59 Burning Questions I Had After Watching ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

The Devil Wears Prada 2 has arrived, and it’s been 20 years since the original film. The movie opens with Andy winning a journalism prize and getting laid off on the same day—a painfully realistic portrayal. Andy uses her speech to discuss layoffs, which feels unrealistic. She quickly secures another job, but why so fast? Her new salary is so low that she lives in an apartment with brown running water. Irv hires Andy without Miranda’s knowledge, and Miranda allows him to dictate to her. BJ Novak repeatedly reminds viewers he’s Irv’s son. The Runway gala’s theme of ‘Spring Florals’ feels forced, and there are too many callbacks to the original film. Andy is hired based on a viral video, and her presence saves Runway from a scandal. All characters wear many ties or tie-inspired looks, and Andy could have cleared her office paperwork. Her assistant is a walking Asian stereotype. Miranda wears a tassel jacket, and Andy wears many waistcoats. Andy writes a Runway apology she wasn’t involved in. Nigel and Andy attend an advertiser meeting with Miranda alone. Emily’s title at Dior is unclear. Andy can’t afford a cab, and her new salary is questionable. She may have hired her laid-off friend freelance. Her contract likely prevents an exposé. Andy’s features team is missing. She interrupts a features meeting to promote herself. Other serious pieces she wants to write are unspecified. Getting an interview with Lucy Liu was easy, and Miranda might not interview her herself. Nigel still uses physical contact sheets for shoots. Miranda might invite Andy to her Hamptons house. Tina Brown is in the movie, and Andy’s assistant’s behavior is suspicious. Emily left Dior for Coach. Andy wears many sequined outfits. She gets into a car with Emily in public. The meeting location feels arbitrary. Andy’s assistant’s actions are questionable. Andy’s love interest has no chemistry. Miranda’s seating choice is odd. Donatella Versace’s cameo is notable. Lady Gaga’s appearance and singing are unexpected. Emily’s departure from Dior is unexplained. Andy’s outfit choices are repetitive. Justin Theroux’s breakup with Emily is mentioned. AI images of Justin Theroux pre-Ozempic are shown. Simone Ashley’s role is minimal. Andy’s sweater is altered. Andy and Lily’s contact with Doug from the first film is unclear. International Runway editions are performing well. Another movie sequel is possible. Vogue’s spoofing of Vogue World is referenced.
