Fashion and drama are making a spectacular return as Hollywood unveils the first full-length trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. Nearly two decades after the original film became a pop-culture phenomenon, the makers have released the trailer that has already taken social media by storm, reuniting the iconic cast in their fashionable best.
Iconic Trio Returns to Runway Magazine
The trailer brings back everyone's favorite trio: Meryl Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, and Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton.
