Hold onto your designer handbags, fashionistas! The highly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, is strutting its way back into our lives, and we’ve got a sneak peek that’s hotter than a runway in Milan. Anne Hathaway is back as the iconic Andy Sachs, and she’s not alone—she’s got a new assistant, Jin Chao, played by the fabulous Helen Shen.
In an exclusive clip that aired on Good Morning America, we see Andy stepping off the elevator with none other than Nigel, the ever-dapper Stanley Tucci, right by her side. But the real star of the moment? Jin Chao, who wastes no time in telling Andy just how she snagged the coveted assistant role. “I was an intern this morning, but when a desk opens up, the interns get a chance to interview,” she explains, her excitement palpable. “And guess what? Nobody wanted to work in your department because it’s not actually fashion. So I just, like, got it. Isn’t that cool?”
Talk about a power move! Andy, ever the supportive boss, responds with a polite, “Very,” but you can practically hear the gears turning in her head. Chao isn’t done yet, though. She cheekily probes, “You don’t want me?” to which Andy, slightly flustered, insists, “What? I didn’t say that.” It’s clear that this new dynamic is going to bring some serious sass to the office.
But wait, it gets better! Jin isn’t just any assistant; she’s got the credentials to back her up. “I did go to Yale. 3.86 GPA… And my ACT score was 36…” she boasts. Talk about a brainy beauty! Andy, clearly impressed, assures her, “No, you seem great. I’m happy to have you.” The chemistry is already sizzling, and we can’t wait to see how this relationship unfolds.
As if that wasn’t enough to get your fashion-loving heart racing, the film also sees the return of Meryl Streep as the formidable Miranda Priestly, alongside other fan favorites like Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Talk about a reunion! The trailer hints at Andy rejoining the magazine to help navigate a juicy scandal, and we all know that when Andy and Miranda are in the same room, drama is sure to follow.
Directed by David Frankel and written by Aline Brosh McKenna, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver all the wit, glamour, and fierce competition we’ve come to love. Mark your calendars, because this fashion extravaganza hits theaters on May 1, and you won’t want to miss it!
