The Devil Wears Prada 2 Kicks Off Summer Box Office with Strong Debut Disney and 20th Century Studios’ sequel to The Devil Wears Prada opened the 2026 summer movie season with impressive box office results, generating $77 million in domestic ticket sales during its opening weekend. Globally, the film earned over $233 million in its first three days, surpassing the total earnings of the original film from 2006 by 72%. This performance highlights the enduring appeal of the franchise, even as Hollywood increasingly relies on established intellectual property for major releases. The film, starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, marked a return to the iconic roles that defined the original. Its success underscores the power of nostalgia and well-crafted storytelling, as the sequel avoided the typical blockbuster formula of superheroes or action sequences. Instead, it focused on the sharp wit and fashion-centric drama that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Domestically, the sequel’s opening weekend gross of $77 million ranked as the third-highest debut of the year, nearly triple the $27.5 million that the original earned during its 2006 premiere. Internationally, the film’s performance was even more striking, with over $150 million in overseas sales, bringing its global total to $233 million in its first three days. This figure represents 72% of the original film’s total theatrical earnings, a testament to its continued relevance. Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at Comscore, praised the film’s ability to resonate with audiences worldwide. “Some things never go out of fashion,” he told CNBC.#anne_hathaway #devil_wears_prada_2 #20th_century_studios #meryl_streep #paul_dergarabedian
Anne Hathaway on Meryl Streep’s Method Acting in Devil Wears Prada 2 Anne Hathaway revealed insights into Meryl Streep’s approach to the sequel Devil Wears Prada 2, clarifying that the acclaimed actress did not employ method acting techniques for the film. During an exclusive interview with E! News Creator Cam host Erin Lim Rhodes at the April 20 New York City premiere, Hathaway shared that Streep had made significant sacrifices for the 2006 original, immersing herself in the role of Runway editor Miranda Priestly. Hathaway described how Streep’s dedication to the character involved giving up social interactions on set, as the actress aimed to create a more intimidating presence for the cast. “Meryl loves being by the camera truck. She loves just the conversations that happen, the laughs,” Hathaway explained. “But for the first film, she felt the cast would be sharper and taller if they didn’t feel so comfortable around her.” This meant Streep forgoed her favorite socializing time, allowing the cast to embody their characters more intensely. For Devil Wears Prada 2, however, Streep opted to shift her approach. Hathaway recounted that the actress told her co-stars—Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci—that they could “do it themselves,” signaling a move away from method acting. “Meryl decided she wanted to spend more time with her costars,” Hathaway said, noting that this change allowed for a more collaborative dynamic on set. Hathaway also reflected on her own experience with the sequel, admitting she had moved past the intense pressure of creating a groundbreaking follow-up to the original film. “I’m kind of through that time in my life,” she said. “I don’t really want to focus on that part. I just kind of accept it.#anne_hathaway #devil_wears_prada_2 #e_news #meryl_streep #erin_lim_rhodes

Oscars 2026: Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour's 'Devil Wears Prada' Moment Anne Hathaway and Anna Wintour made a bold appearance at the 2026 Oscars, delivering a promotional moment for The Devil Wears Prada 2 during the ceremony. The duo took the stage to present the Best Costume Design award, with Frankenstein’s Kate Hawley ultimately winning the category. Wintour, known for her iconic role as Vogue editor Anna Wintour, stepped into the spotlight alongside Hathaway, who portrayed the character Miranda Priestly in the original film. The pair arrived on stage to the iconic track “Vogue” by Madonna, setting the tone for a performance that paid homage to the film’s memorable style. Hathaway, channeling her character’s sharp wit, remarked on the importance of costume in storytelling, noting, “The character’s costume is key to telling a story. One could argue that one’s wardrobe in real life is also key. Does it make one appear elegant and attractive on, say, the most important night in Hollywood, and say, the most important people in fashion will be judging how one looks... Anna, I’m just curious, what do you think of my dress tonight?” Wintour responded with her trademark deadpan humor, quipping, “And the nominees are…” before the audience erupted in laughter. The exchange highlighted the blend of humor and reverence for fashion that defined the moment. The Oscars ceremony featured a mix of nostalgic reunions and standout performances, including the Sinners cast and Misty Copeland’s rendition of “I Lied to You,” which drew widespread acclaim. Conan O’Brien’s monologue also sparked conversation, as he took aim at AI and Timothée Chalamet, while the Bridesmaids cast’s reunion on stage added a chaotic yet heartwarming touch to the event.#anna_wintour #anne_hathaway #devil_wears_prada_2 #oscar_ceremony_2026 #vogue

Styled by her longtime collaborator Erin Walsh, the dress featured a deep midnight black base adorned with vibrant pink floral prints, creating a striking contrast that emphasized both elegance and drama. The strapless, floor-sweeping design was complemented by a bold black belt at the waist, which helped balance the flared skirt and dramatic train, ensuring the silhouette remained sharp and refined.

The diamond necklace and matching earrings shone brightly, adding a touch of opulence to the look. Anne also opted for black opera-length gloves, which lent the outfit a timeless, sophisticated finish.

Anna Wintour and Anne Hathaway Made a Playful ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Reference at the 2026 Oscars The 2026 Oscars ceremony featured a memorable moment when Anna Wintour, Vogue Global Editorial Director, and Anne Hathaway, an Oscar-winning actress, took the stage to present awards for best costume design and best hair and makeup. The duo joined Frankenstein costume designer Kate Hawley and hair and makeup artists Mike Hill, Cliona Furey, Jordan Samuel, and Megan Many in receiving the honors. The interaction between Wintour and Hathaway drew attention as Hathaway nervously asked Wintour for her opinion on her outfit. Wintour responded with a sharp, humorous remark: “And the nominees for best costume design are…” This line was a clear nod to Hathaway’s role as a fashion assistant in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, where her character, Andrea, often found herself in awkward situations while navigating the high-stakes world of fashion. The reference was met with laughter, as the audience recognized the playful twist on the film’s iconic moment. Wintour later acknowledged Hathaway by saying, “Thank you, Emily,” a gesture that confirmed the nod to the movie. While Hathaway’s character in The Devil Wears Prada is named Andrea, the real-life Hathaway’s assistant, Emily, was present at the Dolby Theatre, adding a layer of authenticity to the moment. Wintour’s outfit, a Dior ensemble, and Hathaway’s Valentino gown were notable choices. The Valentino dress carried significance, as Hathaway had a close relationship with the late designer. She had attended Valentino’s funeral in Rome earlier that year and shared heartfelt tributes on Instagram, describing him as a “dear and cherished friend” who had a profound impact on her life.#valentino #anna_wintour #anne_hathaway #the_devil_wears_prada #dior
