The original Devil Wears Prada, adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling novel, followed the journey of Andy Sachs, a young journalist navigating the high-stakes world of fashion journalism under the direction of the icy Miranda Priestly. Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, served as Miranda’s razor-sharp assistant, while Tucci portrayed the ever-stylish art director Nigel.
Emily Blunt's Views on the Sequel
In previous interviews, Emily Blunt had expressed mixed feelings about a potential sequel, noting concerns that a follow-up could dilute the original's impact. However, she later shared her enthusiasm for reuniting with the cast, especially if it meant working with them again. In a June 2025 interview, she joked about her recurring on-screen tension with Meryl Streep, noting that they always seem to have conflict in their shared roles. She also mentioned that her daughters, Hazel and Violet, were eager to visit the set to see the dazzling fashion up close.
