The cerulean sweater is back in style, nearly two decades after The Devil Wears Prada first graced our screens, a sequel is officially in the works. And while Meryl Streep hasn’t said “that’s all” just yet, Emily Blunt is giving fans a tantalizing glimpse into what might be coming.

Blunt, 42, recently shared her excitement at the American Institute for Stuttering’s 19th Annual Gala. Though she hasn’t seen a script, she did lean into rumors about her character Emily Charlton climbing the fashion ranks and possibly going head-to-head with her legendary former boss Miranda Priestly.

Fashion Rivalries Never Go Out of Style

When asked about the dynamic between her and Meryl Streep’s ice-cold editrix, Blunt laughed, “Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do? We always have beef with each other.” From Into the Woods to Mary Poppins Returns, the pair has built a cinematic tension that seems destined to return, this time in a high-stakes battle of fashion versus media.

While she couldn’t confirm plot details, Blunt joked, “Let’s hope we remedy it. I’m not sure,” expertly dodging spoilers with a wink and a smile. According to Variety, the story will reportedly follow Miranda navigating the fall of print publishing while desperately needing advertising dollars from a now powerful Emily, who works for a luxury fashion conglomerate. Yes, karma’s wearing designer heels.

From Runway to Mommy Run-Ins

Blunt’s daughters Hazel, 11, and Violet, 9, whom she shares with husband John Krasinski, are reportedly just as excited about the sequel. “I think they would quite like to go to set. Just for the fashion,” Blunt said. Clearly, style runs in the family.

It’s been a full 20 years since the original 2006 classic, which also starred Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci, became a touchstone for fashion-lovers and quoters alike. While Hathaway and Tucci have not yet been confirmed, speculation is swirling that many original cast members will return for this sartorial second act.

Will the Sequel Mirror the Books?

There’s also chatter that the upcoming film could borrow from Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, Lauren Weisberger’s 2013 follow-up novel. That story picks up a decade later, with Andy and Emily working together as successful editors, until Miranda reenters their lives with chaos (and couture) in tow.

Whether the sequel stays loyal to the book or crafts its own plot, fans can expect an evolved take on the fashion journalism world, now grappling with digital disruption, influencer culture, and, of course, the eternal allure of a well-tailored coat.

Fans React: A Sequel We’ve Been Manifesting

Online, the buzz is building faster than a sample sale at Chanel. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) simply wrote, “Oh we will be watching” Others are whipping out the heels and preparing for the release like it’s training for war, “America immediately starts practicing walking in heels again.”

Save the Date

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, strategically landing just before the Met Gala. And really, could there be a better way to kick off fashion’s biggest weekend than with a clash of couture titans?

Until then, gird your loins.
