The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already highlighting nostalgic trends—here are 5 predictions I have.

      The influence of *The Devil Wears Prada* on the fashion industry and its professionals is hard to underestimate since its release in 2006. Beyond memorable quotes and characters like Miranda, Andy, and Emily, the film defined a distinctive style era characterized by towering heels, tailored suits, and accessories that clearly identified one as part of the fashion world. Now, with the trailer for the eagerly awaited sequel, along with initial set images and teaser clips, hints about the new wardrobe design are starting to surface. From what I have observed so far, I am quite impressed. If these initial impressions are any indication, numerous nostalgic trends may be making a comeback. Below are some that I predict will re-emerge.

      **Neckties**

      One of the most intriguing styling elements seen in set photos and trailers is the reappearance of neckties—these accessories have recently been spotted frequently on runways and in street style. It seems Runway magazine is embracing them as well, paying homage to the polished editorial vibe of the original film. Both Andy and Emily seem to be incorporating this accessory in fresh ways.

      **Briefcases**

      If Andy Sachs were to begin her fashion career today, coming from her traditional journalist roots, she would likely opt for a vintage-style briefcase—set photos indicate that’s the direction the film is taking. Now, I’m on the hunt for one myself.

      **Nostalgic Shoes**

      A notable pair of shoes from the 2010s made a return in the teaser trailer for *The Devil Wears Prada 2*. The scene opens with a confident stride in a pair of Rockstud heels—a detail immediately recognized by fashion enthusiasts. Suddenly, everyone found themselves adding a pair to their online shopping carts again.

      **Bold Belts**

      Statement belts were a prominent trend during the original *Devil Wears Prada* period, often used to cinch dresses, coats, or long tops. It seems Miranda Priestly has never parted with hers. The oversized belt featured in the trailer is styled in a more contemporary manner, and I’m taking notes.

      **Oversize Sunnies**

      One styling hallmark associated with Miranda Priestly is the habit of wearing sunglasses indoors. This choice was less about practicality and more about attitude. That same energy appears to be resurfacing in early glimpses of the sequel. Wearing oversized shades inside immediately elevates the drama—and if fashion history has taught us anything, it's that a well-executed Miranda-inspired accessory moment doesn’t remain on screen for long.
