The short answer: Disney+ UK teases a makeover and a possible smile from Miranda. Behind Andy’s return are new professional confidence and a wardrobe shaped by her life beyond Runway.
A Hamptons makeover for Anne Hathaway is the hook of Disney+ UK’s new The Devil Wears Prada 2 video. Its teaser has another attraction for returning fans: the suggestion of a smile from Miranda Priestly. For anyone familiar with Andy Sachs’s formidable former boss, that is quite an invitation.
The sequel brings Hathaway’s Andy back to Runway as its new features editor, rather than the junior assistant she played in the 2006 film. Meryl Streep returns as Miranda, but the balance has shifted: Andy has built a career, while Miranda’s glossy magazine empire faces an uncertain future.
Andy returns with confidence
For Hathaway, the change goes beyond Andy’s job title. Speaking to D23, she described a woman who has stayed true to her choices over the intervening years and gained a firmer footing at work.
She has professional confidence, which she earned. She knows her way around an office and has a little bit of power now, but is still a lovely person to have in a work environment, and seems like somebody who’d be really fun to be friends with, too. Anne Hathaway, speaking to D23 about Andy Sachs
Miranda, meanwhile, must contend with a magazine business whose foundations are shifting. Streep told D23 that the character still tightly controls herself and her team, even as her position becomes more precarious. Emily Charlton has gained influence elsewhere: Emily Blunt’s former Runway assistant now holds a senior position at Dior, with luxury-brand backing potentially crucial to the magazine’s survival. Familiar faces, then, but power has changed hands.
A wardrobe with a history
Beyond the Hamptons video, Andy’s wardrobe has a story of its own. Costume designer Molly Rogers told British Vogue that menswear and vintage touches help distinguish Andy’s style, while Hathaway wanted the clothes to reflect her years as a travelling reporter.
Hathaway told British Vogue she proposed a backstory in which Andy pursued investigative journalism, travelled the world and put her Runway education to use in consignment shops. She also pointed to a returning wardrobe moment with Stanley Tucci’s Nigel: “And then the magic closet moment comes back with Nigel.” The clothes offer a way back into this world without erasing the life Andy has built outside it.
That interest in what has changed extends beyond the costumes. Returning screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna told D23 that the sequel needed a substantial story about a changed world, rather than simply a tribute to fans. Andy’s new authority and Miranda’s professional pressures give their reunion more at stake than the pleasure of seeing familiar faces again.
