The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) Review

Twenty years later Andy Sachs is about to reunite with Miranda Priestly back at Runway as they must battle against the ever changing world of magazine publishing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before I get into this review, I felt it was essential to set the scene a little bit. By that I mean just making you aware that The Devil Wears Prada is one of my ultimate guilty pleasure films, I have lost count of how many times I have seen it over the years after the initial viewing on 7th October 2006 at the cinema. (Yes that is logged on my blog, from a ticket stub I would still have somewhere).

Anyway.

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this sequel as let’s face it two whole decades later is a rather long time, I feel as though they did a great job overall for the fans and not only that but managing to combine the return of the different characters but also highlighting how people change as they get older and having to adapt to how the world changes.

We pick up with Andy who is sacked seconds before she accepts a journalism award, and that basically highlights how writing is not the same as it previously had been. This quickly means she needs a job, and you couldn’t make it up that she offered a role at Runway! That mean’s Miranda Priestly is about to be launched back into her life.

We then get to see Nigel and Emily while seeing how things have changed within Runway and the fashion world in general. This time we get a trip to Milan, which quite frankly after my trip last summer I really loved seeing a few of the places I had been on the big screen. Oh and with some amazing shots of NYC, making me look forward to my trip this summer.

We get more amazing one liners to add to the collection from the first film, my personal favourite was “Stockholm called they want their syndrome back” and I have since found out that not everyone knows what Stockholm syndrome is.

I really loved and appreciated the arch they gave Andy and that it totally focused on her career and not having a family at the core of it, I felt that was actually a great aspect of the film. That made sure she stayed true to the decision she had made at the end of the first film, when we said goodbye to the true villian of Nate. This outting is enjoyable enough from start to finish with some good performances all round for the main four actors stepping back into those roles.
