Gird Your Loins: Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway Take Over Mexico City for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’
A sequel? For spring? Groundbreaking. The global promotional blitz for the most anticipated fashion sequel in history has officially landed in Latin America. The Devil Wears Prada 2 Mexico press stop saw icons Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reunite in stunning style, proving that nearly 20 years later, the “Runway” magic is more potent than ever.
The duo appeared at a high-profile fan event at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, greeting thousands of fans ahead of the film’s worldwide theatrical release on May 1, 2026. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, this stop is part of a massive worldwide tour that includes upcoming visits to Seoul and London.
A Legend Returns: The Plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2
The The Devil Wears Prada 2 Mexico press conference offered fresh details on the film’s high-stakes plot. Set in the modern, fractured world of digital media, the sequel finds Miranda Priestly (Streep) fighting to keep Runway magazine alive as traditional print faces a financial death spiral.
In a delicious twist of fate, Miranda is forced to go head-to-head with her former assistant, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), who is now a high-powered executive at a luxury group whose advertising dollars Miranda desperately needs. Andy Sachs (Hathaway) returns as a respected features editor who finds herself caught in the middle of the ultimate fashion world civil war.
Why Mexico City was the Perfect Kickoff
Mexico City has become a global hub for major film premieres, and the The Devil Wears Prada 2 Mexico press event capitalized on the region’s massive fashion-forward audience. As we noted in our Highest Grossing Movies 2026 Predictions, the sequel is tracking for a massive $100M+ opening weekend, rivaling even the biggest superhero blockbusters of the summer.
Fans at the event were treated to an exclusive look at the “Maybach Scene,” a collaboration with Mercedes-Benz that mirrors the iconic limo scenes from the first film. The chemistry between Streep and Hathaway remains the “gold standard” of Hollywood pairings, as they joked about “cerulean” being out of style in 2026.
