The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer is everywhere ahead of the sequel’s premiere next month — but an out-of-place detail appears to have slipped through the editors’ cracks.
An eagle-eyed fan pointed out that in the film’s final teaser, an onlooker appears to have crashed an iconic shot of Anne Hathaway — in character as journalist Andrea Sachs — strolling at a crosswalk.
In the trailer, released Tuesday, a woman is seen hanging out of a taxi window behind Hathaway and recording the A-lister with her phone.
“This girl having her phone just wide out the window in the trailer is frying me,” one person wrote on X with a screengrab of the error.
Some fans were more forgiving, arguing that the flub could potentially fall within the canon of the new sequel.
“Because that’s Andy Sachs. A million girls would kill for that job!” one person wrote on X. Another agreed, “but that’s very tourist in NYC core.”
One X user joked that the scene-crasher might have been cast in the “role of paparazzi.”
Concerns about the movie’s quality have already been raised due to another eyebrow-raising moment in the trailer: a shot that appeared to show an internet meme of Meryl Streep’s character from the first Devil Wears Prada movie, which would not exist in the movie’s cinematic universe.
The plot of the New York City-based sequel is largely being kept under wraps, but Hathaway’s character will once again meet the formidable magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Streep and based on former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In addition to Hathaway and Streep, actors Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are resuming their roles from the original movie, which became a cult classic shortly after its release in 2006. Newcomers to the franchise include Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley.
Lady Gaga was also spotted on the set of the film, suggesting she has a secret cameo, and Jenna Bush Hager’s co-anchor Craig Melvin accidentally let it slip on live television that she would be appearing in the movie.
Amid the anticipation for the returning faces and new characters, Adrian Grenier — who played Andy Sachs’ long-term boyfriend in the original film — was snubbed from the reboot, which the actor theorized was due to the widespread dislike of the character.
