Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reunited in Milan to film The Devil Wears Prada 2, delighting fans with their playful chemistry on set, while Meryl Streep’s secret meeting with Anna Wintour sparked speculation about the film’s deeper ties to real-life fashion power — a glamorous comeback charged with nostalgia and intrigue.

Milan’s cobblestone streets turned into a movie set — and a runway of nostalgia — on Monday as Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reunited to film The Devil Wears Prada 2, nearly two decades after the original became a cultural phenomenon.

The two actresses, known for their electric chemistry as the ambitious Andy Sachs and the snarky assistant Emily Charlton, were seen laughing and joking between takes, a sight that instantly reignited fan excitement across the globe.

Filming took place in Milan’s historic Brera district, the heart of Italy’s fashion capital, where onlookers watched as the pair strutted through narrow alleys in couture looks that would make Miranda Priestly proud.

Hathaway, 42, was spotted wearing a sleek cream trench coat over a black satin dress paired with oversized sunglasses, while Blunt, 41, stunned in a tailored crimson pantsuit — both outfits rumored to be custom pieces designed by Prada itself.

According to sources close to the production, the scene captured on Monday involves the two former assistants reuniting after years apart at a high-end fashion gala, with tensions, wit, and glamour all colliding under the flash of paparazzi cameras.

Between takes, Hathaway and Blunt appeared anything but tense — they burst into laughter several times, with Hathaway jokingly mimicking a dramatic runway walk and Blunt pretending to take fashion notes on her phone.

“Working with Emily again feels like slipping into the most fabulous pair of heels — familiar, empowering, and just the right amount of pain,” Hathaway reportedly quipped during a break.

Blunt added, “It’s surreal.

We never thought we’d revisit these characters, but once we read the script, we both said, ‘We’re in.’”

The film, directed by original filmmaker David Frankel, began shooting in September during Milan Fashion Week — a strategic move that blurred the line between fiction and real-life fashion chaos.

During that time, eagle-eyed fans spotted Meryl Streep, the formidable Miranda Priestly herself, dining with Vogue’s real-life editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the Four Seasons Milan.

The sighting immediately sent social media into a frenzy, with fans speculating that the sequel’s plot might mirror Wintour’s real-life influence over the fashion world more closely than ever.

Insiders have teased that the sequel will explore “the collision between traditional fashion media and the digital influencer era,” with Priestly struggling to maintain her dominance in a new, ruthless landscape.

Hathaway’s Andy Sachs is rumored to have become a powerful fashion editor herself, while Blunt’s Emily is said to run her own luxury branding agency in London.

“The new film isn’t just about clothes,” one insider shared.

“It’s about power, reinvention, and how women navigate ambition in a world that’s constantly trying to redefine them.

But don’t worry — it’s still wickedly funny.”

Filming will continue across several European cities, including Paris and London, before wrapping in early 2025.

The cast reportedly includes a few new faces from the fashion world, with cameos rumored from several real-life designers and models who have yet to be revealed.

Fans have waited nearly twenty years for this sequel, and judging by the atmosphere on set, the cast seems to know exactly what’s at stake.

“We owe this film to the fans,” Blunt said in an earlier interview.

“People still quote lines from the original every day.

To give them something fresh, funny, and a little bit sharper — that’s the dream.”

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters worldwide on May 1, and if Monday’s energy on set is any indication, it may just become one of the most anticipated — and fashion-forward — films of 2025.

Meanwhile, photos of Hathaway and Blunt’s reunion have already gone viral, with fans calling the images “pure serotonin.

” One viral tweet read, “Anne and Emily laughing in Milan is the serotonin boost 2025 needed. ”

And as one fashion editor cheekily put it: “If this is what the behind-the-scenes looks like, imagine what Miranda Priestly has planned for us next.”
