Emily Blunt, the acclaimed British actress, has revealed that she carries deeply vivid and lasting memories from the making of The Devil Wears Prada 2, describing the experience as one of the most formative chapters of her professional life. The 43-year-old actress, who reprises her iconic role as Emily Charlton in the highly anticipated sequel, made the remarks in a candid interview with Extra, reported by Female First UK.

Emily Blunt on the Lasting Impact of the Original Film

Reflecting on the original 2006 comedy-drama, Blunt told Extra, "I feel like the first one, I have lasting, very, very prominent memories of it and such an informative time in my life." The film, which first introduced audiences to the sharp-tongued world of high fashion and ruthless ambition, became a global cultural touchstone and launched Blunt into international stardom.

The London-born actress first played Emily Charlton — the fiercely competitive first assistant to the formidable Miranda Priestly — in the original film, earning widespread praise for her comedic timing and screen presence. Nearly two decades later, she steps back into those designer heels for the long-awaited sequel.

Anne Hathaway — A 'Great Dance Partner' On Screen

One of the highlights Blunt spoke about was reuniting with her close friend and co-star Anne Hathaway, who reprises her role as Andrea 'Andy' Sachs. Blunt described Hathaway as a uniquely spontaneous and collaborative performer.

She said, "I love working with Annie because she's a great dance partner in scenes. She's very spontaneous. She'll sort of go with whatever you want to do." This chemistry between the two actresses was widely credited as one of the original film's most compelling elements, and fans are eager to see it rekindled in the sequel.

Notably, Anne Hathaway recently admitted she felt the weight of significant external pressure while shooting The Devil Wears Prada 2. Despite being conscious of audience expectations, the Oscar-winning actress stated she did not allow that pressure to affect her performance on set — a testament to the professionalism both leads have brought to the production.

Stanley Tucci Celebrates 20 Years With the Same Core Cast

Veteran actor Stanley Tucci, 65, who also returns for the sequel, expressed profound gratitude for the rare opportunity to reunite with the same ensemble after two decades. "I've been doing this for 45 years and to be able to have that same core group of people together after 20 years is kind of amazing," he said.

When asked how he first recognized that the original film had become a cultural phenomenon, Tucci reflected, "People would come up to us over the years and say, 'I love that movie' and you saw how much people watch it." The original Devil Wears Prada grossed over $326 million worldwide against a modest budget, and has since become one of the most rewatched films in the fashion-drama genre.

Why The Devil Wears Prada 2 Is One of Hollywood's Most Anticipated Sequels

The sequel arrives at a moment when nostalgia-driven Hollywood projects are commanding enormous audience interest. The original film, based on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel and directed by David Frankel, is widely regarded as a defining film of the 2000s — influencing fashion culture, workplace narratives, and even career conversations around ambition and sacrifice.

The return of Blunt, Hathaway, and Tucci — alongside the expectation that Meryl Streep may also reprise her role as Miranda Priestly — has amplified buzz to extraordinary levels. The project represents one of the few legacy sequels where the original cast is largely intact, lending it an authenticity that modern reboots often lack.

With production well underway and early cast interviews generating significant media traction, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is shaping up to be one of the defining entertainment events of the coming year. Audiences worldwide will be watching closely as release date details and official trailers emerge in the months ahead.
