The summer blockbuster season is almost here, and one of the big movies heading into cinemas this year is the comedy-drama sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. The movie – from director David Frankel – stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, and picks up the story two decades on, for more office antics and fashion fun.
Teasing the new movie, 20th Century, said: “Almost 20 years after making their iconic turn as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel—Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation.”
When The Devil Wears Prada 2 arrives in cinemas it is expected to be a popular release. The original was a big hit, both critically and commercially, and there is a built-in fan base primed and ready for the sequel.
But will all the members of the family, or the fan base, be able to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the cinema? If your fashion-conscious teenager is interested in seeing the film, will it be suitable their eyes?
Let’s take a look at the age rating.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 UK age rating
In the UK, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been awarded a ‘12A’ certificate by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The film has received this rating due to “infrequent strong language”.
In the UK ‘12A’ certificate movies are deemed best suited for audiences aged 12 or above. However, children below the age of 12 can watch a ’12A’ in a UK cinema, as long as they are accompanied by a parent or adult guardian, so technically anyone can watch the movie.
Based on this rating, the BBFC believe The Devil Wears Prada 2 is most suited to audiences aged over 12, which means it is fine for teenagers (i.e. 13 onwards).
It’s worth noting, the original Devil Wears Prada was given a ‘PG’ certificate in the UK back in 2006, meaning the BBFC believe this 2026 sequel is either aimed slightly older this time around, or it fits into slightly different criteria for the purposes of certification. However, it’s only a slight certificate increase for this sequel, and it makes no difference as to whether it is suitable for a teen.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 US age rating
In the US, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been rated ‘PG-13’ by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPA). The Devil Wears Prada 2 has received this rating for strong language and some suggestive references.
In the US, ‘PG-13’ rated movies mean that some material may not be suitable for children under the age of 13. The MPA suggests parents are urged to be cautious.
However, based on the rating, the MPA believe The Devil Wears Prada 2 is suitable for teens.
It’s also worth noting, the original Devil Wears Prada was also given a ‘PG-13’ rating back in 2006. So, if you want to be sure of the sequel’s suitability, it might be worth taking a look at the original before your teen heads off to watch the new one.
