Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 hit the theatres on May 1 this year, reigniting nostalgia and fashion among movie enthusiasts. The much-awaited sequel brought back Hathaway as Andrea ‘Andy’ Sachs, now a seasoned editor in the fashion world and Streep as the commanding editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly, now eyeing retirement. Emily Blunt, Simone Ashley and Stanley Tucci are also a part of the cast. As The Devil Wears Prada 2 continues to create waves at the box office, the film’s costume designer, Molly Rogers, has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes anecdote.
Molly Roger, in a panel discussion at Fashionphile’s headquarters in New York City, opened up about a wardrobe clash between Meryl Streep and The Devil Wears Prada 2 team, a creative disagreement that ultimately went in favour of the veteran actress. At the centre of the debate was the multicoloured tasselled Dries Van Noten jacket.

During the discussion, Molly Rogers revealed that the striking designer jacket almost did not make it to the final cut of the film, reported Page Six. Initially, members of the costume team were uncertain about the bold fashion choice, questioning whether the vibrant designer piece aligned with Miranda Priestly’s polished and authoritative style. However, Meryl Streep immediately saw its potential and strongly advocated for its inclusion.
According to Molly Rogers, Meryl Streep’s reaction to the jacket was instant and decisive. The Oscar-winning actress recognised something special in the garment’s dramatic structure, unique detailing, and commanding presence. Confident that the piece perfectly captured Miranda’s evolving character, Streep pushed back against hesitation from the creative team.

Her persistence ultimately paid off, with the jacket securing its place as part of Miranda Priestly’s wardrobe in the sequel. The fashion moment has since become one of the film’s standout style highlights, further cementing The Devil Wears Prada franchise’s reputation for iconic costume design.
Molly Rogers’ revelation offered fans a fascinating glimpse into the collaborative process behind one of cinema’s most celebrated fashion-forward films, while also underscoring Streep’s deep understanding of her character’s visual identity. Once again, Miranda Priestly’s wardrobe proved that every detail matters in the world of high fashion.
Set in a modern, digital-focused media landscape, The Devil Wears Prada 2 marks Andy’s return to help save a failing Runway magazine, facing off against former co-worker Emily, who now holds power as a luxury brand executive.
