The Devil Wears Prada 2 cast

Twenty years after Andy Sachs dropped her phone in a Paris fountain, the whole gang’s back. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for May 1, 2026, with David Frankel directing again and Aline Brosh McKenna writing. Filming kicked off in New York in summer 2025, and the production took over Milan Fashion Week that September — Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci all shot scenes around the Dolce & Gabbana show, which is about the most on-brand thing a sequel could possibly do.

The reported plot: Miranda Priestly staring down the collapse of print magazines while Emily Charlton runs a luxury conglomerate holding the ad budget Miranda needs. The original cost $35 million and made over $325 million worldwide. This one’s loaded with new faces alongside the returning four.

Here’s the cast, with the body stats people keep searching for.

1. Anne Hathaway

Hathaway was 23 when she played Andy Sachs. She’s 43 now and back as the lead, and her on-set outfits became a daily paparazzi event throughout 2025 — which is exactly why she’s pulling 75,000 Wikipedia views in a three-day window.

She stands 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) and has typically been listed around 126 lbs (57 kg). Her most extreme body change came for Les Misérables in 2012, when she dropped about 25 lbs on a brutal restriction plan to play Fantine — a role that won her the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and one she’s since described as something she wouldn’t repeat.

2. Meryl Streep

Miranda Priestly earned Streep her 14th Oscar nomination. She’s 76 now and reprising the role that arguably became her most quoted performance ever.

Streep is 5 ft 6 in (168 cm). She’s never leaned on dramatic physical transformations, but she famously based Miranda’s quiet, never-raised voice on Clint Eastwood — the stillness did the intimidating.

3. Emily Blunt

Blunt was 22 and largely unknown when she played Emily Charlton. The role made her career. She’s now 42, an Oscar nominee for Oppenheimer, and her character reportedly holds all the leverage this time.

Blunt is 5 ft 7 in (170 cm) and generally listed around 126 lbs (57 kg). She’s talked openly about how the “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight” line landed differently in 2006 than it does now.

4. Stanley Tucci

Nigel’s back. Tucci, 65, is 5 ft 8 in (173 cm) and one of the few actors on this list who’s also a bestselling food writer.

In his 2021 memoir Taste, he detailed treatment for a tongue tumor in 2017 — high-dose radiation and chemo that left him fed through a stomach tube for six months. He lost a significant amount of weight and couldn’t eat normally for a long stretch after.

5. Kenneth Branagh

The Belfast-born actor-director, born December 10, 1960, joins as Miranda’s husband. He won his first Oscar in 2022 for writing Belfast after five nominations in five different categories.

Branagh is listed at about 5 ft 9 in (175 cm). He’s physically reshaped himself plenty — the prosthetic nose and padding for Hercule Poirot being the most obvious example.

6. Lucy Liu

Liu, born December 2, 1968, is one of the sequel’s biggest additions. She’s 5 ft 3 in (160 cm) and has usually been listed near 110 lbs (50 kg).

She’s trained in kali-eskrima stick fighting for years — the groundwork that made the Kill Bill O-Ren Ishii fight look as sharp as it did — and she’s a longtime rock climber and horse rider.

7. Simone Ashley

Ashley, born March 30, 1995, broke out as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton season two. She’s generally listed around 5 ft 7 in (170 cm).

For Bridgerton she learned horse riding from scratch and trained in Regency dance. She’s also spoken about struggling with disordered eating as a young actress and about refusing to shrink herself for roles.

8. Justin Theroux

Theroux, born August 10, 1971, is around 5 ft 9 in (175 cm) and has stayed famously lean into his fifties.

His physique became a running cultural joke during The Leftovers (2014–2017), where Kevin Garvey’s grey sweatpants got their own news cycle. He’s a committed boxer and gym regular and has kept the same build for well over a decade.

9. Pauline Chalamet

Born January 25, 1992, Chalamet starred as Kimberly Finkle across three seasons of The Sex Lives of College Girls. She’s listed at about 5 ft 7 in (170 cm).

She’s been notably blunt about body image in Hollywood, pushing back on the pressure to be smaller and posting unretouched photos of herself — a decent fit for a franchise built around size-two politics.

10. Rachel Bloom

Bloom, born April 3, 1987, created and starred in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, winning a Golden Globe in 2016 and an Emmy for the song “Antidepressants Are So Not a Big Deal.”

She’s listed around 5 ft 5 in (165 cm). Her show ran whole musical numbers about body hair, shapewear and the gap between how women look and how they’re told to look — so she knows this material cold.

Add B.J. Novak, Conrad Ricamora and Caleb Hearon to the roster and you’ve got a sequel stacked far deeper than the 2006 original. Whether it can recreate that lightning is another question — but on paper, this is one of the strongest ensembles heading into 2026.
