be a wild ride, and we can't wait to see what's in store for Miranda Priestly and her team. With its all-star cast, stylish settings, and dramatic plot twists, this sequel is sure to deliver the goods.
