The first part of the Devil Wears Prada movie was released in 2006. It is based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel of the same name. All Over Press
The costuming of the film plays a central role in both the original and the sequel. And one iconic piece of clothing, which is seen on various main characters in the film, reflects hierarchy, transformation and the image of time at the same time: the power blazer.
Meryl Streep plays the editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion magazine Runway in both films. Both films were directed by David Frankel. All Over Press
The costumes were already consciously symbolic in the first part, and jackets in particular functioned as a powerful visual language in both films. When The devil wears Prada appeared in 2006, there was a jacket in it more than a garment, it was also a certain kind of armor for the film’s characters.
The first film was costumed by award-winning costume designer Patricia Field, who also received an Oscar nomination for the film. Molly Rogers, who is Field’s long-time collaborator and protégé, is in charge of the costumes for the now-released sequel. All Over Press
Sharp, sharply cut power blazer immediately told who was leading in the room – and who was still learning to keep up. The film’s costumes made visible the authoritative rules of working life in the early 2000s and the hierarchical, demanding and often merciless working world.

The perfectly fitting jackets of Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of the fictional Runway fashion magazine played by Meryl Streep, were symbols of power at their purest. Also, the stylistic transformation seen in the film of Andrea “Andy” Sachs, a reporter starting her career, played by Anne Hathaway, largely went through different lines of communication.
Also in the sequel, both main characters will be seen in several jacket looks. All Over Press
Twenty years later, in 2026 The Devil Wears Prada 2 tells of a different time and it is also reflected in the episodes seen in the sequel.
The power blazer is still in the spotlight, but its meaning and style have changed. The jackets of the second part no longer have the same armor-like hardness, the silhouettes are softer and the fit more relaxed.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 movie shows how the power blazer has in a way grown up with the 20-year evolution of its characters. All Over Press
Thus, the iconic power blazer of both films also reflects the working life of different eras and the changes seen in them in this time.
In addition to New York, the film was shot in Milan and Lake Como, Italy. Actress Simone Ashley will be seen in the film as the new first assistant of Miranda Priestly’s character Amari. All Over Press
