The long awaited sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, has finally hit the big screen. The movie was premiered in New York on April 20th and officially went to theaters May 1st. Starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, this movie has managed to bring back all of the well known faces that made up the original, giving it the well-loved sharp humor and stylish drama that made it so iconic. The first movie that we all know so well focused on the life of Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway as she navigates the job of Miranda Priestly’s (Meryl Streep) assistant who is the ruthless chief of Runway Magazine. The character of Miranda is roughly based off of the real Anna Wintour, who is the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue magazine, and the movie features all of the fashion, models, and chick flick drama one would imagine takes place within the Vogue office. 

The sequel explores the changing fashion industry and the struggle of traditional magazines in the digital age. The magazine faces a change of leadership and the new man in charge does not have an eye for creativity or the love for fashion that is needed. Senior Addison Fleming mentioned that this “represented the lack of creativity as a result of AI” that is present in modern times. As a result, the funding for many departments has decreased greatly, causing a crisis for Andy and Miranda to have to work together to fix the company. Junior Emma Burke stated that her favorite parts of the movie were when “Andy and Miranda had to work together to make their friendship stronger” which forced Miranda to become more humanized. Critics and audiences have praised the movie for balancing nostalgia with the first movie with modern themes within businesses.
