Plans are underway for The Devil Wears Prada sequel film - ALISON BOSHOFF reveals everything we know so far
There have been rumours for months but firm plans are finally advancing for a Devil Wears Prada 2 film.
Location scouts have been hired to pin down filming locations in New York and Paris and the plan is that the movie will go into production next month, with shooting from September.
Meryl Streep will reprise her role as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway, currently filming in Italy as Penelope opposite Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan 's The Odyssey, will return as Andy Sachs.
Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are also back for the movie, which will show the boss of Runway Miranda Priestly making her way through the hellscape of the modern magazine world – shrinking budgets, layoffs, disappearing print runs, influencers and all.
Blunt – who was Priestly's assistant in the 2006 film, will now be an executive at a luxury house, and Priestly will find she needs its advertising dollars.
The 2006 film was based on the hit 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger, who had worked as a personal assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
It spent six months on the New York Times bestseller list.
The sequel will once again be written by Aline Brosh McKenna, who penned the original screenplay.
Director David Frankel is also expected to return, reuniting key creatives behind the first film.
Blunt, who played her Priestly's assistant Emily Charlton in the 2006 film, said this week that she hadn't read a script but was on board.
She mused: 'Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do?
'We always have beef with each other. I don't know what it is. Let's hope we remedy it. I'm not sure.'
She added: '20 years ago — in a blink, it's gone by.'

She is currently starring in a musical on the West End west end gal Huge US TV star goes unnoticed running errands in London – would you have recognised her? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE of the biggest names in Hollywood almost went unnoticed as she ran errands in London's Trafalgar Square. Vanessa Williams is currently in London starring as the fictional fashion editor Miranda Priestly in the West End production of The Devil Wears Prada. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Vanessa Williams was spotted walking around London today Credit: Splash 4 The actress stopped to pose for photos with fans Credit: Splash 4 Vanessa looked stylish in wide-leg trousers and platform heels Credit: Splash The former Miss America, 62, was spotted looking very chic on the warm London day with a thick ponytail and wearing a black t-shirt tucked into wide-leg, white trousers. Vanessa completed the stylish look with black platform heels. She carried a black fringe bag and stopped for selfies for the few fans who recognised her near the famous London landmark. The Ugly Betty actress is starring in the musical at the Dominion Theatre on Tottenham Court Rd, about a 15 minute walk away from where she was spotted on Saturday afternoon. The musical based on the bestselling novel and blockbuster film, tells the story of an aspiring journalist who lands a job at Runway magazine. Vanessa debuted in the role when the musical opened in London's West End on October 24, 2024. The music in the show is composed by none, other than Sir Elton John. However, Vanessa's time in London has not been without tragedy. She revealed in January that her mother died in the English capital after making the trip to watch her perform. Vanessa cited a 'major decline in health' as the cause of her mother's death. Huge US TV star goes unnoticed running errands in London - would you have recognised her Sharing a statement to her Instagram with the sad news, she told fans: "On December 28th, the world lost a powerhouse, dynamo and force of nature packed into a 5ft frame. "Our mom, Helen Williams, aka Gaga to many, took her final bow in London 20 days after celebrating her 85th birthday surrounded by family and friends. "It's impossible to describe all she meant to everyone because each person saw a different facet of her. Loyal friend to many, icy stares to a chosen few." In 2012 Vanessa and her mother co-authored a book together, titled 'You Have No Idea: A Famous Daughter, Her No-nonsense Mother, and How They Survived Pageants, Hollywood, Love, Loss'.

