All the easter eggs in The Devil Wears Prada 2

In classic 2000s film fashion, no chick-flick goes without an opening montage of the main character, especially as iconic as Andy’s (Hathaway) over the top of ‘Suddenly I See’ by KT Tunstall. In the sequel film, we see Andy brushing her teeth in the opening scene, exactly how they opened the film in the original.

One of the most memorable lines from the first film came, of course, from Miranda Priestly (Streep) herself. In the scene, one of her employees suggests using florals for the spring issue, prompting Miranda to deliver her now-iconic, deadpan response: “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”

In the second film the cast attend a glamorous event at the Metropolitan Museum of art (similar to the Met Gala) and the theme is ‘Spring Florals’. Chef’s kiss.

Many people may remember the scene of Andy digging into the office’s lunch buffet – corn chowder to be precise – where she subtly got schooled by Nigel (Tucci) on the house rules and status quo, before spilling it down her cerulean sweater.

In the new film, however, those words clearly don’t mean much to her as she’s seen once again going straight for the soup when she goes down to the cafeteria with Nigel, where he of course makes a little snarky comment about it.

During the second movie we meet Miranda’s first assistant played by Simone Ashley. We also meet Miranda’s second assistant played by Caleb Heron who perfectly makes a call back to the first movie by saying: “A million girls would kill for this job”. And he is correct.

The sequel also includes a cheeky callback to ‘The Book’ fiasco. In the film, Miranda has a new second assistant named Charles (Heron), who is anxiously waiting for “the book.” Andy offers him one piece of advice: “No matter what anyone tells you, do not go up the stairs in Miranda’s house.” When Charles replies, “Who would be stupid enough to do that?” Andy quickly insists, “No one!” before rushing off, a clear wink to one of her more nerve-wracking moments from the original film.

It may be called The Devil Wears Prada, but in the second film, Miranda was seen strutting down the hallways of Runway in some red studded Valentino heels. If you can remember, the late fashion designer Valentino Garavani, who died earlier in 2026, was the only designer to make a cameo appearance in the original film.

We all love a transformation scene – and there’s little more memorable than Andy’s original transformation montage playing out to the tune of ‘Vogue’ by Madonna. One of her new looks featured in the montage includes a green coat with leopard print trim – how very early noughties!

In the sequel’s montage of her time in Milan, she can be seen wearing the inverse of her original look – a leopard print coat with green trim.

It wouldn’t be The Devil Wears Prada without the cerulean jumper (not blue, cerulean!). In the very last scene of the new film where Andy has finally stepped into her role at Runway, we see her walk down the stairs of the same Elias Clarke building from the first film, wearing a very similar brown jacket and jeans. Inside, she takes off her jacket and reveals none other than the iconic cerulean jumper that she got roasted for in the first film – this time as a chic new vest!
