The Devil Wears Prada 2

American Museum of Natural History 200 Central Park West New York NY 10024

The Runway gala was shot here, with the museum standing in for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the camera set on the front steps facing Central Park West. Production designer Jess Gonchor said the sequence needed the kind of crowd that gathers outside the Met Gala. The building is a public natural history museum on the western edge of Central Park, so the steps cost nothing to climb while the halls inside need a ticket. The staircase faces east toward the park and takes the light head on in the morning.

Waldorf Astoria New York 301 Park Avenue New York NY 10022

This is the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria at 301 Park Avenue, closed for six years of renovation and filmed just before it reopened. Production designer Jess Gonchor said the name The Devil Wears Prada is what got the permission. The hotel has since reopened, so today you pass through that lobby as a guest. Booking a room or a table is easier than lingering with a camera. It sits southeast of the natural history museum, across Central Park.

The Long Island Bar 110 Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn NY 11201

Andy's date scene was filmed here. The Long Island Bar is an old neighborhood bar at 110 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, on the corner where Atlantic meets Henry Street, and it is still open in 2026. It is a working bar rather than a sight, so there is no admission and the way to visit is to order a drink and sit down. It is across the river, which makes it the night stop after the two Manhattan locations.

Palazzo Parigi Hotel Grand Spa Corso di Porta Nuova 1 20121 Milano

The anchor of the Milan section. The hotel's own page names four scenes shot on site. Andy steps out of the elevator and meets Nigel in the marble staircase lobby, where she runs into Miranda. Nigel, at breakfast in Café Parigi, spots Andy walking past. After a fashion week event the two of them look into the Tiffany window in front of the hotel. Emily waits for Andy in a car at the main entrance. It is a working hotel at Corso di Porta Nuova 1, so the lobby and the café are for guests, while the Tiffany window and the entrance are plain to see from the street. The bedroom scenes were shot not here but at a mansion on Long Island.

Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera Via Brera 28 20121 Milano

The runway show stage. Italy's culture ministry portal confirms the shoot took place in the cortile d'onore of Palazzo di Brera, with Canova's bronze Napoleon as Mars (1810), which stands in the courtyard, left at the center of the catwalk. Lady Gaga's musical cameo belongs to the same sequence. Palazzo di Brera houses both the Accademia di Belle Arti and the Pinacoteca di Brera, and the courtyard is the passage into them, busy with students and visitors through the day. Seeing the paintings takes a separate Pinacoteca ticket.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II Piazza del Duomo 20123 Milano

Miranda's solitary night walk through the arcade was filmed here, as confirmed by the culture ministry portal. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a glass roofed arcade linking Piazza del Duomo with Piazza della Scala, and Milanese still use it as a shortcut. By day the crowd is thick enough to hide the mosaic floor; late at night, once the shops have closed, the passage empties out the way the film shows it. It is about ten minutes on foot from Brera, so the two fit into the same day.
