00:01Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're breaking down some of the details you may not have spotted in the
00:07latest trailer and other promo material as we head into the final runway to the Devil Wears Prada sequel's release.
00:17Number 10. More unsuitable models.
00:20In the original movie, we learn that Miranda has a very specific vision for how she wants her models to
00:25look.
00:25Also, tell Richard I saw all the pictures that he sent for that feature on the female paratroopers, and they're
00:30all so deeply unattractive. Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender female paratrooper?
00:36Is she reaching for the stars? We don't think so. Fast forward 20 years, and it's clear Miranda's still searching
00:42for that elusive perfection. Her expectations as sky high as ever.
00:46And you were there when these images were taken. And the models were encouraged to mill around like starving goats
00:54in the parking lot of a methadone clinic in New Jersey.
00:58But here's the thing. While her razor-sharp critiques once felt like the stuff of legend, in 2026, her language
01:05lands a little differently.
01:07The trailer cheekily doesn't shy away from this, showing Miranda brushing off the new era of political correctness with a
01:13knowing laugh.
01:14Same old Miranda. Bold, unapologetic, in charge, and iconic.
01:19Well, what am I not allowed to say? Methadone? New Jersey. Anyway, you know what I mean.
01:27Number 9. Miranda's Armor.
01:30It's no secret that The Devil Wears Prada drew inspiration from Anna Wintour, author Lauren Weisberger's boss at Vogue.
01:36Who's Miranda?
01:38Oh my God, I will pretend you did not just ask me that. She's the editor-in-chief of Runway,
01:43not to mention her legend.
01:44While the creative team, and even Meryl Streep herself, avoided a direct impersonation, there's one unmistakable Winter's signature that Miranda
01:52Priestly had to inherit.
01:54Those sunglasses.
01:55Winter once told BBC News she wears them as armor, a shield from the world's prying eyes.
02:00They help me see, and they help me not see, and they help me be seen and not be seen,
02:06so they're a prop.
02:06In a meta moment, the trailer flashes Miranda hiding behind a mask of her own face, sunglasses and all.
02:12It feels like a sly wink to the queen of fashion.
02:15Fashion-forward fans also notice the release date coincides with the Met Gala.
02:19Now that's the ultimate fashion power move.
02:22You were born on the runway, way, way, way, way.
02:26Number 8. The new, new Emily.
02:29So I used to have your job.
02:31Alongside the return of beloved icons, some fans have already clocked Caleb Herron, while Kenneth Branagh steps into the role
02:37of Stuart, Miranda's husband, as glimpsed in the Tickets on Sale Now teaser.
02:42We also meet Miranda's latest Emily, Amari, who manages to do what few have done before.
02:47Make a memorable enough impression that Miranda actually remembers her name.
02:51Amari?
02:52Yes?
02:53Get Ashley on the phone, please.
02:55In the trailer, Amari, played by Simone Ashley, ushers Andy to her desk, much like the actual Emily did all
03:02those years ago.
03:02It's clear Miranda has a type when it comes to her assistants, whip-smart, and just the right amount of
03:08sass.
03:08Who gives away Chanel?
03:09Number 7. A scandalous expose?
03:12The trailer teases a tantalizing plot point.
03:15Rachel Bloom, in a yet-to-be-revealed role, nudges Andy toward writing an expose on Miranda.
03:21I'm going to make something of this job.
03:22You can write a book.
03:24The definitive Miranda Priestly expose.
03:27Sound familiar?
03:28Could it be a meta-nod to Weisberger herself, who famously turned her own experiences working at Vogue into literary
03:34gold?
03:35Here's a bit of behind-the-scenes trivia for the die-hard fans.
03:38Before Aline Brosh McKenna took the reins, the original screenplay for The Devil Wears Prada was a full-blown revenge
03:44story, much closer to the tone of Weisberger's 2003 novel.
03:48Just something in me reacted against sort of every beat of the screenplay at the time.
03:54It was a revenge story, it was very, very satirical, and I did everything I could over the next few
03:59weeks to sort of worm out of a meeting.
04:01Could echoes of that early script be resurfacing in the sequel?
04:05If so, we're in for a deliciously scandalous ride.
04:08May the bridges I burn light my way.
04:11Number 6. I love my job.
04:14If there's one thing the sequel makes clear, it's that Miranda Priestly is still the reigning queen of the media
04:19jungle.
04:20Only now, she's caught in the high-stakes tug-of-war between old-school print and the digital age.
04:26The trailer hints that some of her habits haven't faded, and she still wields those two devastating words to end
04:32a conversation.
04:33Wait, wait.
04:34That's not what you're wearing to the dinner.
04:36That's all.
04:37We also hear her borrow a line once uttered by Emily.
04:40I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.
04:44The delivery may be different, but the sentiment remains.
04:47In the original, Emily used it as a mantra to survive relentless demands.
