London red carpet dazzles as Devil Wears Prada 2 premieres
London lights up for the European premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, with Streep, Hathaway, and Blunt delivering high-fashion glamour on the Leicester Square red carpet.
London rolled out the red carpet for the European premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in Leicester Square, kicking off a week of couture and cameras. The sequel brings back director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, inviting audiences back into the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Runway magazine. Fans squeezed into the square as the stars arrived, trade whispers of fashion history and cinematic nostalgia filling the air.
Meryl Streep led the ensemble, making a striking entrance in a red satin Prada coat layered over a silk blouse and tailored black trousers, completed with scarlet heels and her signature dark sunglasses. Emily Blunt followed as Emily Charlton, pairing a red strapless top with cigarette trousers and matching heels for a look that felt both sharp and modern. Anne Hathaway arrived in a corseted, strapless Versace gown, the sheer panel cut-outs and velvet skirt giving her a sculpted silhouette. Donatella Versace attended with a statement off-the-shoulder black gown, underscoring the film's high-fashion ties. The trio's red-carpet moments quickly became the talk of Leicester Square, with stylists and fashion editors buzzing about the fabric, tailoring, and accessory choices.
The premiere capped off a week of sartorial storytelling that included the New York debut, where Streep wore a vermilion Givenchy cape coat paired with black leather opera gloves and those Miranda Priestly sunglasses that have become part of pop-culture shorthand. The premiere in London continued that fashion-forward thread, drawing comparisons to the real-world fashion machinery that inspired the original film. Hathaway, reprising her role as Andy Sachs, carried the momentum with a gown that balanced corsetry and movement, while Streep's editor-in-chief aura remained intact, a reminder of the character's power even in the sequels' setup. Even Anna Wintour's lingering presence—real or imagined in fashion circles—was invoked as part of the night's glamour.
Beyond the gowns and glossy smiles, the film promises to dive back into the dynamics of workplace ambition and editorial drama. Fans are eager to see how the story expands on the original's sharp wit, while fashion watchers will be parsing every couture moment for clues about the film's tone and characters. For many, the London premiere was as much a celebration of fashion as it was of cinema, a reminder that style and storytelling continue to walk the red carpet together.
