The Devil Wears Prada 2 hailed as a “perfect sequel” as first reactions land

by

After a 20-year wait, The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters next week, and excitement is building! Early reviews following last night’s premiere are calling it a “perfect sequel.”

Okay, so the sequel is directed by the same guy as the first movie, David Frankel, and written by Aline Brosh McKenna again, which is awesome! This time around, Andy – Anne Hathaway, of course – is back at Runway magazine, and Miranda, played by Meryl Streep, is really fighting to keep things going. It looks like their only chance is Emily, now running a big luxury brand, because she might have the financial backing Runway desperately needs to survive. I’m already hooked!

People who attended the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 last night are sharing their reactions online, and so far, everyone seems to love it!

Variety critic Jazz Tangcay called The Devil Wears Prada 2 “phenomenal,” praising it as a surprisingly excellent sequel. She highlighted the script by Aline Brosh McKenna as particularly clever and quotable, predicting lines from the film will be remembered for years.

Okay, seriously, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt are still amazing! The movie looked incredible – the costumes were just stunning, and the music? Forget about it, it was fantastic. I absolutely loved it and it was totally worth the wait!

What to Read Next

According to Alex Weprin of The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is a sharp and humorous satire of the media world, filled with high fashion. He notes that journalists will likely find it painfully relatable, and that it’s genuinely funny, with memorable lines comparable to those in the original film. Weprin believes fans will love it, as movies like this are rare in theaters these days.

Daniel Baptista of The Movie Podcast called The Devil Wears Prada 2 a fun and powerful sequel, praising Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep for effortlessly reprising their famous roles. He believes the film is both comfortably familiar and relevant, making the wait worthwhile.

In addition to returning favorites like Stanley Tucci as Nigel, Tracie Thoms as Lily, and Tibor Feldman as Irv Ravitz, The Devil Wears Prada 2 introduces new cast members including Justin Theroux, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Caleb Hearon, and Lady Gaga.

Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s former partner Nate, likely won’t return to the show, unless the creators have kept it a closely guarded secret. He appears unconcerned about not being involved, recently joking about it in a Starbucks commercial.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is released in cinemas on 1 May.
