The Devil Returns in Prada: Sequel to iconic flick now in production
20th Century Studios made it official with a post that was as iconic as the film's original heel-clicking entrance. A teaser video—featuring that unforgettable red pointed stiletto—dropped online with the caption, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in Production.' Add in some vintage Miranda Priestly dialogue and voilà, social media exploded like it was Fashion Week in Paris.
Filming kicks off this week, with the cast and crew trading New York's skyline for the elegance of Italy. Expect the return of Meryl Streep as the imperious editor-in-chief Miranda, Anne Hathaway as Andy (hopefully with better coffee-ordering skills), Emily Blunt as the biting Emily, and Stanley Tucci bringing back his trademark flair. And yes, award-winning actor Kenneth Branagh joins the ensemble—rumoured to play Miranda's long-suffering husband.
The storyline reportedly picks up with Miranda navigating a digital-era publishing crisis. Runway's glossy pages are losing their shine, and her former assistant Andy, now a bigwig at a luxury brand conglomerate, may be the only one who can help—or hinder. Expect fashion face-offs, boardroom battles and drama delivered with icy precision.

Colour and ease lift Paris Men's Fashion Week
Colours ran wild and silhouettes softened at Paris Men's Fashion Week, which ends Sunday, as designers brought a rare breath of fresh air to a gloomy fashion climate. Despite the heavy news cycle and economic turbulence affecting the luxury sector, this Fashion Week was a "shot of creativity that felt incredibly good", Alice Feillard, men's buying director at Galeries Lafayette, told AFP. The spring-summer 2026 season "is much more creative than the previous ones, which were a bit duller", said Adrien Communier, the fashion editor at GQ France. Both experts observed a more relaxed vibe, with Feillard pointing to "good humour" and "optimism", while Communier noted a "lighter mood". "With so many debuts, there was a sense of renewal. And so, I found that people were more curious," he added. After a notable women's show in March, Julian Klausner made waves Thursday with his first menswear show for Dries Van Noten, while Jonathan Anderson's long-awaited debut at Dior drew applause on Friday. A renewed burst of creativity lit up the runways, most visibly through bold colour choices. Brown tones and pastels made way for a richer, more saturated palette for next summer. Saint Laurent opened the week with violet, navy, orange and moss green, while Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton channelled Indian motifs and hues. Dries Van Noten made a splash with bold fuchsia and blood red, while Kenzo exploded with candy pink, aquatic blue and chick yellow. - 'nonchalant elegance' - Dior Homme took a more restrained approach, showcasing rich tones like a deep forest green on structured pieces. The tones sometimes appeared as prints -- tiger at Kenzo, childlike safari at Louis Vuitton and floral at Dior. At Comme des Garcons Plus, prints leaned into pop-style 1970s geometry -- a look also seen at Amiri, Saint Laurent and Junya Watanabe, who embraced flared trousers. Stripes were ubiquitous but subtle, adding detail without overwhelming. Designers leaned into fluidity with flared trousers, long jackets, open shirts and an ongoing pyjama trend. "There's a sort of nonchalant elegance in having a very fluid yet thoughtfully designed silhouette," Communier said. Last season's neo-dandy look is now much more relaxed. "Tailoring is still omnipresent in the collections, but it's becoming more fluid. There's still formality, but it's far more relaxed and remains very elegant," said Feillard. Bags were omnipresent, from clutch to shoulder, styled for both casual outings and evening occasions. Finally, flip-flops made a major comeback, seen at Officine Generale, Auralee and even Hermes, "worn in an almost formal way", said Communier. A perfect example of relaxed chic. —AFP

The Devil Returns in Prada: Sequel to iconic flick now in production
Muscat – Fashionistas, brace yourselves—Miranda Priestly is back, and the stilettos are sharper than ever. Nearly two decades after The Devil Wears Prada first sashayed into cinemas, the sequel has finally been confirmed, sending fans into a frenzy louder than a Runway staff meeting. 20th Century Studios made it official with a post that was as iconic as the film's original heel-clicking entrance. A teaser video—featuring that unforgettable red pointed stiletto—dropped online with the caption, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in Production.'

Pharrell kicks off Paris Fashion week with Louvre show
Louis Vuitton artistic director Pharrell Williams kicked off Paris Men's Fashion Week on Tuesday with a VIP-studded event at the Louvre museum. French NBA basketball star Victor Wembanyama was given the spot of honour next to Vuitton owner and luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault in a front row also featuring actors Bradley Cooper and Omar Sy. Arnault, one of the world's richest men, dashed home after attending the inauguration of Donald Trump in Washington on Monday where he was placed prominently behind outgoing president Joe Biden. Pharrell's fifth collection for Louis Vuitton saw models walk a circular runway in the rear courtyard of the Louvre, continuing the US hip hop artist and singer's habit of using Paris landmarks as a backdrop for his clothes. The Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 collection featured on-trend browns and tweeds heavily, as well as flashes of bubble-gum pink. Baseball jackets were mixed up with long shorts and trench coats in designs that Pharrell worked on in collaboration with fellow designer Nigo, the artistic director at Kenzo. For his debut Louis Vuitton show in 2023, Pharrell turned the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in the capital, into a giant runway, even painting its paving stones gold. A historic theme park, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, hosted his show last January while in June he sent models down a lawn catwalk built on the rooftop of the modernist headquarters of UN agency Unesco. Workwear The opening day of Men's Fashion Week, which runs until Sunday, also featured an afternoon show by Japanese brand Auralee, as well as an unusual mixed martial arts-themed event by mystery French label Coucou Bebe 75018. 'It's intended to be performance art,' the self-taught designer behind the brand, who goes by the name Kanoush, said about the show in a mock fighting ring. Always photographed with his face hidden, Kanoush also refuses to reveal his identity. Coucou Bebe 75018 -- which is a combination of a greeting used by the postcode of Kanoush's Pigalle area in northern Paris -- has earned a growing following thanks to its collage-laden jackets with references to French politics. Ahead of Fashion Week, experts had said that the aesthetic dominance of streetwear was fading, with designers increasingly focused on 'casual tailoring', emphasising suits and structured pieces with a relaxed twist. A major trend from the Spring-Summer 2025 collections was dubbed 'workwear', featuring trench coats, Barbour-style jackets, duffle coats and loafers. 'There's a classic, slightly dandy but chic, elegant, and casual silhouette emerging,' Alice Feillard, men's buying director at luxury Paris emporium Galeries Lafayette, said. Browns have dominated for two seasons, and insiders expect them to remain among the key shades at the end of the year. A number of top labels are luring new designers or looking for fresh inspiration in the increasingly tough luxury market. Lanvin is set to return after a two-year hiatus, presenting Peter Copping's debut collection as the artistic director of France's oldest couture house. After completing his first show in September, Valentino's new artistic director, Alessandro Michele, will return for haute couture week, which follows immediately after the menswear week. One of the most anticipated shows will be on Sunday by in-vogue French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, whose Jacquemus brand is making its return to the official calendar after a five-year absence. Notably absences include Givenchy, whose new chief designer Sarah Burton has reserved her first collection for the women's Fashion Week in March, as well as Loewe, whose artistic director Jonathan Anderson is rumoured to be on the way out. Hedi Slimane left his role as artistic director at Celine in October, John Galliano quit Maison Margiela in December, and Chanel unveiled their new creative director, Matthieu Blazy, only a month ago. —AFP
