The Devil Wears Prada returns to London for the European premiere. 👠📸

Power dressing took centre stage. The stars returned to London on April 22 for the premiere of the much-anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. Leicester Square was buzzing with anticipation as fans and flashing cameras lined the barriers, eager to catch a glimpse of the A-list icons and, of course, the clothes.

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway stepped back into the spotlight, reprising their roles, joined by Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt. Their reunion on the red carpet drew some of the loudest reactions of the night, reminding us that the 2006 film helped define modern fashion culture.

Joining them, fashion icon Donatella Versace brought the industry’s legacy to the carpet, reinforcing the premiere’s place within the high fashion space. Rounding out the lineup, rising star Simone Ashley and internet personality Amelia Dimoldenberg brought a fresh energy to the evening.

Naturally, the fashion did not disappoint. Streep leaned fully into Miranda Priestly, dressed head-to-toe in Prada, complete with a striking red coat, while Hathaway stunned in a tuxedo-inspired Versace gown, a subtle evolution from the character audiences first met in the original film. Blunt followed in a custom Balenciaga look in the same iconic red, complemented by Tucci in an impeccably tailored Paul Smith suit.

Structured silhouettes and monochrome statements dominated the carpet, subtly evoking the film’s legacy while still feeling modern. The fashion brief was clear: sharp power dressing, defined by a refined, contemporary edge.

The message was just as clear nearly two decades on, The Devil Wears Prada still knows exactly how to set the tone.
