The taxi snapshot shows a passenger holding a phone out the window, filming the scene. The fleeting clip became the most-discussed beat from the trailer.
The brief gaffe is more charming than damaging, and many called it a reminder of how closely fans now scrutinize every frame.
Returning stars and a notable absence from the sequel

- Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor Miranda Priestly.
- Emily Blunt is back as Emily, now elevated to a rival executive role.
- Stanley Tucci reprises his role as Nigel, the magazine’s art director.
But Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s on-screen boyfriend Nate Cooper in the first film, is not part of the new cast.
Grenier has said he would have liked to return. He also suggested the character’s online reputation may have influenced the decision.
Nate Cooper and the internet’s reaction
When the first movie came out, many viewers later criticized Nate as unsupportive. That backlash followed the actor.
Grenier has acknowledged the critiques. He reflected on the character’s flaws and suggested those perceptions might explain his absence from the sequel.
How the sequel connects to the original story
The new film arrives roughly two decades after the 2006 release turned into a cultural touchstone.
Both movies trace part of their inspiration to Lauren Weisberger’s 2004 novel, based on her time working in fashion publishing.
The story still centers on Runway magazine and the high-stakes world of fashion editors and assistants.
Key details viewers should know before the premiere
- Release date: the film opens in theaters on May 1.
- Andy’s career arc: Sachs has moved up to a features editor role.
- Expect returning dynamics: Miranda’s power, workplace rivalries, and the fashion industry backdrop remain central.
Audiences will see the trailer’s tiny mistake when the movie debuts, and many seem eager to catch every detail on the big screen.
