Which Was Your Favourite Meryl Streep ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Press Tour Look?

May always disappears in a blur. It begins with the Met Gala, which somehow feels like a week-long event in itself, and by the time you finally catch your breath, Cannes arrives to carry fashion through to the end of the month. Suddenly, it is June, and the whirlwind of premieres, photocalls and red carpets has already moved on.

Which is exactly why it feels worth circling back to one of the best fashion stories of the season: Meryl Streep’s The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.

Before the noise of Cannes took over, Meryl delivered one of the most consistent and surprisingly considered press tours of the year.

Meryl is not a celebrity we see regularly on the red carpet, and on those rare occasions, fashion has never really felt like the main event. When you are an Oscar-winning legend, it rarely needs to be. Presence, talent and legacy tend to do the heavy lifting.

But promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 changes the equation. Much like Sex and the City, fashion becomes part of the storytelling. It is another character in the room, and I loved that Meryl did not shy away from that expectation. Instead, she embraced it in a way we have rarely seen before.

The press tour began in Mexico with Schiaparelli and Dolce & Gabbana before moving through Asia in Chanel and Prada, and somewhere along the way, a clear style narrative started to emerge. Red became a recurring theme, while tailoring established itself as the foundation of the wardrobe.

By the time the tour reached Shanghai, it genuinely felt like Miranda Priestly had entered the chat. The sharper silhouettes, stronger styling choices and increased confidence gave the impression that Meryl had fully settled into the rhythm of the tour. By the New York premiere, where she wore a striking red leather Givenchy cape, the transformation felt complete.

And it was not just the premieres doing the work. We had street style moments, three standout London looks, nods to cerulean blue, and a wardrobe that felt carefully connected to the world of the film without becoming overly literal.

It is difficult to narrow down a favourite, but for me, Meryl’s strongest moments came in red: Dolce & Gabbana in Mexico, Prada in Seoul, Givenchy in New York and Prada again in London. If I had to pick just one, London narrowly takes the lead.
