'The Devil Wears Prada 2' brings back these 5 iconic fashion trends

It’s impossible to talk about iconic fashion moments without bringing up the 2006 cinematic masterpiece, The Devil Wears Prada. Miranda, Andy, and Emily didn't just give us a treasure trove of savage one-liners. They totally defined an entire era of style. We're talking sky-high stilettos, razor-sharp tailoring, and accessories that practically screamed, "I work in fashion, step aside."

Well, hold onto your designer handbags. The highly anticipated sequel is finally happening. Between early set photos leaking and teaser clips slowly hitting the internet, fans are getting a sneak peek at the new Runway magazine wardrobe. And honestly? It looks incredible. If these early glimpses are anything to go by, the movie is about to bring some major throwback trends right back into the spotlight.

Based on a recent trend breakdown by Who What Wear, here are five nostalgic fashion statements The Devil Wears Prada 2 is about to make viral all over again.

Remember when ties were just for stuffy corporate boardrooms? Not anymore. One of the coolest styling details spotted in the fresh set photos is the necktie. Both Andy and Emily seem to be embracing this tailored accessory in updated, modern ways. It makes total sense. Ties have been quietly creeping back onto the runways and into street style recently. Seeing them on the Prada set feels like a subtle, brilliant nod to the high-stakes, editorial energy of the original movie.

Let’s think about Andy Sachs for a second. With her humble, serious-journalism roots, what kind of bag would she carry today? A vintage-inspired briefcase bag, of course. Moving away from the giant, bottomless totes we usually see, the sequel’s set photos strongly suggest Andy is leaning into structured briefcases. It’s practical, it’s chic, and suddenly, it makes you want to ditch your everyday work bag for something with a little more structure.

This one caused an immediate stir. The new teaser trailer opens with a very deliberate, confident walk in a pair of Valentino Rockstud heels. Yes, you read that right. The absolute chokehold shoe of the 2010s is officially making a comeback. Fashion eagle-eyes clocked the studded heels instantly. The moment the clip dropped, it seemed like everyone was suddenly rushing to add a pair of these nostalgic beauties back into their online shopping carts.

During the original film's run, statement belts were everywhere. You threw them over dresses, bulky coats, or long tops to cinch the waist. It turns out Miranda Priestly never really let go of hers. The oversized belt makes an appearance in the new trailer, but it's styled with a fresh, modern twist. It’s bold, it commands attention, and it’s definitely time to go digging through the back of your closet to find yours.

If there is one ultimate power move synonymous with the ice queen Miranda Priestly, it’s wearing massive sunglasses indoors. It was never really about blocking the sun, was it? It was pure, unadulterated attitude. Early glimpses of the sequel confirm that her oversize sunnies are returning to add instant drama to any room she walks into.

Bottom line? Fashion history tells us one thing for sure: if a trend gets a Miranda-inspired moment on screen, it doesn't stay on the screen for very long. It takes over the real world. Get ready for 2006 all over again!
