The Devil Wears Prada 2 held several press screenings, and SHEEN Magazine was among those who joined in on the excitement. From the nostalgia and relatability to the standout wardrobe, the sequel delivers a must watch film. From the giggles in the theater to the awe and aha moments, the screening experience reflects just how well it captured and evoked every emotion.
Growing up, I was a huge fan of The Devil Wears Prada because it followed young Andie Sachs navigating an industry I once dreamed of entering. It captured both the highs and lows of pursuing a coveted role, something many can relate to. For those who have encountered demanding, detail oriented bosses who eventually reveal a softer side, the story feels especially familiar. Now, for the young women who have grown into journalists, executive assistants and editors, this film feels like it was made with them in mind. At the same time, its feel good, comedic tone makes it enjoyable for anyone.
Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly alongside Anne Hathaway as Andie Sachs, once again delivering compelling performances. Fan favorites Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci also reunite nearly 20 years after the original 2006 film, adding another layer of nostalgia.
The sequel also brings a modern edge, with notable celebrity cameos woven throughout, making it feel rooted in today’s pop culture landscape. It also touches on timely conversations around the challenges of sustaining print journalism, a theme introduced early in the film and carried throughout. Those working in print media can especially relate, as declining metrics and shifting audience behavior reflect how much of the industry has moved to digital platforms.
Early reactions from press screenings have also been pretty positive, with many praising the film’s ability to balance nostalgia with a refreshed storyline.
With the film premiering May 1, it is a perfect weekend watch ahead of Mother’s Day, offering a nostalgic throwback for longtime fans while still feeling fresh for a new generation. It also makes for an easy shared experience, whether it is a girls’ night out, a solo reset at the theater, or a Mother’s Day weekend outing with someone who remembers the original film when it first released.
