'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Everything We Know - And All Of Anne Hathaway's Outfits So Far
Best break out your favorite cerulean sweater—because The Devil Wears Prada is back. After leading ladies Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt enjoyed an onstage reunion at last year's SAG Awards, fans couldn't help but hope that a follow-up movie might be on the horizon. Now, it's finally happening: After almost 20 years, Disney is giving us a The Devil Wears Prada sequel. Ahead, everything we know about the upcoming film so far. Variety reports that the movie will follow Streep's character, editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, as she 'navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.' It's not yet obvious where Hathaway's character, Andy Sachs, will fit into this story—but, rest assured, she'll be there. The main stars will reprise their roles for the sequel, including Hathaway (Andy Sachs), Streep (Miranda Priestly), Blunt (Emily Charlton), and even Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling).Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman will also return as Lily and Irv Ravitz, respectively. Newcomers will include Kenneth Branagh (as Miranda's husband), as well as Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Conrad Ricamora, Helen J. Shen, and Caleb Hearon, per Deadline and Variety. Colin from Accounts star Patrick Brammal will be joining as Andy's new love interest, Entertainment Weekly reports. Director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, who worked on the original film, are also returning for the sequel, alongside producer Karen Rosenfelt. As for whom else fans might like to see in the follow-up, Nicholas Galitzine, who stars alongside Hathaway in The Idea of You, recently told ELLE that he'd love to work with Streep and Blunt someday. He added that, should there ever be a sequel, he would want to be a part of it. 'Listen, if Annie's down for it, if they want to do a sequel of The Devil Wears Prada, I'll be someone,' the actor said in our 2024 Hollywood Rising issue. 'I'll be the assistant who runs and gets coffee for everyone.' There haven't been any reports of Galitzine making a cameo in the movie (yet), but a boy can dream. According to an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy's boyfriend, Nate, will not be returning for the sequel. The sequel will be released on May 1, 2026, according to Variety. It sure has. On June 30, 2025, 20th Century Studios took to social media to announce that the sequel was officially in production. Then, on July 21, Hathaway shared a cheeky filming update via TikTok. Posting a video of herself brushing her teeth (and wearing—what else?—a cerulean sweater), she captioned the clip, 'Heading to werk #dwp2.' Yes! On July 21, Hathaway also shared a TikTok video of her in character wearing a Gabriela Hearst Spring-Summer 2025 colorful patchwork maxi dress. In an Instagram post, Hathaway showed off another one of Andy's looks, a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pinstripe suit vest and matching trousers. Then, she was seen in a Toteme tank top, AGOLDE denim maxi skirt, and Chanel Velcro sandals. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Adrian Grenier Won't Return for 'Devil Wears Prada' Sequel—and This Is Who's Taking His Place
THE RUNDOWN It looks like the real villain of The Devil Wears Prada won't be returning for its sequel. According to an Entertainment Weekly exclusive, Adrian Grenier, who played Andy's tepid boyfriend Nate Cooper, will not be returning for the upcoming film. In a previous EW interview, Grenier spoke about his controversial character. 'When that whole thing [about Nate being the 'real villain' of the film] first came out, I couldn't get my head around it,' he said. 'I didn't understand it. Perhaps it was because I wasn't mature as a man, just as Nate probably could've used a little growing up. I was just as immature as him at the time, so I couldn't see his shortcomings, but, after taking time to reflect and much deliberation online, I can realize the truth in that perspective.' He then went on to say that Nate couldn't fully support Andy and her budding fashion career because 'he was a fragile, wounded boy…. on behalf of all the Nates out there: Come on! Step it up!' On July 21, Entertainment Weekly reported that Andy will have a new love interest: the Australian actor Patrick Brammall (Colin from Accounts). Variety reported that the new film, which is set to release on May 1, 2026, will follow Meryl Streep's character, editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, as she 'navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against [Emily] Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs.' In addition to Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt, Stanley Tucci will also be in the sequel, along with new addition Kenneth Branagh. Production began on Monday.

IOB Q1 net profit surges 75.57% on higher income
State-run lender Indian Overseas Bank's (IOB) first quarter net profit increased 75.57% to ₹1,111 crore from ₹633 crore in the same period last year. 'The growth in net profit was driven by various factors including growth in net interest income, other income,' IOB's Managing Director and CEO Ajay Kumar Srivastava told reporters. The bank's net interest income grew 12.50% to ₹2,746 crore, while other income increased 43.36% to ₹1,481 crore in the first quarter of 2025-2026. Impacted by the repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the bank's net interest margin (NIM) declined 2 basis points to 3.04% in the three months ended June 2025 from 3.06% in the comparable period last year. NIMs will normalise by the third or fourth quarter, Mr. Srivastava said. IOB's total deposits grew by 10.75% to ₹3,30,792 crore, while gross advances increased by 14.05% to ₹2,62,421 crore. The bank was able to maintain its Current Accounts and Savings Accounts (CASA) at 43.78% of total deposits, Mr. Srivastava said. IOB's retail, agri and MSME loan book grew 24.69% to ₹1,92,597 crore, accounting for 78.92% of its total advances. Mr. Srivastava said the credit demand from corporates have been subdued and the trend is expected to continue. The bank's net NPA stood at 0.32%, while gross NPA stood at 1.97% as on June 30, 2025. He also said the bank would raise ₹4,000 crore in the third or fourth quarter through various means, including Qualified Institutional Placement. This would reduce the Government of India's stake in the bank by 4% from 94%. The bank is also looking to raise ₹10,000 crore through infrastructure bonds, Mr. Srivastava said.