04:51Now, it feels like Miranda clings to it as she faces a crossroads in her storied career.
04:57I just love my job.
04:59Number 5. Starting Minty Fresh.
05:02Before Andy ever sets foot in the hallowed halls of Runway, we meet her in a flurry of morning rituals.
05:07Juxtaposed against a parade of impeccably styled women prepping for the day.
05:18The film's opening shot shows Andy wiping the fog from her mirror and facing her reflection, toothbrush in hand.
05:29This opening shot hasn't been forgotten, with the trailer mirroring the same scene.
05:34Anne Hathaway herself paid homage to it when she teased the sequel, brushing her teeth in that now-legendary cerulean
05:40sweater.
05:40While the tooth brushing may not have been as memorable as the film's wardrobe, it feels like a fresh start
05:45for both Andy and this whole era.
05:48Oh, I love that.
05:49Number 4. A new song and possible cast member?
05:53If there's one thing that's set fandom hearts racing, it's the soundtrack.
05:58Got to go to Paris Fashion Week.
06:02We're a bunch of pieces from the Chanel collection that year.
06:06The trailer pulses with a brand new anthem runway, courtesy of Lady Gaga and Dochi, a pop-power duo if
06:13ever there was one.
06:14Gaga had previously sung Dochi's praises in an interview for British Vogue, so maybe this collaboration was always destined for
06:20the spotlight.
06:21I'm feeling free and flu-ception.
06:23Rumor even has it that Mother Monster was spotted on set in Milan.
06:28Is she making a cameo, or just living her best superfan life?
06:31The mystery lingers, but one thing's for sure.
06:34With Gaga and Dochi in the mix, this sequel's musical pedigree is as fierce as its fashion.
06:40Save the game!
06:44Number 3. Scandals in Vogue.
06:46The trailer drops a juicy hint that Miranda, or perhaps all of Runway, has landed in hot water, and Andy's
06:53been summoned for some high-stakes damage control.
06:56You are here to help us through our current scandal.
07:00It seems that there's been some creative accounting or some other risky gambles, all in the name of keeping Runway's
07:06print legacy alive in a world gone digital.
07:08But I did not hire you, and all I need to do is bide my time until you fail.
07:12One blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot shows Andy scrolling through Miranda memes.
07:16Each one riffing on her latest scandal.
07:18Eagle-eyed fans even noticed that one image was essentially lifted from the first movie, creating a miniature plot hole.
07:25Nevertheless, there's Miranda's icy glare, a look we first saw when Andy's biggest crime was a pair of unfashionable shoes.
07:41Number 2. Another makeover scene.
07:44When Andy realizes that surviving Runway means playing by Miranda's rules, she turns to the ever-dapper Nigel for a
07:51crash course in couture.
07:52Cue the legendary racks of designer labels, a parade of shoes and bags, and Nigel's rapid-fire roll call of
07:59fashion's elite.
08:09Watching Andy's style evolve from frumpy to fabulous is iconic.
08:13Fast forward to the sequel's trailer, and it's clear Andy's been away from the fashion frontlines for a while.
08:18Once again, she's in need of Nigel's sartorial wisdom.
08:28Trends may come and go, and the names on the labels might change, but one thing's for sure.
08:33Nigel's razor-sharp wit and eye for style are forever in vogue.
08:37You definitely need an embroidered two-piece totem set, but not the terracotta because you're so pale.
08:44Number 1. This sequel's in desperate need of Chanel.
08:48Back when the original film was in production, most designers tiptoed around the project, wary of crossing Anna Wintour.
08:54I had an enormous trouble finding anyone in the fashion world who would talk to me,
08:59because people were afraid of Anna and Vogue and not wanting to be blackballed.
09:03But Chanel saw an opportunity to introduce their brand to a new generation and seized it with both hands.
09:08Now, in the sequel, Chanel's legacy is stitched right into the heart of the movie.
09:12Okay, now Chanel, you're in desperate need of Chanel.
09:16Darling, shall we?
09:17Keep your eyes peeled for those unmistakable Chanel pieces on the table here, and listen out for Andy's reminiscing.
09:23I've got to go to Paris Fashion Week.
09:26We're a bunch of pieces from the Chanel collection that year.
09:31Can you still have a little bit?
09:32No, I gave it away.
09:34What?
09:34Would have been a bit much for a newsroom.
09:36In the runway universe, forsaking Chanel is basically fashion blasphemy.
09:40Right up there with clogs or a lumpy blue sweater from the clearance bin.
09:44Well, unless the person you've given it all to is Emily, of course.
09:48Well, I don't know.
09:49It's a huge imposition.
09:51And I'll have to get them taken in.
09:53I mean, they'll drown me.
09:56But I suppose I could help you out.
09:58I will have Roy pick them up this afternoon.
10:00Did you spot any other details?
10:02Let us know in the comments.
10:03Hmm.
10:04Bye.
10:09Bye-bye.
