Hold onto your stilettos—Lucy Liu is officially stepping into the high-pressure world of The Devil Wears Prada 2. The Elementary and Charlie’s Angels star is one of the latest big names to join the much-anticipated sequel, marking a powerful addition to a cast already stacked with icons like Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
Known for her commanding screen presence and effortless style, Liu is expected to bring a fresh, sharp energy to the film’s ever-evolving fashion landscape. While details about her role remain tightly under wraps, fans are already speculating she could be playing a fierce rival, a fashion mogul, or a power player navigating the cutthroat industry alongside—or against—Miranda Priestly.
Joining Liu in the new cast lineup are The Sex Lives of College Girls star Pauline Chalamet, The Leftovers’ Justin Theroux, The Office’s B.J. Novak, and stage talents like Conrad Ricamora and Helen J. Shen. Simone Ashley from Bridgerton and comedian Caleb Hearon also add to the ensemble, signaling a bold, dynamic direction for the sequel.
The storyline picks up years after the original, with Miranda (Streep) facing the decline of traditional magazine publishing, while her former assistant Emily (Blunt) is now a powerful executive at a luxury ad agency. With high fashion, personal grudges, and industry shakeups on the horizon, Liu’s role is set to be anything but ordinary.
Production kicked off in late June, and with stars like Lucy Liu onboard, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver both style and substance—plus a new generation of unforgettable characters.
