It is the star-studded cast list that has undoubtedly made the most news, with a host of major A-list names signing on for the project.

Anne Hathaway is of course returning to play the lead role of Andy Sachs. And so too is the original Runway magazine team - Meryl Streep as editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, Emily Blunt, as Emily Charlton, Priestly's overworked assistant, and Stanley Tucci as creative director Nigel Kipling. Not to mention Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Elias-Clarke.

However, the sequel will also see some major cast changes, with Adrien Grenier, who previously played Andy Sachs' boyfriend Nate, confirmed not to be returning to the franchise.

According to sources, Nate's storyline tied up naturally in the first film and won't be progressing into the second, with a new love interest officially cast for Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
