For fashion lovers, The Devil Wears Prada has always been more than just a film, it has been a cultural archive of unforgettable style moments. Now, fans will have the opportunity to own a piece of that legacy.
Costumes and accessories featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2 are set to be auctioned through Christie’s, with proceeds supporting two organizations closely tied to the film’s central themes: the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).
The online auction will run from September 1 to September 15, while a public exhibition showcasing the pieces will be open at Christie’s New York from September 8 to September 13, giving fashion enthusiasts and collectors a chance to see the iconic looks up close before bidding begins.
A Wardrobe Filled with Hollywood and High Fashion
The auction features garments worn on screen by an impressive ensemble cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Simone Ashley, and Lady Gaga.
Among the standout lots are:
- A Gabriela Hearst dress worn by Anne Hathaway
- A dramatic Dries Van Noten tassel jacket worn by Meryl Streep
- Multiple Dolce & Gabbana runway looks featured during the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation
- Lady Gaga’s striking feathered dress designed by Bad Binch TongTong
- Emily Blunt’s elegant Dior suit worn during a memorable scene featuring Donatella Versace
Rather than simply serving as movie costumes, these pieces reflect the work of some of the world’s most celebrated luxury fashion houses, making the auction equally significant for film memorabilia collectors and couture enthusiasts.
Fashion with a Purpose
Beyond the glamour, the auction also carries a charitable mission. Funds raised will support the Committee to Protect Journalists, which works globally to defend press freedom and protect journalists facing threats, alongside the Council of Fashion Designers of America, an organization dedicated to nurturing American fashion through education, mentorship, business support, and emerging talent initiatives.
The causes align naturally with the film itself, which has always explored the intersection of journalism, publishing, creativity, and the fashion industry.
Supporting the Next Generation of Fashion
Speaking about the initiative, Steven Kolb, Chief Executive Officer and President of the CFDA, emphasized that the auction allows audiences to celebrate fashion while contributing to meaningful causes.
He noted that the sale gives bidders an opportunity to own part of one of fashion’s most beloved cinematic franchises while simultaneously supporting organizations that champion both journalism and fashion.
Kolb also acknowledged Disney and the film’s producers for recognizing the CFDA’s efforts in strengthening the industry’s future through mentorship programs, educational resources, and initiatives such as the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, which helps emerging designers build sustainable careers.
When Cinema Becomes Collectible Fashion
Few films have influenced popular fashion quite like The Devil Wears Prada. Since the original film’s release, its costumes have become part of fashion history, inspiring designers, stylists, and audiences alike.
The sequel continues that tradition, blending luxury labels, contemporary designers, and memorable character styling into a wardrobe that extends far beyond the screen.
With names like Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Lady Gaga attached to the collection, and pieces created by some of the industry’s most prestigious fashion houses, the Christie’s auction is expected to attract collectors from around the world.
For fans, it’s more than an opportunity to purchase a costume. It’s a chance to own a small piece of one of cinema’s most influential fashion legacies while contributing to causes that continue to shape the future of both journalism and design.
