The film "The Devil Wears Prada," released in 2006, had a tremendous impact on the fashion industry and how it is perceived. In addition to iconic dialogue and memorable characters like Miranda, Andy, and Emily, the film defined a distinct style era, characterized by high heels, sharp cuts, and accessories that immediately signaled a connection to the fashion world.

The trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, along with set photos and previews, has begun to give hints about the aesthetic direction of the new wardrobe. From these looks, it seems that some trends from the past could make a strong comeback. Below are some of the main predictions for their return.

tie

One of the most noticeable styling elements seen in the photos and trailer is the return of the tie. This accessory, which has been seen more and more often on both the catwalk and in everyday style, seems to continue to be part of the aesthetic of the world of “Runway” magazine. The tie serves as a refined detail that brings an editorial and professional feel, adapting to the style of the main characters in updated versions.

Briefcase bags

If a character like Andy Sachs were to start his fashion career today, with a traditional background in journalism, a bag inspired by the classic briefcase model would be a logical choice. The images from the shoot suggest exactly that direction. This bag style combines functionality with a sleek and professional aesthetic, reflecting a more structured approach to accessorizing.

Nostalgic shoes

One of the most iconic shoe designs of the 2010s is making a comeback in a trailer. The footage shows confident steps accompanied by a pair of heels with “Rockstud” elements, a detail that became very popular at the time. The comeback has sparked immediate interest, showing that cyclical trends in fashion continue to have a strong impact.

Accentuated belts

Belts with visible design were an important element in the original film, often used to accentuate dresses, coats or long blouses. In the sequel, the large belt seems to be returning in a more modern form and adapted to current style. This accessory continues to be used as an element that structures the silhouette and adds character to the outfit.

Big glasses

One of the most recognizable elements of Miranda Priestly's style is her use of sunglasses even indoors. This choice has never been simply practical, but a statement of attitude and authority. In the early scenes of the sequel, the large glasses continue to appear as a dramatic detail that adds a sense of power and presence. In the history of fashion, such accessories often cross over from the screen to real life, becoming part of everyday style.
