The Devil Wears Prada 2: A New Chapter in the Fashion World
The long-awaited sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is set to hit cinemas soon, but some fans are raising concerns about the quality of the film after noticing an odd detail in the new trailer. The original 2006 film, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, became a cultural phenomenon, following the journey of an ambitious journalist who lands a junior assistant role at Runway, the world’s top fashion magazine. The story revolved around her challenging relationship with the formidable editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestley, played by Meryl Streep.
The sequel features the return of key cast members including Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, who reprise their roles as Andy Sachs, Emily, and Nigel, respectively. While the plot details remain under wraps, there are hints that the film will explore the decline of the magazine industry and how Miranda and Andy might collaborate to find new advertisers.
A Meme That Raises Questions
One of the most notable aspects of the new trailer is a scene where Miranda appears to be involved in a high-profile scandal, leading to online memes mocking her. However, this has sparked confusion among fans, as one particular meme seems to use a screenshot from the first film, which would not logically exist within the universe of the sequel.
Fans have taken to social media to express their frustration, with one user asking, “So they’re using this iconic Miranda frame from the first film… in the sequel’s universe where that film doesn’t even exist?” Another commented, “It [actually] makes me so angry when movies do this lazy s***, go through her social media and pick something from there like a TRUE ARTIST.”
Despite these concerns, not everyone is bothered by the apparent oversight. One viewer joked, “It must be amazing to have this completely irrelevant thing be a huge problem in your life.”
A Familiar Scene
The specific screenshot used in the meme comes from one of the most memorable scenes in the original film. In this scene, Miranda gives a critical look at Andy’s outfit, which includes a “lumpy” cerulean blue sweater. This moment has become iconic and is often referenced in pop culture.
What to Expect
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is scheduled for release on 1 May, with Meryl Streep recently mentioning that efforts were made on set to avoid featuring “skeletal” models in runway scenes. The film also introduces new faces, including Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, and Simone Ashley from Bridgerton. Emily Blunt has shared her experience working on the sequel, calling it a “rude awakening” due to the fashion she had to wear.
Additionally, Lady Gaga was spotted on the set of the film, suggesting she may have a secret cameo. The sequel will be available exclusively in cinemas, marking a return to the big screen for this beloved franchise.
