The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour has commenced and we’re noticing recurring theme in the looks chosen by both Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway: red monochrome. Although red is not a new color trend—ubiquitous on the runway and the latest street style—it feels fresh in the hands of the two actresses, who’ve been promoting their new film in a plethora of modern power sets centered around the vibrant shade.
We’re privy to plenty of method dressing these days for press tours—look no further than Zendaya’s wardrobe for her recent outings for The Drama as confirmation—and although both Hathaway and Streep are subtly nodding to the book cover’s glossy red shoe, it doesn’t mean we can’t take style notes from what they’re doing in real life, especially when it feels so on point with the trend cycles.
Get the Look:
One of the biggest lessons to take away from the pair is that texture is key. Whether it’s a sharply cut blazer and trousers, like Meryl Streep’s Dolce & Gabbana moment in Mexico City, expertly styled with an organza bow blouse for interest, or Anne Hathaway’s leather Balenciaga look in Seoul, combining fabrications makes monochrome dressing all the more interesting.
Another important consideration? Eschew traditional silhouettes in lieu of sharper shapes—whether that means swapping a classic blazer for an off-the-shoulder jacket, similar to Streep’s Prada set, or test-driving a collarless take, like her patterned Chanel from Matthieu Blazy’s pre-fall 2026 collectsion, complete with fringe trim (another textural trend we saw heavily on the spring/summer 2026 runways). Try mixing and matching brands, too—for instance, a tailored cotton jacket with a silky skirt; as long as they’re in the same color family, it’ll create a cohesive look.
Ahead, shop head-to-toe red sets to upgrade your spring closet. Welcome to the new power look.
