Mumbai witnessed an extraordinary confluence of fashion and cinema as 20th Century Studios brought The Devil Wears Prada 2 to India in a grand, couture-laden celebration. Hosted at the iconic Jio World Plaza, the evening unfolded as a spectacle of elegance, setting the tone for one of the most anticipated film releases of the year.
With the film slated to hit Indian cinemas on May 1, the exclusive preview event transformed Mumbai into a global fashion capital for the night—where storytelling, craftsmanship, and luxury seamlessly intertwined.
Rahul Mishra’s Couture Tribute to an Iconic Legacy
At the heart of the evening was celebrated designer Rahul Mishra, who curated a breathtaking runway showcase inspired by the cultural legacy of The Devil Wears Prada. Known for placing Indian craftsmanship on the global map—including his historic presence at Paris Haute Couture Week—Mishra brought depth and narrative to each ensemble.
His collection reflected the essence of the film—ambition, identity, and the evolving language of fashion—while paying homage to the iconic characters portrayed by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.
In Mishra’s words, the film remains “a powerful reflection of how fashion shapes aspiration,” a sentiment that resonated through every look presented on the runway.

The showcase brought together a stellar lineup of legendary supermodels including Sheetal Mallar, Dipannita Sharma, Carol Gracias, and Ujjwala Raut, alongside contemporary faces of the industry.
This intergenerational casting created a compelling narrative—honouring the pioneers who placed Indian fashion on the global stage while embracing its future voices.
