Who directed the 2026 film The Devil Wears Prada 2?

David Frankel directed the 2026 film The Devil Wears Prada 2. He returns to the world of Runway magazine after directing the original 2006 film, making him the creative link between the two movies.

Frankel is an English film and television director whose work includes The Devil Wears Prada, Marley & Me and Hope Springs. His direction of the first Prada film helped establish its polished fashion-world atmosphere while balancing workplace comedy, drama and character development. The sequel reunites him with much of the original creative and cast team.

The film brings back Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci as Nigel. Its story moves the characters into a changed media and fashion landscape, creating a new conflict around the future of Runway magazine.

The wrong options are directors associated with other recognizable films: Paul Feig directed Bridesmaids, Garry Marshall directed Pretty Woman, and Nancy Meyers directed films including The Holiday. None directed either Prada installment.
