SPOILER WARNING: This story discusses plot details for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” in theaters now.

After reading the script for “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” costume designer Molly Rogers had one thought, “I have to put the cerulean blue sweater in 2.”

It was the first call she put into 20th Century Studios, and director David Frankel agreed. It seemed right that the sweater would be honored after the original’s monologue about Andy’s basic cable-knit sweater evolved into its own cultural moment.

Meryl Streep, as Runway’s editor-in-chief Miranda, Emily (Emily Blunt) and Andy (Anne Hathaway) effortlessly slip back into their roles, and Rogers was eager to dress them knowing there are high expectations.

She knew where to put the cerulean sweater. She also knew the Chanel boots had their place in the first film, and didn’t need to be revisited for the sequel.

Rogers worked closely with Streep, Blunt and Hathaway to explore where their characters would be and what their clothes needed to say and express in the world of Runway Magazine in 2026.

Here Rogers breaks down key looks from the film.

• Emily Charlton, Girl Boss

  

  Emily is now in a senior position at Dior, and she revels in the power she yields.
  
  Meanwhile, Andy is back at Runway as the magazine’s features editor after it comes under fire for endorsing a fashion brand whose items are built in a sweatshop. With advertising dollars under threat, Miranda, Nigel (Stanley Tucci), and Andy come face to face with Emily.
  
  This look was bought in a secondhand store. Rogers says, “We tried very hard to wear that blouse backwards. She was going to turn in that hallway and waltz them back to her office, and that’s when I wanted you to see that Dior brand on that shirt.”
  
  But it didn’t work out. So, she wore it front ways.
