'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.

'Overcompensating' is Prime Video's latest streaming sensation. The queer coming-of-age comedy is about wanting to be loved.
At first glance, Overcompensating, Prime Video's new coming-of-age comedy, may seem like a light, raunchy watch — but it's more than that. Created, written and produced by Benito Skinner, who's also the show's star, Overcompensating tells the tale of closeted college freshman Benny, who finds himself suppressing his gay identity to better fit in. As the eight-episode season progresses, it becomes clear that Benny isn't alone in his pursuit of acceptance. He, along with his sister, Grace (Mary Beth Barone), best friend, Carmen (Wally Baram), and her roommate, Hailey (Holmes), are all yearning for the same thing: to be loved for who they really are. 'All of these people are hurting and really want to be loved so badly,' Skinner told Elle for its Hollywood Rising issue. 'That's the whole point of the show — wanting to be loved so deeply and going about it in the totally wrong way. I don't think that's just a queer experience. I think that's everyone.' It's a simple yet honest sentiment, and it's one that appears to have resonated with Overcompensating's growing fanbase. Online, fans are sharing why Skinner's series has struck an emotional chord with them. 'I can't explain to you how seen I feel,' a creator named Sammy Talukder said in a video on TikTok. 'I feel so connected to that show. … It makes me so happy [that there's] actual queer representation and seeing what a lot of queer people deal with every single day. … I can't stop thinking about it.' Avery Herman, another TikTok user who felt similarly, wrote, 'Overcompensating is quite literally one of the best pieces of media I have seen in a long time. It is so funny but also feels so real??? I laugh out loud multiple times an episode. I'll be giddy one second and then have secondhand embarrassment the next.' On X, one fan declared, 'Overcompensating centering the love story between two best friends makes the entire series worth the watch. … Crying to the only person you feel comfortable coming out to? Cathartic.' Benny and Carmen's friendship is a focal point of the series. Carmen initially sees Benny as a romantic prospect but quickly comes to realize they're better off as friends. At the end of Episode 5, she realizes that Benny is gay, after seeing his gutted reaction to finding out his crush is straight. The episode's final scene, beloved by fans, shows Carmen and Benny approaching each other in the middle of the dance floor before falling into a tearful embrace. The moment has already received the TikTok treatment and has spawned video edits set to Charli xcx's viral track 'party 4 u' — a fitting choice, given that Charli also composed the show's original score. 'A beautiful, well-written, nostalgic show about figuring out who YOU are,' a TikTok user named BJ also said of the show. 'Thank you to Benito for creating such a beautiful reflection and inspiring me beyond.' Brandon, another X user, praised Skinner's series for depicting a group of college kids who are each ''overcompensating' for something,' showing that 'no matter who you are, we all can feel like we are falling short of what we should be.' For Skinner, overcompensating meant hiding behind a golden-boy facade. 'I think it was one of my first costumes in so many ways,' he said during an episode of CBC's Q with Tom Power. 'I'm going to be this version of a boy next door that it seems like everyone's cheering for, and they'll love me, and this costume will give me safety and social safety.' Overcompensating was quick to skyrocket to the top of Prime Video's ratings: As of May 22, it is the streamer's No. 1 show worldwide. With a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the college-set comedy has also been lauded by critics as a 'thoroughly charming show with a very sensitive soul' and 'one of the most promising comedies to hit television.' A second season has yet to be confirmed, though fans are hopeful that Skinner will get the opportunity to tell more of Benny's story. If ratings are any indication, the future of Overcompensating looks bright.
