With the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, the internet is once again entering its annual “Miranda Priestly was right” phase. And honestly? Fair enough.
Beyond the iconic one-liners and the emotional damage caused by Emily’s work ethic, the movie understood something about fashion that still feels true today: great style is less about trends, and more about presence.
Miranda never dressed loudly. She dressed decisively. Everything she wore looked intentional and expensive. Which got us thinking… if Miranda Priestly existed in 2026, what would she actually carry?
Not what’s viral. Not what’s trending for three weeks on TikTok. But pieces with the right energy.
The Prada Galleria
This bag feels like it has meetings to attend.
The Prada Galleria is structured, polished. It’s not trying to be cool. Which ironically makes it cooler.
It holds its shape and survives trend cycles.
The Toteme Trench
Possibly the least dramatic item on this list; and maybe the most Miranda of all.
A good trench coat has quiet confidence. It doesn’t beg for attention, but somehow pulls an entire look together instantly.
Saint Laurent Pumps
This iconic heel has been around forever!They’re sleek, clean, intimidatingly simple and impossible to argue with. Besides, YSL understands power dressing better than most.
The thing about all these pieces?
They don’t feel impulsive. They feel considered.
Which is probably why The Devil Wears Prada still resonates almost twenty years later.
And maybe the reason Miranda still feels relevant is because in a world constantly chasing the next thing, she reminds us that personal style is really about knowing what deserves to stay.
As she would say, that’s all. For now.
