Meryl Streep's Style Evolution for 'Devil Wears Prada 2'

The press tour for Devil Wears Prada 2 is underway, with the film slated for release in May. Filming took place last year, featuring returning stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, alongside new cast members.

A New Accessory Choice

Meryl Streep is making a statement with her accessory choices, deviating from her usual Valentino and Hermès bags. While en route to an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Streep was spotted carrying the Hudson bag from DeMellier.

The Hudson Bag: A Modern Miranda Priestly Aesthetic

The DeMellier Hudson bag is a sleek, top-handle style in black small grain leather. This choice echoes the structured and sophisticated bags favored by Miranda Priestly in the original Devil Wears Prada film, such as the Prada Spazzolato and Hermès Kelly.

Costume Design in 'Devil Wears Prada 2'

Costume designer Molly Rogers selected both staple and unreleased handbags for the cast during filming. Anne Hathaway, as Andy Sachs, was seen with the Valentino Garavani Panthea, Rabanne Nano bag, and a Fendi basket bag.

Streep's On-Screen Accessories

Meryl Streep, portraying Runway EIC Miranda Priestly, utilized a Celine Flat Cabas Luggage bag and a violet clutch by Pinel et Pinel on set. The DeMellier bag appears to bridge the gap between Streep’s on-screen and off-screen style.

An Editor-Approved Accessory

DeMellier is already a favorite among fashion editors and celebrities, including Kate Middleton and Katie Holmes. Stylist Micaela Erlanger, a longtime collaborator with Streep, has incorporated the bag into the actress’s press tour wardrobe, which also includes pieces from Dolce & Gabbana and Schiaparelli.
