With the teaser for The Devil Wears Prada 2 just dropped, we found ourselves glued to the screen - and not just for the killer heels or couture gowns. One accessory stood out above all: sunglasses. The pair that frame power, authority and style in motion.
At Retro Spectacle we're thrilled to explore how the sequel is setting the tone for eyewear fashion, and to show you how our own sunglasses reflect those bold trends.
What the Trailer Tells Us
The teaser opens with the click of red studded killer heels and smoky flashed of high-fashion. Then: Miranda Priestly appears, perfectly coiffed, signature white pixie and oversized black sunglasses in place.
Shortly after, Andy Sachs steps in - now more confident, more tailored and she too slides on a pair of black rectangular sunglasses in that elevator moment.
Media commentary highlights that while fashions have evolved, the "glamour never goes out of style".
From that we can surmise three key sunglasses trends emerging:
Oversized, commanding frames (Miranda Style)
Sleek, minimal dark lenses for the elevated assistant-turned-boss (Andy style)
Black or very dark frames and lenses, as a symbol of power, mystique and high fashion.

How to Style Them & Why They Work
Oversized black frames signal authority and visibility. They literally frame the face, making a statement. In the trailer, Miranda's sunglasses were a non-verbal statement of "I'm in charge".
Dark lenses with minimal frame suggest sophistication and evolution. Andy's move from assistant to power player is mirrored by, cleaner modern eyewear.
Details matter: Metallic accents, built in logos, fine materials, all reflect the high-fashion context of the sequel.
Colour palette: Stick to black, dark brown and gunmetal colours with a dark tint.

Stay ahead of the trend, stay iconic. Because, as the trailer shows us, fashion may evolve-but glamour never goes out of style.
