The Devil Wears Prada 2 Style: The Eyewear Behind the Characters

The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings back the fast-paced world of fashion publishing, New York City offices, luxury wardrobes, and of course: great eyewear. While the sequel still feels stylish and aspirational, the fashion in this film appears more wearable and polished compared to the dramatic styling of the original movie.

This time around, glasses and sunglasses play a bigger role in showing how each character has evolved. From Miranda Priestly’s refined optical frames to Andy Sachs’ versatile everyday sunglasses, the eyewear throughout the film feels much closer to what people would actually wear in real life.

In this guide, we break down the glasses and sunglasses worn by the main characters throughout the film. Some styles are available to shop at Fashion Eyewear, while discontinued pieces are matched with similar alternatives that capture the same overall look and feel.

 

Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly

Miranda Priestly remains one of fashion cinema’s most iconic characters. Still leading Runway magazine decades later, her style feels slightly softer in the sequel: less intimidating than before, but still powerful, elegant, and incredibly polished.

 

Jimmy Choo JC5030

 

This classic-looking frame stands out thanks to its subtle gold detailing, adding just enough glamour without feeling flashy. Miranda wears this style frequently throughout the film, especially during scenes moving between New York meetings and limousine rides.

If you like this sophisticated shape, the Miu Miu SMU09W offers a similar elegant silhouette with a slightly more fashion-forward finish.

 

Tiffany TF2271

 

This frame fits perfectly into the quieter luxury styling seen throughout the sequel. Miranda wears it across both New York and Milan scenes, proving how versatile a refined frame can look in different settings.

Nigel continues to be the character most associated with eyewear in the franchise. His glasses remain smart, distinctive, and ultra luxurious throughout the film.

 

Tom Ford Private Collection TF5883-P

 

This now-discontinued Tom Ford frame features a strong rectangular silhouette that suits Nigel’s sharp yet approachable personality perfectly.

If you like this look, the Tom Ford TF6118-B Blue Light offers a similar shape with a slightly more modern edge.

Even Nigel’s sunglasses feel thoughtful and refined. This rare Tom Ford Private Collection style (now discontinued) was crafted from genuine buffalo horn, giving it a unique texture and luxurious finish.

 

 

Final Thoughts

One of the best things about the eyewear in The Devil Wears Prada 2 is how wearable it actually feels. While the fashion is certainly elevated, many of the glasses and sunglasses seen throughout the film can easily fit into everyday life; whether you prefer polished optical frames, bold cat-eyes, or timeless sunglasses.

At Fashion Eyewear, we love finding styles that feel inspired by fashion and film while still being practical, comfortable, and easy to wear long after the credits roll.
