Red stilettos and cerulean knit sweaters are popular as moviegoers prepare for the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 next month.
The long-awaited sequel, starring Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, will be released in theaters on Friday, May 1st. There was a lot of fanfare leading up to the release, with merchandise ranging in theme from handbag-shaped popcorn buckets to over-the-top graphic T-shirts.
Of course, movie theater chains are piggybacking on the film’s upcoming release, but other big retailers like Walmart, Target, and Old Navy are also releasing their own “The Devil Wears Prada 2” collections.

AMC Theatre, Cinemark and Fandango popcorn wallets
AMC Theaters, Cinemark, and Fandango all released bright red handbag-shaped popcorn buckets that have already created a buzz in the movie-going community. Shaped like a satchel-style bag, the bucket comes with two charms, including The Devil Wears Prada’s iconic pitchfork-heel stilettos.
At AMC, popcorn buckets will be available on opening night, April 30, as part of a bag and blanket combo that includes a large popcorn and drink or a popcorn can with large popcorn, two bag charms and two drinks, according to the AMC Theaters website. As of April 10, prices for the bag and blanket combo are not listed online.
As of April 10, Cinemark had not announced when the popcorn bucket would be available or how much it would cost, and Fandango had already sold out.
In addition to the popular popcorn buckets, the companies are also offering limited edition sunglasses, promotional runway magazines, blankets, wine tumblers, and more.

Walmart has launched the ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ scoop collection as part of its contemporary clothing brand. Inspired by the franchise’s “timeless style influences,” the collection marries editorial fashion with affordable, wearable design.
Prices range from $16 to $54, and the collection includes tailored blazers, suit pants, denim sets, structured dresses, red pumps and statement belts, according to a Walmart news release.
The Devil Wears Prada Scoop collection will be available in stores and on the Walmart website on April 20th. These items are currently available for pre-order.
Cerulean cable knit sweater (old navy)
Old Navy jumped on the sequel hype with a line that included a cerulean cable-knit sweater. The $50 top features a small red stiletto with the franchise’s pitchfork heel embroidered on the chest.
In the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) insists that the color of her assistant Andy’s (Anne Hathaway) “lumpy blue” sweater is “not just blue. It’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s cerulean.”
So what exactly is Cerulean? Art company Windsor & Newton describes the color as “a perfect shade of sky blue”, “a bright, pure translucent pigment with a green tint”.
Target graphic tees, cardigans, and pajamas
Target also launched an extensive “The Devil Wears Prada” line, including graphic T-shirts, work tops and pants, and pajama pants featuring popular lines from the 2006 film. The products range in price from about $15 to $40 and are available on Target’s website.
