Meryl Streep is bringing the world of high fashion from the screen to the auction room.
The acclaimed actress has teamed up with Christie’s to auction a selection of iconic looks featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2, turning some of the film’s most anticipated fashion moments into an opportunity to support important causes.
The auction will take place from September 1 to 15 during New York Fashion Week, with proceeds benefiting the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
For fans of the original The Devil Wears Prada, the collaboration is particularly significant. Streep’s portrayal of Miranda Priestly helped establish the character as one of cinema’s most recognizable fashion figures, while the franchise itself became deeply connected to the world of luxury fashion and editorial culture.
The upcoming auction continues that relationship, offering collectors and fashion enthusiasts an opportunity to own pieces associated with the highly anticipated sequel.
Among the designers represented in the auction are Dries Van Noten, Schiaparelli and Gabriela Hearst, three names celebrated for their distinctive approaches to craftsmanship, design and modern luxury.
The inclusion of these designers further highlights the role fashion plays in The Devil Wears Prada 2, where clothing is once again expected to serve as more than just costume. The looks help shape characters, establish moods and reflect the changing dynamics of the fashion industry portrayed in the film.
Beyond the excitement surrounding the clothes themselves, the auction also carries a philanthropic purpose. Supporting the CFDA connects the initiative directly to the American fashion industry and its creative community, while proceeds directed to the Committee to Protect Journalists will support an organization dedicated to defending press freedom and journalists around the world.
The partnership between Streep and Christie’s therefore brings together Hollywood, fashion, philanthropy and journalism in one highly anticipated event.
With the auction scheduled to coincide with New York Fashion Week, attention is expected to be firmly focused on the pieces as fashion insiders, collectors and fans descend on New York.
For The Devil Wears Prada fans, the opportunity goes beyond simply acquiring a memorable costume. These pieces represent a connection to a franchise that helped make fashion an essential part of contemporary pop culture.
As September approaches, the auction is poised to become one of the more distinctive fashion moments surrounding New York Fashion Week, combining cinematic history with designer craftsmanship and charitable giving.
