Meryl Streep debuts first ever Glambot moment at ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ premiere

The sequel reunites the original stars as the cast celebrated the film with fans and media at high profile Tokyo event

Meryl Streep delivered a memorable red carpet moment at the Tokyo premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, where the legendary actor participated in her very first Glambot video. The event marked a stylish reunion with co star Anne Hathaway, who also appeared at the premiere as excitement builds around the sequel to the beloved 2006 fashion comedy drama.

The premiere took place in Tokyo with a large crowd of fans and international media gathered to celebrate the film’s launch. During the red carpet event, Streep stepped in front of the Glambot camera, a specialised high speed robotic camera system popularised by E! Entertainment that captures celebrities in dramatic slow motion as they pose for glamorous video clips.

While the Glambot has become a staple of modern red carpet culture at major events like The Academy Awards and Met Gala, Streep had never previously participated in the viral trend. Her debut quickly drew attention online, with fans sharing the moment across social media platforms and praising the actor’s elegant and playful pose.

The Tokyo premiere also brought together key cast members from the franchise, including Hathaway, who originally played aspiring journalist Andy Sachs opposite Streep’s iconic fashion editor Miranda Priestly in the first film. Their reunion on the red carpet sparked nostalgia among fans who have long associated the pair with the film’s sharp dialogue and memorable fashion moments.

The original The Devil Wears Prada was based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger and became a major box office success upon release. The story followed a young assistant navigating the demanding world of fashion publishing under the intimidating leadership of Miranda Priestly. Streep’s performance earned widespread acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.

More than two decades later, the sequel revisits the characters in a changed media landscape. While plot details have been kept largely under wraps, the film is expected to explore how the fashion industry and traditional print publishing have evolved in the digital age.

The Tokyo premiere serves as one of the major international promotional stops for the film, reflecting the franchise’s global popularity. Fans lined the red carpet hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars and celebrate the return of one of the most iconic fashion themed films in modern cinema.
