It’s been 20 years since The Devil Wears Prada first hit movie theaters and solidified itself as an aughties classic with its sharp script, iconic performances, and unforgettable costumes. Now, it’s almost time to strut back into the Runway office for a high-fashion follow-up two decades in the making.
The official trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 dropped online Sunday (February 1), giving fans a sneak peek into the world of Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), and the OG Runway gang in the 2020s.
The trailer sees Andy return to Runway to work alongside Miranda and Nigel (Stanley Tucci), even though the infamously icy editor-in-chief appears to barely remember her former star assistant. With Madonna’s “Vogue” pumping in the background, the trailer doesn’t reveal too much, but glimpses of the opulent Met Gala, Andy breezily returning to New York City, and fan-favorite character reunions punctuated by snappy quips prove promising amid a theatrical landscape littered with tired sequels, reboots, revivals, etc.
All this is to say: This longtime fan’s hopes are optimistically high. Watch the trailer below:

While the newly released trailer doesn’t spill much about the sequel’s story, we do know some details about the plot already.