JEFF PRESTRIDGE: Reeves has U-turned on plans to slash the cash Isa allowance (for now at least) - this is what I fear she'll do next
With every day and night of her Chancellorship that goes by, Rachel from Accounts is transmogrifying into U-turn Rachel. And after politically embarrassing turnarounds on cuts to both the winter fuel payment and out-of-control disability benefits, U-turn Rachel is at it again.

How to deal with a crying woman
A woman crying elicits sympathy – even if, à la Rachel from Accounts, she is some kind of nightmare soap-opera figure from the suburbs of south London. When a woman we do not know bursts into tears in public our gut reaction is to assume she must have a good reason for doing so. She has, until proven otherwise, right on her side. And even if she does not, it does not usually matter. She may be wrong in terms of the rational truth, but she is right instinctively. Otherwise she would not have cried – would she? Let us be clear: women often cry, men rarely do. I speak from experience. I live with an Italian wife and our three disco-age daughters. We have three boys as well, but there is no doubt that it is the four femmine who rule the roost in Casa Farrell. The weapons they deploy to maintain ground and air supremacy include fever-pitch shouting – which might, come to think of it, have more to do with their being Italian than being women – and crying, which, I must say, does sometimes seem manufactured rather than genuine. I try to shout back, but decades of smoking and drinking to excess make it difficult except in short bursts – which they ruthlessly shoot to pieces. The boys, of course, back the women – though the eldest, Francesco Winston, 19, is beginning to show signs that perhaps Papà is not wrong about everything. As for crying, I cannot remember when sadness last caused me tears. I did not even cry at my mother's funeral – after I had come back from Italy in 1982, aged 23, to live with her for a year as she slowly died at 50. I am proud that I was with her, but feel a failure nonetheless because her death did not make me cry. Indeed, I envy those who can cry. Occasionally I do shed tears of… what? Love? Joy? For instance, when I watch our middle daughter, Magdalena, 17, playing her viola in the orchestra at her music school. In the case of Rachel Reeves, we may eventually find out why she cried during Prime Minister's Questions – whether due to what her office described as 'a personal matter', which she refuses to explain, or as the result of a breaking-point row involving her and Starmer and their disastrous government. But as a friend who is an Old Bailey judge told me on the phone: 'People in certain positions, regardless of their sex, cannot be allowed to burst into tears. Imagine if I did that in open court in my wig and gown.' The Chancellor's tears will harm, not help, her. But for women in general – especially in private – it is different. Female tears, whether fake or genuine, can have the persuasive force of a punch. I try to avoid provoking them. But this often means accepting defeat. Earlier this week, there was a classic example chez nous when I foolishly tried to get Caterina to move the contents of her wardrobe off the floor and back into the wardrobe. Amazingly, she agreed – which I took as a good omen – and I offered to give her a hand. I had a fleeting vision of father and daughter, a team, working together to sort out a problem. But whereas she just wanted to chuck the lot into the wardrobe willy-nilly, I wanted a more structured solution. We rowed, I called her a 'cretina', and she burst into tears and stomped off into the garden in the direction of the donkey. I remember her eyes as she looked into mine with – what was the emotion? Love? Hate? Calculation? – for what seemed like a full second before the tears began. It is times like this when I feel: 'Yes, it really is true, I am a total shit.' We did not speak for a day or so. In the end, I sent her a WhatsApp message saying: 'I'm sorry I shouted at you. Please forgive me.' She accepted my apology. Obviously, no one had taken my side – except Francesco Winston, but only in private. He told me: 'She's such a manipulatrice! Is she offended you called her a cretina? Forget it!' I was right in one straightforward sense but wrong overall – because otherwise she would not have burst into tears, would she? Men cannot win in these situations when they are the ones whose words or behaviour cause a woman to cry. The best strategy is to recognise potentially tear-inducing issues and avoid driving them to boiling point. Failing that, the only remedy is a no-holds-barred 'I am sorry' apology – even if that is not what you feel – not an 'I am sorry if' one. You can always refuse to concede any error on your part and sit it out. Like a real man! But is that what real men do? There are times, though, when men really must stand up to women who cry. Years ago, I was on a paper with a young woman who would later become famous. She went off to the Third World to speak to workers paid a pittance to make ethnically sound beauty products for a famous global brand. When she came back, everyone said what a fantastic story she had got. In truth, it was obvious that – this being the Third World – the local wage rate was bound to be a pittance. So what was the big deal? I told her so in the newsroom. She burst into tears. Everyone thought I was a nasty, envious little shit. I apologised. But I wish I had not. I regret it to this day. How many times have male colleagues said similar or worse things to me about one of my stories? And if I had burst into tears, what would their reaction have been? But then again, I cannot even burst into tears – even if I want to.
