Miranda Priestly’s sartorial armor is officially heading to the auction block. In a move that bridges the gap between cinematic zeitgeist and high-stakes philanthropy, Christie’s New York has announced a blockbuster online auction featuring the screen-worn wardrobe of "The Devil Wears Prada 2."

A Cinematic Archive Unsealed

Conceived and championed by Meryl Streep herself, the upcoming sale will run from September 1 through September 15, 2026. The procurement of these iconic garments is not merely an exercise in nostalgia; it is a meticulously orchestrated charitable endeavor. All proceeds will directly benefit the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), specifically funneling into the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.

The Crown Jewels of Runway

Among the most coveted lots is the Gabriela Hearst Niki dress worn by Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs. In a brilliant stroke of cinematic authenticity, the garment will be auctioned complete with the accidental stain it acquired during a pivotal Hamptons scene in the film, carrying an estimate of $3,000 to $4,000.

Equally commanding is the Dries Van Noten tassel jacket donned by Streep’s Miranda Priestly during a blistering staff meeting at Runway magazine, estimated to garner between $4,000 and $6,000. For the ultimate collector, an Elsa Peretti bone cuff worn by Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton—a piece that retails for a staggering $107,000—will also cross the block.

Philanthropy Meets Pop Culture

"The need to defend press freedom has never been more urgent," stated Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of CPJ, highlighting the profound synergy between the film’s narrative and the auction’s beneficiaries. The initiative underscores a rare convergence where the glamour of the fashion industry actively sustains the vital, often perilous work of global journalism.
