Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are reuniting for promotional events surrounding the upcoming sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” according to multiple verified sources. The trio, who starred in the 2006 original film, are set to appear together at the 98th Academy Awards on March 15, 2026, where they will present an award and tease the highly anticipated follow-up.
Their reunion at the Oscars marks nearly two decades since the original film’s release and comes as “The Devil Wears Prada 2” prepares for its theatrical debut on May 1, 2026. This was confirmed by industry reports citing insider information from People magazine, which noted that Hathaway has already been confirmed as a presenter for the ceremony.
The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, followed Andy Sachs (Hathaway), a recent college graduate who lands a job as an assistant to the formidable Miranda Priestly (Streep), editor-in-chief of the high-fashion magazine Runway. Emily Charlton, played by Blunt, served as Priestly’s sharp-tongued first assistant, whose iconic line “By all means, move at a glacial pace” became a cultural touchstone.
At the 2024 SAG Awards, Streep, Hathaway and Blunt previously reunited to present an award, where they reprised their characters in a lighthearted skit that delighted fans. During that appearance, Streep fumbled with the microphone before Blunt and Hathaway handed her glasses and the envelope, prompting the now-familiar exchange about the glacial pace of fashion.
The sequel will see Streep reprise her role as Miranda Priestly, with Hathaway returning as Andy Sachs and Blunt as Emily Charlton. Stanley Tucci is also expected to return as Nigel, the art director who provided both fashion expertise and emotional support to Andy in the original film.
According to reports from HOLA! USA, the Oscars reunion is being planned as a “memorable” moment that will add “a dose of high-fashion nostalgia” to the ceremony. The appearance is designed to serve as a runway-style teaser for the sequel, which arrives in theaters just weeks after the awards display.
The 2006 original was both a critical and commercial success, grossing over $326 million worldwide against a $35 million budget. Streep’s performance earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, while the film was also nominated for Best Costume Design.
While plot details for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” remain under wraps, the return of the core creative team suggests continuity in tone and style. The original film was directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, though it has not been confirmed whether they will return for the sequel.
Fans of the franchise have long speculated about a follow-up, particularly given the enduring popularity of the original film on streaming platforms and its continued influence on fashion culture. The characters’ distinct styles — particularly Miranda’s polished, authority-driven wardrobe and Andy’s transformation from frumpy to fashionable — have been frequently referenced in media and retail.
As the marketing campaign for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” intensifies, the Oscars appearance represents one of the first major public reunions of the principal cast. It follows their 2024 SAG Awards reunion and precedes the film’s global theatrical rollout beginning May 1, 2026.
The sequel’s release positions it as a major spring 2026 tentpole release, arriving during a typically competitive window for studio films. Its connection to a beloved early-2000s comedy-drama places it alongside other legacy sequels seeking to capitalize on established intellectual property.
