In The Devil Wears Prada 2, production designer Jess Gonchor has crafted a visually stunning sequel that expands on the original's themes of fashion and power. Set primarily in New York, the film redefines iconic spaces, such as Miranda Priestly’s office, which has been rebuilt to symbolize her enduring authority. Gonchor drew inspiration from National Geographic magazines to create a space that feels both grounded and imposing. The redesigned Runway newsroom is now nearly eight times larger, embracing a collaborative energy reminiscent of real-world magazine environments.

The film also ventures beyond Manhattan, utilizing authentic locations like Billy Joel’s mansion for Miranda's estate and the American Museum of Natural History for the Runway gala. In Milan, the production team constructed a meticulous replica of The Last Supper for a key scene, showcasing their commitment to detail. The film's design not only pays homage to the original but also reflects the dynamic nature of the fashion industry, presenting a visual landscape that is both nostalgic and forward-looking, emphasizing that while fashion evolves, thoughtful design remains timeless.
