THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2: THE MILANESE EASTER EGG HANDPICKED BY SET DECORATION FEATURING VISUALS BY RAIMONDO ROSSI
The magazine Milan Weekly makes a cameo appearance in 2026’s most anticipated sequel.
The countdown has officially begun. July 29, 2026, will mark the highly anticipated streaming debut of The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Disney+, a sequel that has quite literally shattered box offices worldwide. Official data from Box Office Mojo paints a picture of a colossal triumph: a theatrical run grossing a staggering $685,597,585 globally, with $220 million raked in from the US market and over $465 million from the rest of the world. While the global public celebrates these commercial records, fueled by a feverish excitement for the return of Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs, my own attention—as a lifelong, passionate devotee of cinema and fashion—is already laser-focused on the visual details that promise to cement this film as an absolute cult classic.
What caught the eye of sharp insiders like myself was an insider tip that bounced straight from across the Atlantic: the authoritative American publication The Norfolk Daily News was the first outlet to spot and publish a crucial detail hidden in one of the film’s key scenes. This scoop quickly gained official traction. A quick cross-check on the Trivia section of IMDb—the ultimate global encyclopedia for cinema and entertainment, a true milestone, and the "Wikipedia" for industry professionals and cinephiles alike—confirms that this piece of trivia has been officially logged, further proving how much buzz this detail is generating.
The scene in question takes place in Milan, during the high-tension moments leading up to Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated show, written into the plot as Runway’s premier flagship event. In that moment, the director's camera glides sinuously through Andy’s (Anne Hathaway) hotel room, framing the cover of the magazine Milan Weekly. It is a seemingly fleeting detail, but one of immense artistic value: the film's Set Decoration department, spearheaded in Italy by the renowned designer Sandro Picarozzi, chose to feature a magazine entirely designed and visually curated by visual artist Raimondo Rossi, also known as Ray Morrison.
This inclusion carries even greater significance when analyzing the film's visual architecture. Throughout the movie, the iconic Runway (the fictional publication at the heart of the plot, which for this sequel has become a fully realized, physical print magazine) absolutely dominates the screen. No other editorial publications appear; the sole exception granted by the director, the only real-world magazine to make a cameo in the film, is the visual creation curated by Rossi and co-founded with transcultural researcher Alptekin Top (source: The Norfolk Daily News).
The art department’s decision to rely on Rossi’s aesthetic and style highlights the obsessive attention to detail and exclusivity that the production aimed for in recreating an authentic, sophisticated editorial atmosphere for this second chapter.
Amid Milanese glamour, pop music, and stellar box office earnings that have already etched this franchise into history,The Devil Wears Prada 2 proves—even before hitting streaming platforms—that in the world of Runway, absolutely nothing is left to chance. And for style enthusiasts like us, the hunt for fashion Easter eggs has only just begun.
