A pair of red stilettos clack on linoleum floor as other, more meekly heeled feet jump to avoid its path. Thus opens the trailer for one of 2026's most anticipated movies, The Devil Wears Prada 2, that has already come under mild heat from those crumbs of footage.
The shoes are the problem.
Moments after the teaser dropped in November 2025, the Instagram brigade logged their dissent. Miranda Priestly, dictatorial fashion editor and devil of the title - would not be caught dead in those Valentino Rockstud pumps. There was enough vexation with the seemingly passe choice of footwear, a 2010s anachronism, to launch same-day news headlines.
The sequel to the cult 2006 comedy set in the high-shine, low-loyalty world of fashion media is one of a spate of stylish films opening in cinemas in 2026. The bumper crop comes at a time of heightened interest in the costume department, with online debates over characters' garb a new commonplace that can start months before a release.
