Wait, is it 2006 again? Yes and no—The Devil Wears Prada 2 is coming out today in theatres, a reminder that 20 whole years have lapsed since the very first one came and changed our lives forever. Where we left off the last time, it seemed like their paths were diverging—but the gang’s back together again to navigate the new ins and outs of the fashion world.
As we meet the beloved core four—Miranda Priestly, Andy Sachs, Emily Charlton and Nigel Kipling—again, it’s clear that everyone’s evolved in their own way and with the times. We’d last seen a young Andy outside of the Elias-Clarke building, but now she takes to the streets with a confident stride sans the bangs. Emily returns with more subtle looks, though she’s kept her ginger tresses. Simone Ashley joins the ensemble too, with a face card that can kill accompanied by a mystery role in the Runway office. And what of our revered Miranda? Replete with nostalgic references and riveting twists, the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is here to arrest our hearts again. Below, peek the beauty moments that are defining a whole new era of the cult fashion flick.

The uniform
The Andy Sachs we knew was fresh-faced and rosy, but now that her resume’s stacked, she’s got her signature look down pat—effortless curls, brown nude lip and her famed brows peeking out from behind shades.

Red carpet smokeshow
Miranda will see you now—looking like a star. Slate grey shadows bring out the grey-blue hue of her eyes, giving her the icy touch that makes her so formidable.

No Monday blues
Oh my god, Andy, you look so chic. Taking a page out of Emily’s book in the first movie, Andy’s lids are sparkly blue to match her shimmery dress.

Fierce flicks
Emily may have loved a smokey eye back in the day, but she means business now with crisp winged liner and a neatly trimmed lob.

High flyer
What better way to accentuate your cheekbones than with a high ponytail? It’s enough to be a look on its own, paired with a smidge of highlighter on the high points of the face and brown eyeshadow.

Tap, tap
Trouble may still find her, but Emily’s not letting it break her down this time. Instead, she’s got her eye patches on and affirmations to tap into.