How Dua Lipa's lookalike sister Rina is desperate to be famous actress & how rivalry with star spurs her on
IT can't be easy growing up in the shadow of one of the hottest and most famous singers in the world. So it's little wonder that there's a touch of sibling rivalry between Dua Lipa and her younger sister, aspiring actress Rina. 13 13 13 A source close to the family says: 'Not many people know what it's like to have a pop superstar as an older sister. 'It has without a doubt got its perks but constantly being in her shadow would take its toll on anyone. But it's made her more determined than ever to be her own person.' Rina was just 16 when her sister hit the big time, and since then Dua has continued her meteoric rise, landing Vogue covers and Grammy awards aplenty, not to mention an equally gorgeous fiance in Brit actor Callum Turner. Behind the scenes though, Rina has been working just as hard - and is determined to make a name for herself, independent of Dua. As well as gracing the pages of Vogue, she's already got her own fan pages, a whopping 1 million Insta followers, and just last week was spotted rubbing shoulders with Sydney Sweeney at Miu Miu's London party. Growing up in London, then their parents' native Kosovo, which they moved to when she was six, Rina has said she "worshipped" Dua. The move meant the sisters and their brother Gjin formed an incredibly tight bond as they navigated life in another country. When Dua was 15, however, she begged her family to let her move back to the UK to embark on a singing career. It wasn't a decision they took lightly and while Dua was chasing her dreams, Rina's formative teenage years were spent mostly without her big sister around. 'She was young, but she was mature, she was ready. My parents didn't let her go easily — it was all done in a very controlled way," Rina has said of that time. 'She had to get back at certain times and she lived with a family friend. But it was hard. I missed her. She worked very, very hard. I really looked up to her for that and I do to this day.' Inside glam life of Dua Lipa's sister Rina as 'Gen Z It Girl' models with Game of Thrones star and parties with Hadids By the time the family had reunited in the UK, Dua was well on her way to fame - and Rina had her own plan. With jet black hair, an enviable figure, and distinctive, different-coloured eyes (one brown, and one blue), she signed a modelling contract while still in school and, like many Gen Zs, fell into influencing. 13 13 An insider said: 'Rina has of course always really admired her sister but has had times felt that pressure of having such a successful sibling. 'She has also made it clear she wants to do things off her own back - she is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way because of Dua but she believes she would have made it on her own.' Now, Rina - who attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School, which has made the likes of Billie Piper and Nicholas Hoult, on Saturdays - has her heart set on becoming a successful actress. When she was 18, she vowed: 'I think Rina will be everywhere. My plan is to go forward with my acting and do that and really focus on that. 'I feel like a big budget film is the dream and going to your premiere in Leicester Square, but also I think a series would be really fun.' 13 13 Fast forward to this year, and Rina has appeared in short films The End of Love and Midpoint, and is set to make her feature film debut in Expectations - a contemporary adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. 'Performing, being on stage, being in front of the camera — I knew that was what I wanted to do. I like to talk a lot," she has said. It's yet to be the glitzy career she had hoped for onscreen, but her popularity online is ever growing, though still falls well short of Dua's 87 million followers. Aspiring to the dizzy heights of fame enjoyed by Dua, Rina gushed: 'Dua's my biggest teacher and I'm so in awe of her work ethic.' Whether she manages to reach similar heights, though, is yet to be seen. 13

From nude snaps, toyboy lovers & launching sexy products – how 50-plus stars like Hurley and Holden get spicier with age
Find out what Amanda Holden keeps in her saucy bedroom box GENERATION X-RATED From nude snaps, toyboy lovers & launching sexy products – how 50-plus stars like Hurley and Holden get spicier with age GONE are the days when midlife meant slowing down in the bedroom department — if this lot are anything to go by then this is the era when things ramp up. From Liz Hurley in her 'birthday suit' for her 60th, to Amanda Holden, 54, gardening 'naked', 52-year-old Sofia Vergara sunbathing topless and Halle Berry launching her own range of sex products, these women refuse to let age diminish their sensuality. Advertisement 6 Amanda Holden, 54, 'I would encourage anyone at home to strip off and have a cheeky bounce on the trampoline' Credit: Christian Vermaak 6 Halle Berry, 58, 'The most important thing about owning your sexuality is accepting the station you're at and embracing it' Credit: Instagram 6 Liz Hurley, 60, 'Powerful folk can be sexy. I adore Clinton... you know, naughty but nice with a very sexy voice' Credit: Instagram Dubbed Generation X-Rated, along with their nude snaps, they are sharing saucy sex confessions, dating toyboys and having the steamiest sex of their lives. Even at 67 Sharon Stone — technically a boomer — has set pulses racing with her latest magazine cover for