Who plays Nigel Kipling in The Devil Wears Prada 2?

Stanley Tucci plays Nigel Kipling in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Nigel is the influential Runway magazine art director whose wit, expertise, and occasional sympathy made him one of the original film’s most memorable characters.

Tucci returned to the role alongside Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt. In the story, Nigel works within Miranda Priestly’s demanding fashion world, but he is more than a comic observer: he understands the industry’s power structure and recognizes talent, including Andy Sachs’s potential. His professional relationship with Miranda is complicated by loyalty, ambition, and the magazine’s ruthless hierarchy.

A common mix-up is to associate Nigel with Kenneth Branagh or Justin Theroux, both of whom join the sequel’s expanded cast in different roles. B. J. Novak is also not Nigel. Tucci’s performance in the 2006 film helped make the character a fan favorite, and his return is part of the sequel’s connection to the original.
