Almost two decades since The Devil Wears Prada established itself as one of the definitive films of its time, anticipation for its highly anticipated sequel is running high. The Devil Wears Prada 2 returns many of the characters while attempting to recast its narrative in the rapidly evolving media industry. While the former capitalised on acerbic social commentary in terms of fashion, ambition and power, this new instalment approaches things from a more introspective angle.
It is polished and engaging, but there is a sense that it looks back as much as it looks ahead. The film leans into nostalgia, sometimes effectively and other times excessively, while trying to say something significant about an industry that has changed dramatically. The film also makes a sharp but subtle commentary on the birth of AI and death of human creativity.