Vogue. Proudly revealing her breasts in a sheer dress, it's her raunchiest shoot to date. While many may judge them for not 'acting their age', I'm sure millennials knee deep in nappies and Peppa Pig — in the so-called arid years — will be looking on with a hint of the green-eyed monster, and hoping that they too will revive their mojo in mid-life. Sharon Stone says she is 'hotter now than I have ever been' and that just as many people want to sleep with her as in her younger years. Meanwhile Liz Hurley is 'in love' with her new beau Billy Ray Cyrus, 63. Advertisement And kudos to Amanda Holden, who is happily 'swinging from the chandeliers' with husband Chris Hughes, 51. She says he can't keep his hands off her, adding: 'I actually tell him off because I say, 'I don't want to have a kiss and a grope while I'm trying to load the dishwasher.' One secret to their saucy sex life is that Amanda likes to walk around the home completely naked — whether serving Sunday lunch or bouncing on the trampoline in the garden. She also says she has a 'magic box' of sex toys. Advertisement Heidi Klum is another Gen-X-er who is more than satisfied. Married to Tom Kaulitz, who is 16 years her junior, she has spoken about how she has found her match. Amanda Holden appears NAKED on radio just days after Ofcom complaints over BGT dress Describing her sex life as 'endless, hot and wild', she says she likes to have sex for hours. Heidi once said: 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while.' Advertisement The German model's daughter Leni, 20, also revealed on a podcast that she and her friends found her mum's sex closet — where she keeps her sex toys and dressing-up clothes. While most teens would be mortified, Leni described the secret stash as 'cool'. Sexual prime According to research, it's not just celebrities or fictional characters such as the Sex And The City girls or Bridget Jones who are experiencing a sexual reawakening in their 50s and beyond. Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert While millennials and Gen Z are in a sexual recession — having less sex than their parents — many women of Generation X or even boomers like Sharon Stone are in their sexual prime. Advertisement Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor said: 'Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women. 'A survey by dating site Ourtime found that senior daters are more likely to leave the lights on in bed, and have sex sooner than daters aged 20 to 30.' She also said women have more access than previous generations to HRT to increase natural libido, and beauty treatments to boost confidence. Halle Berry is one Hollywood A-lister who has talked freely about post-menopause sex. Advertisement Last month she shared a video lying naked in bed with her boyfriend, 55-year-old musician Van Hunt, and held up a bottle of personal lubricant, laughing to the camera — hinting that they were about to get frisky. She has previously revealed that she has had red-light therapy down below and uses lubricating skincare products, declaring that she is now 'juicy like a peach'. Halle, 58, who has her own range of intimate wellness products, is as stunning as ever and her confidence is through the roof — at this year's Met Gala she appeared to go commando and left little to the imagination in a sheer dress. She insists 'Age is just a number they stick on us at birth' and looking at these sexy stars, you might say that it's almost possible to freeze time — if you have the means to do so. Advertisement Single Jennifer Lopez, 55, is a prime example. She showcased her ageless figure when performing at the American Music Awards last month, and in a bold move to prove she is far from past it, she locked lips with both her male and female dancers, making global headlines. In a similar move, Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara recently posted a holiday pic topless in just a thong bikini, and fans were amazed by how fabulous she looked. 6 Sofia Vergara, 52, 'I feel very sexy right when I wake up. But I feel even more after I shower, brush my hair and put on make-up' Credit: Instagram/sofiavergara 6 Heidi Klum, 52, 'If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while' Credit: Calzedonia Advertisement One posted: 'How the f*** are you 52?' while another speculated that she had airbrushed her bottom to make it appear bigger. Others left a trail of flame emojis and marriage proposals. Twice-married Sofia recently declared that she is looking for 'a lover' after her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello was finalised last year. After that thirst trap of a snap, there will be plenty of volunteers. As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic. Kate Taylor, Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor says: 'Women over 50 get a boost of va-va-voom, especially if they're single.' Advertisement And contrary to the trope that all menopausal women lose interest in sex, she adds: 'As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic.' Youth, they say, is wasted on the young. And numerous studies have shown that Gen Z is too busy scrolling TikTok and taking selfies to have much real-life sex. Meanwhile those in their 50s and older have reported improvements to their sex lives, with more than a third having the best sex of their lives, according to Swedish sex toy firm Lelo. Maybe youth isn't wasted on the young then — it's just the warm-up act for a spicier mid-life.
