Where was 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' filmed? A look at the real locations in the film sequel

The long-awaited film sequel revisits the fast-paced world of fashion and media, following Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, and her former boss Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep.

Much like the original 2006 film, the sequel leans on real-world locations to bring the story to life - a move that could once again drive tourism interest across the city.

Check out some of the key filming spots that are already drawing attention.

One of the most recognizable locations in the film is 1221 Avenue of the Americas, a 51-story tower in Midtown Manhattan that served as the exterior for the fictional Runway magazine headquarters in the original 2006 film.

Located between 48th and 49th Streets along Sixth Avenue, the building appears in key scenes where characters enter the office.

Filming for "The Devil Wears Prada 2" returned to the site in July 2025, drawing tourists and NYC residents, as scenes were shot outside the building and in its lobby.

Another notable New York City location tied to the original film is the iconic Smith & Wollensky steakhouse on 49th Street and Third Avenue.

During production last summer, fans gathered nearby, taking photos and videos as scenes were filmed.

A Runway magazine-themed pop-up at 20 Hudson Yards in April 2026 drew numerous fans - featuring a huge red stiletto display.

The restaurant was also featured in the series "Love Story" - further adding to its appeal for visitors.
