The Devil Wears Prada 2
Twenty years is a long time in fashion — long enough for an entire industry to be upended by algorithms and influencers. So, what has fashion editor from hell Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) been up to? Turns out, plenty.
Andrea ‘Andy’ Sachs (Anne Hathaway) has graduated from Miranda’s scrappy assistant to a respected journalist at a New York newspaper. But at an event meant to honour her work, Andy instead learns her newspaper has folded. Suddenly, she’s unemployed.
Enter an unlikely lifeline: Runway’s owners lure Andy back into the fold — not as an assistant this time, but as a features editor, someone to inject some journalistic credibility into a magazine fighting for relevance. The catch? Miranda is still there, and she isn’t thrilled about Andy’s re-emergence.
Andy’s hard-hitting articles don’t exactly set the internet on fire or move the readership needle. But Miranda’s old tricks aren't cutting it either. Can Runway’s odd-couple leadership save the magazine before it becomes yesterday’s news?
Besides Hathaway and Streep, other members of the original cast also return for this follow-up: Emily Blunt reprises her role as Emily Charlton, now a bona fide luxury fashion executive, and Stanley Tucci is back as the ever-dependable Nigel Kipling.
