Cult-favorite film The Devil Wears Prada is officially returning with a sequel, and it’s sure to bring more noteworthy looks with it. Played by actors Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, characters Miranda Priestly, Andrea Sachs, and Emily Charlton wore outfits that are still referenced by movie — and fashion — lovers to this day.
