With the highly anticipated Devil Wears Prada 2 landing in 2026, the fashion world is buzzing again. As Vogue, couture houses, and trend forecasters prepare for a resurgence of Miranda Priestly-level glamour, there’s one unsung accessory we think deserves its own spotlight:
Socks.
Yes...men’s socks, women’s socks, cool socks, cosy socks, cotton socks, even elevated dress socks. Because if the first Devil Wears Prada taught us anything, it’s that fashion begins with precision, detail, and craftsmanship…right down to the toes.
And trust us, even Runway royalty wouldn’t step out without the perfect pair.
Fashion Starts at the Feet: What Devil Wears Prada Got Right
In the original 2006 film, the wardrobe was iconic; the coats, boots, belts, clutches, statement layers, and immaculate tailoring. But look closely, and you’ll spot something important:
Every look was perfectly grounded with socks and hosiery that matched the mood, the outfit, and the scene.
-
Think of Andy’s makeover montage: the high boots and heels she rotates through all rely on sleek, comfortable socks to make the shoes wearable for a full day in the Vogue offices.
-
Nigel’s flawless styling moments? Behind the scenes, fashion editors swear by premium dress socks to stay comfortable from shoot to shoot.
-
Even Miranda’s razor-sharp silhouettes demand socks that never sag, bunch, or clash.
They may not be the stars of the frame, but they’re critical to the comfort, fit, and elegance of every outfit.
Devil Wears Prada 2: What We Expect (and Where Socks Come In)
With the sequel reportedly diving deeper into the state of fashion today; sustainability, digital couture, and streetwear blending with luxury, we expect to see a mix of bold and minimalistic footwear moments.
And none of those looks are complete without the right socks.
1. Street-lux looks?
Expect cool socks...bold patterns, rich colours, confident contrast. The kind of socks that turn sneakers into a statement.
2. Elevated office and editorial fashion?
Bring on the dress socks: refined, soft, perfectly weighted. The sort that editors wear when racing between fashion shows, presentations, and late-night deadlines.
3. Clean, modern minimalism?
Enter the power of cotton socks in crisp blacks, whites, greys, and neutrals. Soft, breathable, endlessly wearable; just the way contemporary fashion leans.
4. Off-duty Vogue-staff energy?
Cosy cashmere-style winter knits, or as we like to call them: cosy socks with taste! Perfect for styling meetings, moodboarding, or a rare quiet morning with coffee.
If Devil Wears Prada 2 wants to capture the real behind-the-scenes fashion world, these sock styles will absolutely make an appearance...on camera or in spirit.
What Socks Would the Characters Wear Today? A Jemsox-Style Breakdown
Let’s have some fun. Here’s what we think the main characters would choose from the Jemsox collections:
Miranda Priestly
Minimal, immaculate black dress socks, luxurious cotton, flawless fit, zero compromise. She’d likely have multiples, all identical, all perfect.
Nigel
Cool socks with personality: deep colours, striking patterns, something that whispers style but never screams. Nigel-level flair deserves premium comfort.
Andy Sachs
Now evolved and confident, she’d choose cotton socks in elevated colours: soft blues, forest greens, burgundy - something versatile enough for both office wear and creative shoots.
Emily (Paris-obsessed as ever)
A curated drawer of cosy socks for at-home recovery between fashion week events and sharp, bright cool socks for when she needs to strut past security at Runway.
The Real Fashion Secret: Runway Style Starts With the Basics
Whether you’re on a movie set, a photoshoot, or simply dressing for work, comfort breeds confidence. Socks prevent blisters, control temperature, manage moisture, and give shoes the perfect fit - no matter how chic or impractical the footwear may be.
That’s why stylists quietly rely on high-quality cotton, breathable blends, and socks that hold their shape. And it’s exactly why the right pair, yes, even something as humble as a sock, can make or break a look.
