Meryl Streep, a legendary figure in Hollywood, has recently made headlines not only for her role in the upcoming sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” but also for her choice of fashion. The 76-year-old actress was spotted wearing a design by a Vietnamese fashion label while filming the movie on the streets of New York.
In one of the photos shared online, Streep is seen wearing a structured white shirt from the Spring-Summer 2025 collection by Vietnamese designer Tran Minh Dao. She paired it with wide-leg trousers, a trech coat, red heels, and sunglasses, creating a look that quickly captured attention across social media platforms such as Instagram, Threads, and X.
The shirt, priced at VND1.5 million (approximately US$57), reflects the evolving trends in fashion, aligning with the film’s lead stylist Patricia Field’s vision of updating Priestly’s wardrobe. This update aims to blend modern elegance with a tech-savvy edge, showcasing the evolution of the fashion industry.
A Cultural Phenomenon
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is set to be released in May 2026. Directed by David Frankel, the film is based on the bestselling novel by American writer Lauren Weisberger. The original 2006 film followed Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, a fresh college graduate who lands a job as an assistant to editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly at Runway magazine. The story delves into the high-stakes world of fashion, exploring themes of ambition, ethics, and identity.
The first film became a cultural phenomenon, grossing over US$325 million worldwide—nine times its production budget. It earned two Academy Award nominations and a Golden Globe win, cementing its place in pop culture.
