Will These Iconic 'Devil Wears Prada' Moments Return in the Sequel?

Fans of The Devil Wears Prada know it's not just the fashion that made the film unforgettable-it's the fashion-fueled iconic moments. From biting one-liners to perfectly placed songs, the original movie built a world that still lives rent-free in pop culture. Now, with a sequel on the horizon, the big question is: which of those iconic elements might make a comeback?

Here are 10 fan-favorite moments that feel primed for a return in The Devil Wears Prada 2, according to VegasInsider.com.

1. "Vogue" by Madonna. Already a global hit, "Vogue" became inseparable from Andy's transformation montage. The fact that it appears in early sequel footage suggests it could once again soundtrack a major fashion moment.
2. Miranda saying "That's all." Few lines define Miranda Priestly quite like this one. Its icy delivery became instantly iconic-and fans will be listening closely for its return.
3. A phone dramatically meeting water. The original's Paris fountain scene is unforgettable. A modern twist-perhaps involving a smartphone-would be a fitting callback.
4. Miranda actually wearing Prada. Despite the title, Prada itself was used sparingly. A more deliberate inclusion this time would feel like a wink to longtime viewers.
5. A cerulean moment. The cerulean sweater monologue is one of the film's most quoted scenes. Whether obvious or subtle, a nod to it feels almost essential.
6. "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall. The song helped define the film's opening energy. Bringing it back would instantly tap into that same momentum.
7. Miranda saying "Groundbreaking." Delivered with razor-sharp sarcasm, it's another line fans would love to hear again.
8. Emily's stressed-out mantra. If Emily Charlton returns, so might her frantic "I love my job" refrain-especially in a high-pressure setting.
9. A jaw-dropping number of outfits. The original set the bar high with dozens of looks. Whether the sequel ups the ante or scales back, fashion will remain front and center.
10. The iconic lip purse. Sometimes, Miranda doesn't need words. That subtle, devastating expression says it all.

Whether these moments return exactly as fans remember or get a modern update, one thing is certain: the sequel has a legacy to live up to (and plenty of iconic inspiration to draw from).

The Devil Wears Prada 2 releases in theaters May 1, 2026.
