For this post, I decided to change gears, from tech to fashion
Even though this blog usually focuses on technology and digital topics, there are moments when culture, film, and fashion take over global conversations in a way that feels just as influential. Right now, two of the biggest talking points are the return of The Devil Wears Prada story and the upcoming Met Gala 2026; both shaping what people will be talking about in fashion and entertainment this year.
The Devil Wears Prada Returns
The sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is officially coming, and it is already one of the most talked about films in fashion history. The movie is set to release in May 2026 in cinemas, before moving to streaming platforms later.
The original cast is returning, including:
- Meryl Streep
- Anne Hathaway
- Emily Blunt
- Stanley Tucci
The story continues years after the original film, showing how the fashion industry has changed in the modern digital world.
What the story is about (spoiler overview)
In the sequel, Miranda Priestly is still the powerful editor of Runway, but her control over the fashion media world is threatened as print magazines continue to decline. The industry is now dominated by social media, influencers, and digital branding.
Andy Sachs returns to the fashion world in a more experienced role, while Emily Charlton has evolved into a powerful figure in the luxury fashion business. The story focuses on rivalry, ambition, and how fashion power has shifted from magazines to digital platforms.
In short; it shows what happens when old fashion authority meets new digital influence.
The Met Gala 2026
While fashion is being explored in film, real life fashion will once again take over the world stage with the Met Gala on May 4, 2026.
Theme and dress code
- Theme: Costume Art
- Dress code: Fashion Is Art
On Monday, November 17, 2025, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the Costume Institute's spring 2026 exhibition, ''Costume Art''. The show, set to inaugurate the Met’s new, nearly 12,000-square-foot Condé M. Nast Galleries, will consider depictions of the dressed body from across the Met’s curatorial departments, pairing garments with art objects spanning some 5,000 years. This means outfits are expected to be highly creative, artistic, and dramatic; treating fashion like wearable artwork rather than just clothing.
Hosts and Co-Chairs
The official co-chairs for 2026 include:
- Beyoncé
- Nicole Kidman
- Venus Williams
- Anna Wintour
These names alone show how powerful the event is, bringing together music, film, sports, and fashion at the same table.
Famous expected attendees
While the full guest list is always secret until the night of the event, some of the most famous names expected to attend include:
- Adut Akech
- Angela Bassett
- Sinéad Burke
- Sabrina Carpenter
- Doja Cat
- Gwendoline Christie
- Misty Copeland

- Aimee Mullins
- Amy Sherald
- Tschabalala Self
- Sam Smith
- Teyana Taylor
- Anna Weyant
- Lauren Wasser

The Met Gala is known for mixing Hollywood stars, music icons, supermodels, and designers, making it one of the most exclusive red carpet events in the world. Additionally, as the lead sponsors for the 2026 gala and exhibition, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos will serve as honorary chairs.
Where to watch
The Met Gala is not a traditional public show, but the red carpet will be streamed live on Vogue’s official platforms and social media channels, starting in the evening on event day.
Final thoughts
Both The Devil Wears Prada sequel and the Met Gala 2026 show how fashion is no longer just about clothing; it is storytelling, identity, and cultural influence. One explores fashion through cinema, while the other brings it to life in real time on the red carpet.
Together, they show that fashion today exists everywhere; in movies, in media, and in the moments that define global culture.
