The Devil Wears Prada 2 Review: A Worthy Sequel to a Gorgeous Classic

A Little About The Devil Wears Prada 2

You probably guessed it — The Devil Wears Prada 2 brings you back into the glossy, slightly terrifying world of Runway magazine.

Two decades later, Andy Sachs returns to the publication, this time as its Features Editor, just as Miranda Priestly faces a shaky new era for print and prestige.

Filmed between Manhattan, Milan, and Newark, the sequel keeps the old glamour but adds a dose of digital-age chaos.

But we already know that – so what’s new?

Well, one thing that is NEW is our Ladies Weekend movies that are coming soon to TGV Cinemas!

Improved Chemistry Between Miranda, Andy, Nigel, and Emily

You probably expected the sharp banter and cold glances to return, but The Devil Wears Prada 2 surprises you with warmth instead.

The film still has bite, yet the characters meet each other halfway this time. Miranda and Andy no longer feel trapped in a boss–assistant dynamic; they move like two professionals who’ve seen life cut sharper than any editorial critique. This shows that they didn’t retcon the first movie.

Also, we love how Emily has evolved from just being a rival to Andy. Sure, she still is ambitious, but we get to see her connecting more with Emily at a human level. Helps that Emily Blunt is a top-tier actress!

Don’t worry, Miranda still kept some of her sass, and we’re all here for it!

Growth and Redemption for Nigel

EVERYONE remembers Nigel.

In the first film, he gave everything to Runway, only to see others claim the spotlight. Many, including us, felt that he just having a supplementary role doesn’t do him justice.

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, his role is elevated significantly but in a subtle way. He became one of the focal points in ensuring Runway’s survival, with him running the strings in orchestrating Andy’s return to Runway.

This is amazing character development and writing, where the good stuff of what makes his character iconic remains while also expanding on it.

Slower in Pacing But Excellent in Storytelling

You might notice the film’s first act takes its time. It lingers on Runway’s modern struggles—declining readership, social media burnout, and Miranda Priestly somehow dealing with the most basic corporate matters.

The pacing feels measured, almost hesitant, but it quietly builds the foundation for emotional payoffs later.

If we were to look at things brightly, the slower start lets us see how much Andy and Miranda have changed.

By the time Runway tips into crisis, those early beats suddenly make sense, and they come together as a whole. The energy lifts as the stakes rise; the camera can finally move.

Final Verdict: A Fun Sequel and Super Enjoyable

You walk out of The Devil Wears Prada 2 feeling like you’ve just caught up with old friends.

The film doesn’t try to reinvent fashion or cinema; it simply reminds you why it was such a joy the first time.

The cast slips back into their roles like a perfectly tailored coat, giving humor and heart in equal measure. For those who’ve watched the first Devil Wears Prada when they were younger, it’s a sweet trip down memory lane.

For those who haven’t, it’s still a refreshing take on the drama/work culture genre, which is lacking in the movie world.
