‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Is Built Around a Radical Hook: That Moviegoers Care About the Future of Magazines. But Maybe They Do

• The big question ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ is asking.
• Remembering Miranda Priestly’s iconic speech.
• Our thoughts on the future of fashion magazines.

Finally, some news about ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ that has us all buzzing! The rumored sequel is apparently built around a truly radical idea. It thinks we, the moviegoers, still really care about the future of magazines.

Remember that iconic, juiciest speech in the first film? Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep in an Oscar-worthy performance, just shut Andy down. Andy, in her dressed-down outfit, thought her choices were her own. Oh no.

Miranda explained how Andy’s ‘cerulean sweater’ wasn’t just a random blue. It was a carefully chosen shade, a ripple from high fashion. This entire visual style, this specific aesthetic, trickled all the way down. Miranda, with her frosty hair and even frostier soul, made us see it.

Every color. Every fabric. The whole vibe. It was all decided for you, long before you picked it out. The original movie really showed us how fashion dictates so much. So, for a sequel to suggest we’re still captivated by the world of glossy pages and powerful editrixes? It’s a huge bet. But maybe they’re on to something.

Speaking of callbacks, we just wrote about all the nods to the first film you might spot in the sequel. You can check it out here: From ‘floral springs’ to ‘cerulean sweater’, all the callbacks to part 1.

Our Take

Honestly? We think this isn’t so far-fetched. Magazines, even in our fast-paced digital world, still hold a certain magic. They’re a visual feast. A little escape.

The drama. The power plays. And, of course, the incredible fashion on display. All of it. We absolutely love seeing that vibrant, sometimes cutthroat, aesthetic unfold on screen. It’s a window into a world we secretly adore.

So, yes. ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2,’ you just might be right. We still care. A lot.
