Havaianas launches Devil Wears Prada 2 flip-flops for fashion-loving fans

Havaianas has leaned straight into Devil Wears Prada fandom with a limited-edition flip-flop collaboration that turns a sharp fashion joke into something you can wear to the beach, the airport or the office coffee run. The brand’s wink is simple: if it’s not heels, it’s Havaianas.

That lands especially well because The Devil Wears Prada 2 is being treated like a full fashion event, not just a movie. The sequel opens exclusively in theaters on May 1, 2026, and brings back Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci under David Frankel’s direction. In a crowded promotional push that also includes other consumer-brand tie-ins, Havaianas has staked out the side of the campaign that feels most giftable: playful, recognizable and easy to wear.

The collection itself is the kind of collab that makes sense for someone who still quotes the original film and wants the reference to show up in her real life. Havaianas calls it a fashion-forward drop that brings together “two fashion icons,” and the design backs that up with puffed straps and chunkier soles rather than a basic logo slap. The standout entry point is the Women’s Slim Square The Devil Wears Prada 2 Flip Flops at $40, which is the sweet spot if you want a funny under-$50 add-on gift. The Women’s Over Puffed Flip Flop, at $60, reads more like a collector’s piece or a summer staple for someone who wants the louder, more statement-making version.

Havaianas also has the kind of origin story that gives the collab a little more substance than your average novelty drop. The company was created in Brazil in 1962 and was inspired by Japanese Zori sandals, replacing woven straw with rubber and turning the rice-grain sole into its signature. That heritage matters here: the Prada sequel may supply the fandom, but Havaianas supplies the comfort-first credibility. For the right recipient, this is the rare pop-culture gift that works on two levels, as a joke for the movie lover and as an actual sandal she will reach for long after the theater lights come up.
