Eighteen years after its debut, *The Devil Wears Prada* remains one of the most quotable, fashion-forward, and beloved cinematic comedies of the 21st century. The film, which premiered in 2006, launched the careers of several stars into the stratosphere and cemented the legendary status of its lead. As of December 2025, the curiosity surrounding the cast—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci—is at an all-time high, especially following a highly publicized and "groundbreaking" reunion that dominated pop culture headlines earlier this year. This deep dive explores the current projects, career milestones, and surprising new life paths of the iconic cast, proving that their influence is far from being dismissed with a simple, "That's all."
The enduring legacy of *The Devil Wears Prada* is a testament to its pitch-perfect casting. The dynamic between Andy Sachs, Miranda Priestly, and Emily Charlton created a cultural phenomenon that transcends the fashion world, exploring themes of ambition, sacrifice, and corporate toxicity. The cast members have since gone on to win multiple awards, star in blockbuster franchises, and even leave Hollywood entirely for a more sustainable life, making their "Where Are They Now" story as compelling as the film itself.

The Groundbreaking 2024 SAG Awards Reunion: "A Quiet Place" in the Fashion World
The most significant and recent update for fans of *The Devil Wears Prada* was the unexpected and delightful reunion of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
The trio, who had not been together on a major stage since the film's release, reunited to present the award for Male Actor in a Comedy Series. The moment was an instant viral sensation, as they fell back into their iconic character dynamics, delivering a series of hilarious and perfectly executed callbacks to the movie's most famous lines.
The reunion dialogue was a masterpiece of fan service:
- Meryl Streep (as Miranda) struggled to open the envelope, prompting Emily Blunt (as Emily) to quip, "Meryl, that is not a question." This was a direct reference to Emily's famous line to Andy, "A million girls would kill for this job."
- Anne Hathaway (as Andy) then leaned in to help her former boss, saying, "I think I know where this goes," a nod to her character's eventual mastery of the *Runway* world.
- Streep then looked at the two actresses and, with perfect Miranda Priestly disdain, uttered the iconic line: "The two of you are just so much alike." This line, in the context of the reunion, celebrated the careers of Hathaway and Blunt, who are now two of Hollywood's most successful leading ladies.
This reunion proved that the chemistry between the three actresses is as potent as ever, immediately reigniting fan calls for a sequel, a topic that Emily Blunt has often addressed, jokingly suggesting that the *Runway* trio should all be in a "quiet place" together.
Where Are The Supporting Stars Now? Adrian Grenier and Simon Baker
While the main four are often discussed, the supporting cast played crucial roles in Andy Sachs's journey, particularly her relationship with her boyfriend and her flirtation with a charming writer. Their career paths since the film have taken some fascinating and unexpected turns.
Adrian Grenier (Nate Cooper)
- Role in Prada: Nate, Andy's chef boyfriend who struggled to understand her demanding new life at *Runway*.
- 2025 Update: Grenier, best known for his role as Vincent Chase in *Entourage*, has made a dramatic shift away from the Hollywood spotlight. In 2020, he famously left Los Angeles to move to a communal farm in Bastrop, Texas. He is now a full-time environmental activist, social impact entrepreneur, and farmer, focusing on sustainability and building Kintsugi Ranch. His current work is centered on eco-conscious living and environmental advocacy, a stark contrast to the glitz of his former life.
Simon Baker (Christian Thompson)
- Role in Prada: Christian Thompson, the charming, successful writer who acts as a potential love interest and professional temptation for Andy in Paris.
- 2025 Update: The Australian actor, famous for his lead role as Patrick Jane in the long-running TV series *The Mentalist*, has also scaled back his US-based acting work. He has returned to his homeland of Australia, where he is focusing more on directing and producing. He lives on a "little property" where he is rediscovering the joy of a more private, less Hollywood-centric life, though he continues to take on select acting roles in Australian cinema.
The Enduring Legacy: From Runway to the Broadway Stage
The influence of *The Devil Wears Prada* extends beyond the careers of its cast members. The film is a cultural touchstone that has spawned new creative projects and continues to fuel endless discussion about its themes.
The Musical Adaptation: Perhaps the biggest fresh development is the ongoing work on The Devil Wears Prada Musical. The production, featuring music by Elton John and lyrics by Shaina Taub, has been in development for several years and had a pre-Broadway run in Chicago. It is expected to make its highly anticipated debut on London's West End, and eventually Broadway, bringing the world of *Runway* magazine and Elias-Clarke to a new audience. The musical features new actors stepping into the iconic shoes of Miranda, Andy, and Nigel, proving the story's timeless appeal.
Sequel Rumors and Fan Theories: Despite the film being nearly two decades old, speculation about *The Devil Wears Prada 2* never truly dies. The cast, particularly Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt, are constantly asked about the possibility. While most have expressed their love for the characters and the original film's perfect ending, the 2024 SAG reunion has been the closest fans have come to a true sequel, demonstrating the power of their enduring professional friendship. The film's final scene, where Andy throws her phone into the fountain, remains the definitive conclusion for many, but the idea of a follow-up, perhaps with Andy or Emily becoming the new Miranda Priestly, is a perpetual fan fantasy.
The film's topical authority on the fashion industry, ambition, and the harsh realities of the corporate world ensures its place in the pop culture pantheon. The recent career paths and the joyful reunion of the cast members prove that, unlike a fleeting fashion trend, the magic of *The Devil Wears Prada* is truly eternal.
