NEW YORK – The scene recalled the frenzy that unfolds backstage during fashion week: On a recent Monday, in a room full of clothing racks, stylist Micaela Erlanger was working alongside a team of tailors and assistants. But they were not preparing for your average fashion show.
Erlanger and the group had assembled at her studio in Manhattan to prepare looks for American actress Meryl Streep, Erlanger’s client of 11 years, to wear during the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026). It is the buzzy sequel to the beloved 2006 film set at a fictionalised version of a certain glossy fashion magazine, which has become a cult favourite among serious and casual followers of fashion alike.
