A Global Tour Turned Runway for Devil Wears Prada 2 Accessories
The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour has treated every city like an extended runway, with accessories doing as much storytelling as the clothes. At the New York world premiere, the core cast leaned into red carpet jewellery and celebrity bag style that nodded to their characters without slipping into costume. Anne Hathaway’s custom Louis Vuitton gown was sharpened with pink gold Bulgari jewels and a bold red cocktail ring, while Meryl Streep framed her editrix aura in a Givenchy cape, opera gloves and David Yurman pieces. Emily Blunt’s sculptural Schiaparelli gown became a backdrop for Mikimoto pearls, and Stanley Tucci’s tailored suiting was elevated by precise finishing touches. London’s European premiere continued the accessory narrative, from Streep’s Prada look and Judith Leiber “the book” clutch to Blunt’s monochromatic Balenciaga with a statement necklace. Across premieres and after-parties, the message was clear: this sequel is as much about Devil Wears Prada 2 accessories as it is about the plot.
Emily Blunt and the New Pearl Necklace Trend
Emily Blunt’s New York premiere look redefined pearls for a new generation. Styled by Jessica Paster, she anchored her feathered Schiaparelli couture gown with Mikimoto’s Les Pétales Place Vendôme pieces, centring on the Rosés Akoya choker built from three rows of cultured Akoya pearls and diamond-encrusted petals. Rather than a prim single strand, the layered, sculptural design gave the pearl necklace trend a slightly subversive edge, especially against 25,000 silk feathers and an asymmetric hem. On the London stop, Blunt doubled down on jewellery, pairing custom Balenciaga tailoring with another statement Mikimoto necklace to punctuate her monochromatic red look. For everyday wear, the takeaway is layering: stack different pearl lengths, mix in metal chains or sculptural pendants, and wear them with sharp shirting or a simple tee. High-street brands now offer multirow faux-pearl chokers and mixed-chain sets that echo Blunt’s runway-level drama without needing a couture budget.
Meryl Streep’s Statement Cape Outfits and Power Accessories
Meryl Streep’s accessories were pure Miranda Priestly: authoritative, precise and faintly intimidating. In New York, she arrived in a cheetah-print Gucci coat before switching into a red-orange Givenchy cape coat, complete with a loose neck tie, sleek leather opera gloves, David Yurman jewellery and Stuart Weitzman shoes. The look read as fashion armour, with the cape, gloves and even her sunglasses acting as statement accessories that reinforced a commanding silhouette. On another stop, she wore a bright red Dolce & Gabbana power suit, while London saw her in custom Prada topped with a Judith Leiber clutch modeled after “the book” from the original film. Her after-party Gucci coat reappearance, styled with a monogrammed chainlink belt and satin pumps, showed how one hero piece can be re-accessorised. To channel this statement cape outfit energy off the red carpet, pair a structured cape or long coat with long gloves, bold earrings and a single, conversation-starting clutch.
Anne Hathaway’s Main-Character Jewellery, Bags and Shoes
Anne Hathaway’s accessories across the tour proved how to balance bold silhouettes with carefully chosen red carpet jewellery. In New York, her custom red satin Louis Vuitton gown, with a corseted bodice and sculpted tea-length skirt, was grounded by red open-toe heels and amplified by pink gold Bulgari jewels plus a striking red cocktail ring. For the after-party, she pivoted to a metallic Louis Vuitton mini dress, keeping the continuity with the same ruby-and-diamond Bulgari earrings and Serpenti bracelet, plus black tights and sharp pumps. In London, a black archival Versace gown took on main-character energy through minimal yet deliberate finishing touches, while a striped Louis Vuitton gown at a gala reception showed how she uses accessories to soften graphic lines. For readers, the lesson is edit ruthlessly: when your dress is dramatic, stick to one standout jewellery piece and a streamlined bag. Think a single cuff, jewel-toned earrings or a structured mini top-handle to recreate her celebrity bag style without overcomplicating a look.
Menswear, Techy Details and How to Get the Look
Menswear on this tour quietly pushed accessories into the spotlight. Stanley Tucci’s pinstripe Paul Smith suit at the London premiere came alive through sleek sunglasses, a pocket square and polished shoes, while his New York velvet tailoring leaned into texture as an accessory in itself. At the New York after-party, John Krasinski’s black velvet tuxedo was zhuzhed up with a diamond brooch, a subtle but impactful detail beside Emily Blunt’s Balmain look. Elsewhere, tiger-print outerwear, monogrammed chainlink belts and Judith Leiber’s “book” clutch hinted at a broader trend towards sculptural and story-driven pieces, including tech-adjacent design like 3D-inspired textures and architectural jewellery. To translate these Devil Wears Prada 2 accessories into everyday outfits, swap diamond brooches for enamel pins, choose statement belts over logo-heavy ones and look for high-street loafers or boots with metallic hardware. Architectural hoops, resin cuffs and structured crossbody bags can all mimic the tour’s high-fashion mood at mid-range price points.
