Overview
- The sequel, which opened Thursday, April 30, brings the Runway world back to theaters in a wide release.
- Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return, joined by Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux and Lady Gaga, who makes a cameo and performs the title song.
- Heidi Klum said she filmed a brief cameo, while director David Frankel said Gisele Bündchen could not return because last summer’s shoot overlapped with her pregnancy.
- The story sends Andy Sachs back to Runway after a media scandal as Miranda Priestly navigates a changed industry shaped by social media and tighter corporate control.
- Streep said on the Today show she first declined and then doubled her fee to sign on, and critics describe the film as stylish yet thin even as trades project a strong opening powered by star appeal.
