The Devil Wears Prada 2 Tokyo meeting and social media buzz

KJo wrote, "This is not a caption. This is a confession. I am singularly obsessed and inspired by the unmatchable brilliance of Meryl Streep. In many ways she has been my guru in the art of acting & portraying characters across cinema!!

I have watched The Devil Wears Prada no less than 47 times.
I have quoted it at dinner tables, in edit suites and in board meetings (no kidding!) So when I tell you that standing next to HER & them today, I felt the ground shift, please believe me. I tried very hard to be calm and composed but here's a another confession - my knees were RATTLING!

They were both so warm and welcoming. This image is going in my will. Stay tuned, there's so much more...because I had a chat with the favourites of the season. OH and one more thing...that's all (sic)."

In one image, Karan Johar’s flair for drama and couture meets the sharp style world that The Devil Wears Prada built. The photograph places the performer behind the iconic fashion boss and the on-screen assistant who grew under that power-dressing gaze.

The meeting taps into nostalgia for the original film while matching the scale of its global reach and glamour. It signals how The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already sparking conversations across fashion, cinema and culture, long before audiences step into cinemas in 2026.
