Can’t wait for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’? These five fashion films will feed your obsession

The countdown to “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is officially on, with its May 1, 2026, release date circled in bold on every fashion lover’s calendar.

Ever since the first trailer dropped, the anticipation has been building, and let’s be honest, most of us have already rewatched “The Devil Wears Prada” more times than we can count.

And yes, Miranda Priestly’s icy “That’s all” still ends conversations like nothing else.

While we wait to see the next wave of jaw-dropping outfits, sharp-tongued one-liners and that deliciously tense dynamic between Miranda and Emily, there’s no shortage of stylish films to keep your fashion appetite satisfied.

Here are a few worth adding to your watchlist:

Coco Before Chanel (2009)

“Coco Before Chanel” takes us back to the origins of one of fashion’s most influential figures, Gabrielle Coco Chanel.

The film follows her journey from a humble upbringing to becoming a revolutionary designer who redefined how women dressed.

It’s less about runway spectacle and more about the grit, independence and vision that built an empire.

Prêt-à-Porter (1994)

Set during Paris Fashion Week, “Prêt-à-Porter” (“Ready to Wear”) is a chaotic, satirical peek behind the scenes of the fashion industry.

With an ensemble cast and multiple storylines colliding, the film captures the egos, drama and absurdity that often sit just beneath the polished surface of high fashion.

Cruella (2021)

In “Cruella”, Emma Stone delivers a bold, rebellious take on one of Disney’s most iconic villains.

Set against the backdrop of 1970s London, the film blends punk fashion with couture in a visually striking story about ambition, identity and making a statement, no matter the cost.

House of Gucci (2021)

Few fashion stories are as dramatic as that of the Gucci dynasty, and “House of Gucci” leans all the way in.

Starring Lady Gaga and Adam Driver, the film unpacks a tale of love, ambition, betrayal and power, all wrapped in impeccable style and scandal.

Saint Laurent (2014)

Saint Laurent dives into the life of Yves Saint Laurent during the height of his career.

It’s a moody, stylish portrait of genius and excess, showing both the brilliance behind the designs and the personal struggles that came with fame and creative pressure.

If Miranda Priestly has taught us anything, it’s that fashion is never just about clothes. It’s about power, identity and influence.

Until the sequel finally hits cinemas, these films should keep your inner fashion editor more than entertained.  — moviebox.
