In 2006, Sidekicks and low-rise flared jeans reigned supreme. Now, twenty years later, Sidekicks have been replaced by iPhones, and flared jeans aren’t quite as low-rise as they were before. The scope and pace of fashion is different from when The Devil Wears Prada originally hit theaters, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 makes sure you know it.
Much like Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) said at the end of the first film, this sequel had some pretty big shoes to fill. The Devil Wears Prada has remained in the zeitgeist not just for its fashionable outfits and montages, but because of what it had to say about the state of the industry and journalism as a whole. The Devil Wears Prada 2 reminds you of that, and also just how much things have changed.
