Met gala reimagined: *the devil wears prada* trailer sparks runway buzz

The latest trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 isn't just teasing a sequel; it’s staging a high-Fashion spectacle. A scene appears to meticulously recreate the Met Gala, complete with a star-studded procession up the steps of the American Museum of Natural History for Runway magazine’s “Spring Florals” gala. The visual echoes the real event, offering a playful, cinematic commentary on the world of high Fashion.

A tulle-heavy triumvirate: fashion icons collide

The trailer showcased a breathtaking array of looks. Ashley Graham and Alek Wek were draped in voluminous Christian Siriano creations, while Simone Ashley channeled vintage glamour in an archive Jean Paul Gaultier ensemble. But it was Meryl Streep’s appearance in an elaborate red ball gown that truly captured attention – a striking resemblance to the Valentino spring 2025 couture dress worn by Anne Hathaway at a recent Bvlgari gala in Milan. It seems Streep might have been taking notes.

Hathaway, attending the Bvlgari Eclettica gala, added her own sparkle. She sported Bvlgari’s Secret Garden necklace, a dazzling piece featuring a 26.65-carat padparadscha sapphire sourced from Sri Lanka. The necklace, part of the jeweler’s new 160-piece collection, was a statement in itself, a calculated touch of opulence.

The guest list was equally impressive, featuring ambassadors Dua Lipa in Balmain and Priyanka Chopra in Saiid Kobeisy couture, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Nick Jonas, Liu Yifei, and Kim Ji-won. The meticulously crafted scene in the trailer isn’t just a stylistic nod; it’s a sharp commentary on the industry’s relentless pursuit of spectacle and the enduring power of iconic Fashion moments. The film, set to release later this year, promises more than just nostalgia – it promises a keen-eyed dissection of the Fashion world’s inner workings.
