Just when you thought that no sequel could be better than the OG, Meryl has entered the conversation. Her supporting actor (besides the icons, Anne and Stanley) is New York City itself. Here is a glimpse of some of the familiar corners you may spot in the long awaited sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. It’s a mix of nostalgic New York classic locations, as well as a few extra spots you just might add to the “must-see” list.
American Museum of Natural History
Location: Manhattan, NYC
The American Museum of Natural History hosted one of the sequel’s biggest fashion set pieces. The production transformed the museum into a glamorous Runway magazine fundraiser, inspired by the Met Gala. Crews filmed the “Spring Florals” event there during summer 2025. Meryl Streep appeared on set as Miranda Priestly, wearing the character’s signature polished style. The location adds old New York prestige to the sequel’s fashion world. Of course, the museum’s grand staircases and dramatic halls also match Miranda’s commanding presence perfectly.
Dior Headquarters
Location: Manhattan, NYC
Featured heavily throughout the film as a core element, the building dominates the sequel’s trailer and immediately throws viewers back into Runway magazine’s ruthless orbit. Flashing cameras, couture gowns, and frantic assistants flood the space with controlled chaos. Editors and designers storm through the halls while celebrity guests crowd the entrances. The location captures the fashion industry’s intoxicating mix of glamour and exhaustion. Its towering interiors also give Miranda Priestly’s world an even sharper sense of power. Every scene there feels expensive, fast, and slightly intimidating.
Long Island Bar
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Long Island Bar brings a completely different energy to the sequel’s polished fashion chaos. Anne Hathaway shot scenes there with co-star Patrick Brammall while the pair danced outside beneath the bar’s glowing neon sign. The legendary Brooklyn spot has anchored the neighborhood for more than 50 years, and the film leans hard into that timeless charm. Instead of glossy gala rooms and towering fashion offices, the scene trades perfection for something warmer and messier. The bar’s vintage look gives Andy Sachs a rare moment that actually feels loose, spontaneous, and fun.
Marlow Bistro
Location: Upper East Side, Manhattan, NYC
Many fans will now be requesting the potato wedges on the second floor corner (table 68) of Marlow Bistro, after it appeared in The Devil Wears Prada 2. We all loved the moment that Andy and Emily shared over fries. And it makes total sense that Marlow appeared in this movie. The restaurant’s classic interior blends polished elegance with unmistakable New York energy. Large windows frame the city outside and keep the setting feeling busy, stylish, and alive. They don’t let you forget for even a second, that you are in the greatest city in the world. Every detail fits naturally into the film’s world of fashion, ambition, and expensive taste.
Pinacoteca di Brera
Location: Milan, Italy
For our art lovers, The Devil Wears Prada 2 used the museum for a scene to recreate the buzzing energy of Milan Fashion Week. Although this one might be arguably lesser known than the majority of museums throughout Milan, this space is home to timeless works of art such as, Hayez’s The Kiss, Giovanni Bellini’s Pietà, along with Gentile Bellini’s and Giovanni Bellini’s Saint Mark Preaching in Alexandria.
Villa Balbiano
Location: Lake Como, Italy
Known for its remarkable events and weddings, Villa Balbiano (part of The Heritage Collection) looks like the kind of place Miranda Priestly would casually rent for a weekend party that nobody else could afford. The sprawling estate sits directly on Lake Como and surrounds itself with absurdly beautiful waterfront views. Cast members reportedly arrived by boat during filming, which feels exactly right for this level of luxury. The villa already draws celebrity weddings, fashion events, and billionaire energy year-round. In the sequel, the location adds a dose of unapologetic European glamour to Runway’s world. Every frame there screams money, power, and impossible taste.
