The Devil Wears Prada 2 Sparks Revival of the T-Bar Necklace
Following the New York City world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 (20th April 2026), we are seeing a clear jewellery trend emerge: the return of the T-bar necklace as one of the defining silhouettes for 2026.
Fashion-led cinema has always shaped how audiences dress, and early signals suggest this moment is no different. Google searches for “T-bar necklace” are already up and predicted to accelerate further as the film continues its global rollout and styling moments circulate online.
In the film, Anne Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs is seen styling a gold T-bar necklace layered with pearls, a combination that reflects a wider shift toward intentional, reference-led dressing and understated statement jewellery.
“The influence of fashion-led cinema on jewellery is immediate, and we are seeing that again with The Devil Wears Prada 2,” says Arwa Hassan, co-founder and style director at PRYA. “What stands out is how quickly audiences translate on-screen styling into real-life choices. Andy Sachs pairing a gold T-bar necklace with pearls captures a balance of refinement and individuality that feels very current.”
“The T-bar sits between heritage and modernity. It began as a functional design detail in 19th-century jewellery, but today it reads as sculptural and intentional. That contrast is what makes it relevant again. We are seeing a move toward jewellery with more structure and meaning, and the T-bar fits that shift perfectly.”
From Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada 2 to Taylor Swift’s continued embrace of the silhouette, the T-bar necklace has re-established itself as a modern icon. Minimal, sculptural and rich in heritage, it proves that true classics always return.
This gorgeous Willow T-Bar Necklace reflects this evolution, designed in 18k gold plated and sterling silver finishes and created for everyday wear with a sculptural, modern toggle detail.
Other T-bar styles we love include the Kiara T-Bar Necklace and Lily T-Bar Necklace, offering alternative interpretations of the silhouette for layering or standalone styling.
