Emily Blunt is channeling her inner Emily Charlton on the The Devil Wears Prada 2 set.
Blunt, 42, turned heads in New York City on Tuesday, July 29, when she was spotted filming the upcoming movie while sporting a revived red hairstyle. On set, Blunt rocked a black-and-white outfit with a pair of sunglasses and the character’s signature red locks.
Blunt costars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep have also been spotted shooting scenes for the long-awaited sequel to 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada. The cast starred in the original film, which centered around Hathaway’s Andy Sachs, who was hired as an assistant to fashion editor Miranda Priestly (Streep). The movie also featured Blunt as an assistant, Stanley Tucci as an art director and Adrian Grenier as Sachs’ less-than-supportive boyfriend.
While Blunt gushed on The View in November 2022 that she would be part of a second movie “in a heartbeat,” she seemingly changed her mind two years later. In February 2024, Blunt claimed that there had “never” been much movement about creating a second film and noted that the cast is “good” with the first movie.

They asked her about it, ‘Would she ever do a sequel?’ and she went, ‘Yeah, if I don’t have to lose the weight.’ But I think she said ‘the f***ing weight.’”
Nearly two decades after the OG movie’s release, news broke that Blunt, Hathaway, Streep and Tucci would be reprising their roles in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Grenier, however, is not returning.
Emily Blunt is remaining tight-lipped about the potential of a Devil Wears Prada sequel, but she’s on-board with the idea. “There [are] rumblings,” Blunt, 41, said on Thursday, December 5, at the Red Sea International Film Festival, per The Hollywood Reporter. “There is stuff churning around.” The Oppenheimer star noted that she wasn’t sure whether […]
Several new faces are reportedly joining the cast in The Devil Wears Prada 2, including Kenneth Branagh as Miranda’s husband.

After filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 began, Hathaway teased the sequel’s fashion moments in several social media posts.

“Oh, my God. It’s the first day of shooting Devil Wears Prada [2]. I brought the frames that David Frankel, our director, wore on the first Devil Wears Prada 20 years ago,” she said in a July 22 Instagram video. “All of us on set fell in love with them, and we all got them. And, we all are back 20 years later — and we checked, and we all still have them. I brought mine as a good luck [charm] for our first day.”
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled to hit theaters May 1, 2026.
