Meryl Streep Revives ‘Cerulean’ in Custom J.Crew Sweater for Devil Wears Prada 2 Press Tour

The wardrobe callback doubles as a marketing move that ties the sequel’s publicity to a buyable J.Crew knit.

Overview

  • Meryl Streep appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in a cerulean cable‑knit sweater while promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2, echoing the film’s famous color monologue.
  • J.Crew confirmed the sweater was a custom cashmere design by womenswear director Olympia Gayot in collaboration with Streep’s stylist, Micaela Erlanger.
  • The piece is a custom take on a J.Crew cashmere style that retails for about $198, turning a nostalgic reference into a shoppable tie‑in.
  • The press tour is leaning into coordinated callbacks, with stylist Ashley Afriyie sharing Anne Hathaway in a cerulean hoodie next to a Pantone chip labeled “ceruleo.”
  • Cerulean has wide cultural pull, with Pantone naming a cerulean blue its 2000 Color of the Year and a recent Crayola study ranking it the top color in 46 U.S. states.
