As part of the promotion for the highly anticipated sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” the original cast reunited on the SiriusXM show Front Row to relive anecdotes from the 2006 filming.

During During the interview, Emily Blunt confessed that working with Meryl Streep wasn't exactly a relaxing experience due to her co-star's level of immersion in the role of Miranda Priestly. "In the first film, I was quite scared because I felt like you were very much in a kind of concentration zone," Blunt admitted to Streep. The British actress recalled that, although Streep wasn't inaccessible, her "Miranda zone" prevented the warmth and laughter that now characterizes their relationship from flowing freely. The Method Behind the Coldness: Meryl Streep confirmed that her attitude was a deliberate choice to build the character's authority. “I felt there was a little distance, a slight separation that helped build the character's authority,” the actress explained. This decision came at a personal cost: while the rest of the cast—Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Blunt—laughed and mingled in the makeup area, Streep remained isolated in her trailer to maintain the necessary tension for her scenes. “It's lonely at the top,” the hosts joked about the solitude Streep experienced to bring the ruthless Runway editor to life. The nostalgia for this dynamic comes at a pivotal moment. The sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” is scheduled for its worldwide release on May 1, 2026. In this new installment, the roles are reversed: Miranda Priestly must face the decline of print magazines and is forced to turn to Emily Charlton (Blunt), who is now a powerful executive at a luxury group with the advertising control Miranda needs to survive.
