The Best (& Worst) Looks From The Devil Wears Prada 2 Press Tour

Expectations were high for the outfits on "The Devil Wears Prada 2" press tour. The return of the Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep-led franchise had fashionistas around the world waiting with baited breath to see what the stars would wear. And "The Devil Wears Prada"'s leading ladies (who side by side pics prove are aging like fine wine) didn't disappoint. Mostly.

The female cast (which also includes Emily Blunt, Simone Ashley, and Lucy Liu) certainly pulled out all the stops in the fashion stakes, with their stylists working overtime to ensure they made a statement on the red carpet. "I've poured my heart into every look," Streep's stylist Micaela Erlanger told British Vogue. Hathaway's stylist Erin Walsh also acknowledged the immense pressure, telling British Vogue, "I'm aware of the eyeballs on it. I feel like I've been training my whole life to do this." But while some looks on the high-fashion promo tour have been showstoppers that will go down in history, others haven't fared quite so well.

At the London "A Night with Runway" Gala Reception, Meryl Streep gave us major Miranda Priestly vibes, yet the garment still felt true to her own style. She ensured all eyes were on her in her bold, navy, sequin coat from Richard Quinn that gave the drama this press tour demanded. Adding sunglasses (even though it was dark) gave extra diva vibes, and sticking with simple sheer black tights and understated black heels helped keep the focus on the statement piece. "This is gorgeous! Perfection," one Instagram user wrote.

Though Emily Blunt got points for taking a major risk in her Schiaparelli gown, it missed the mark. In strategically lit, warm filtered Instagram photos, her big New York premiere gown looked gorgeous. In the harsher natural sunlight though, it was harder to see the details and the beige skirt looked dirty and bland. Moreover, the busy gown overwhelmed her frame. Removing the flower design over her chest and adding a simpler necklace would have created a more timeless look, while the strings of pearls also dated the design.

Anne Hathaway stunned at the world premiere in a structured Louis Vuitton short ballgown that was tailored to perfection. Not only did the shade perfectly assimilate with the movie's official color, it complimented Hathaway's fair skin too. Hathaway's stylist wisely didn't overwhelm the garment with statement jewelry, yet her gold fan earrings still added fun and whimsy to the look to avoid a stuffy, overly serious aesthetic — fashion is supposed to be fun, after all! She also avoided spring 2026's outdated shoe trends in her chunky platform heels.

Simone Ashley's white t-shirt and orange peplum skirt pairing for a London photocall needed better execution. She was clearly aiming for a more casual, comfortable vibe, but the classic white tee was too baggy to tuck in. The skirt also needed to be pulled up and have tighter elastic for a cleaner silhouette to mirror the way designer Jil Sander executed the look on the runway. "Thanks God her face card is lethal but it's the first time I don't like the outfit," one Instagram user wrote of the underwhelming attire.

At the European premiere, Emily Blunt left our jaws on the floor in her Balenciaga monochrome red top and tailored pants. The shade perfectly fit the movie's aesthetic and the clean lines made this pairing feel timeless, yet the slightly pointed top also gave it a modern feel. The high-low top with a long train added the necessary drama required for such a fashion-forward event, while the large individual pearl jewelry marked a glamorous way to put a modern twist on a classic accessory style.

Meryl Streep made a fashion faux pas at the European premiere in her billowy, red Prada coat. Though the white shirt, classic black pants, and red heels worked, the outerwear wasn't fitted enough. It repeatedly appeared to get caught in the wind on the London red carpet, which pushed the sides out and created an unflattering silhouette. Instead, we'd have swapped the oversized number for a heavier, red trench that would have held its shape.

Anne Hathaway put a fun twist on formal dressing for the European premiere in her Atelier Versace strapless dress that combined masculine and feminine aesthetics. The black-tie gown had buttons and a lapel like a tux, but the structure (and sparkle) of a classic red carpet gown, pushing the boundaries of fashion. The sheer panels each side of her torso kept the look sophisticated but flirty, and the incredibly glamorous 'fit was tailored to a tee for a look that would get Andy Sachs' stamp of approval.

While promoting "The Devil Wears Prada 2" in Shanghai, Anne Hathaway's fluffy and fussy Susan Fang dress felt out of step with the edgy yet chic outfits from the rest of the press tour. The pastel shades washed the actor out and the textured material didn't flatter her figure. It gave princess prom dress vibes instead of a high-fashion international press tour aesthetic and would have been better saved for promoting the upcoming "The Princess Diaries 3."
