Overview
- Le Diable s’habille en Prada 2, which opened Wednesday, reunites Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci under director David Frankel after a 20‑year wait for the right idea.
- The story brings Andy Sachs back into the orbit of Runway as the magazine faces a reputational flare‑up online, setting up a new power test for Miranda Priestly without revisiting the first film’s beats.
- Frankel frames the film around falling print sales, the pull of social media and the threat of AI to creative jobs, with location shoots at Milan Fashion Week and a pop soundtrack featuring Lady Gaga, Madonna and Dua Lipa.
- Early reviews diverge, with Vogue France praising the media portrait, Le Figaro calling it less biting but more activist, Le Parisien criticizing a thin script, and titles like Le Canard enchaîné and La Provence highlighting pace, performances and zingy one‑liners.
- Anne Hathaway publicly denied rumors she pushed for models to be dropped over body size and said the production aimed for broader size inclusion.
