When the first trailer for the sequel to the 2006 film dropped online this week, it was described as a cozy sweater for fans. The core cast is back: Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Stanley Tucci as Nigel and Emily Blunt as Emily. The trailer offers few plot details; Andy appears to be a features editor at Runway, and much about the story remains murky.

Instead, the footage leans on familiar markers of the original film and its characters. That includes Miranda’s sunglasses, Dior fashions and chauffeured black cars, plus nods to today’s media with a shot of people scrolling on Instagram and a Met-Gala–inspired scene with banners reading 'Spring Florals.' Costumes and small details — a scarf that hints at cerulean and references to previous footwear — emphasize the trailer’s appeal to longtime viewers.
