Twenty years is a long time to wait for a sequel — and by most accounts, this one earns it. Critics have praised the returning cast for picking up their characters with ease, with Streep in particular drawing attention for bringing new layers to Miranda in a media landscape that has shifted dramatically beneath her. Emily Blunt's expanded role as a rival rather than a sidekick gives the film its central tension, and the film's sharp commentary on the collapse of print media and the rise of AI-driven content gives it more bite than anyone expected from a fashion comedy sequel.

Our Take

Lauren Weisberger's sequel novel Revenge Wears Prada took Andy Sachs into new territory — a decade on, building a bridal magazine empire alongside Emily while the shadow of Miranda loomed. The film takes its own liberties with that premise, but the spirit is intact: what happens when the women who escaped the dragon end up back in the same room as her? Director David Frankel and screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna — both returning from the original — have made something that feels less like a nostalgia cash-grab and more like a genuine reckoning with who these characters became. At $433 million and counting, audiences clearly agree. Whether you loved the book, the first film, or both, this one is worth the trip to the theater.
