Fans Share Excitement for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ as a Must-See Summer Movie
Miranda Priestly has returned to the big screen with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, hitting theaters on Friday after a 17-year hiatus since the original.
Fans have taken to social media to share their first impressions of the sequel. One enthusiastic viewer declared, “Just finished The Devil Wears Prada 2 and CINEMA IS ALIVE AND WELL,” on X.
Another fan described the film as the “perfect summer movie,” noting, “Where the original seduced us with wide-eyed ambition, this sequel arrives fully self-possessed — sharper, wiser, and draped in the kind of confidence that cannot be bought, only earned.” This fan praised the performances of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, stating, “Meryl, Anne, and Emily are a phenomenal, unmatched trio, and Tucci, as ever, is a masterclass in scene-stealing grace. It is SO good to be back in this world!”
Another review highlighted the film’s engagement with “themes of a dying media landscape.” The reviewer initially expressed skepticism about the need for a sequel but admitted, “This movie did the unthinkable… it proved me wrong. This is no soulless cash-in. It actually justifies its existence and surpassed my expectations.”

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 has the same structure as the first, but the heavy focus on the difficulties of producing print journalism in the 2020s is a welcome surprise (as are the many gasp-worthy cameos). Not a classic like the first, but the cast is so good that it’s still fun. pic.twitter.com/TiTuampPs1

In comparisons to the original, another viewer called the sequel a “more poignant piece” focused on modern journalism and its ethical challenges.
However, one fan noted, “Not a classic like the first, but the cast is so good that it’s still fun.”
The sequel reunites Meryl Streep as the iconic editor Miranda Priestly, alongside Anne Hathaway’s Andi, Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton, and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling.

Novak, Pauline Chalamet, Rachel Bloom, Patrick Brammall, Conrad Ricamora, and Lady Gaga.
