Two decades after The Devil Wears Prada defined fashion on screen, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has officially arrived in theaters, bringing the world of Runway back into the spotlight. The long-awaited sequel reunites key stars and introduces a new generation of characters, offering a fresh take on the fashion industry in a modern era.

Original power players Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are back, joined by newcomers including Lucy Liu, Simone Ashley, and Kenneth Branagh, blending familiar faces with new talent.

Here’s a guide to every star confirmed (and rumored) to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly

Streep reprises her Oscar-nominated role as the icy, commanding editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, one of cinema’s most unforgettable characters.
