Ahead of its much-awaited release, revisit the events that determined the narrative of the prequel. From 2006 to 2026, it is time to brush up and understand in which direction the plot of The Devil Wears Prada 2 could head.
The Devil Wears Prada plot
The Devil Wears Prada follows the story of Andrea Sachs, a fresh graduate, who wants to become a famous journalist. Soon, she lands a job as the assistant to Miranda Priestly in New York City. Miranda is popular as a cutthroat magazine editor. Working with her changes Andy as a person and a professional. The film revolves around her journey and whether she manages to fulfil her dreams of becoming a successful journalist. Miranda is not known for being a polite and kind person.
Over a period, Andy feels she is becoming like
Miranda. The realisation comes after the Paris Fashion Week. Andy has finally gained Miranda’s trust, but she is transforming into the kind of person she didn’t want to be. Miranda’s cold, ruthless, and willing to sacrifice relationships for career advancement behaviour doesn’t match Andy’s ideology. Seeing Miranda betraying Nigel to save her own job, noticing the ‘win at all costs’ attitude and losing touch with family, friends, and loved ones prompts
Andy to quit her job. She chooses ethics over power. While she decides to cut herself off from Miranda, it is revealed that the lady in power helped her get the new job by recommending her.
The Devil Wears Prada ending
Andy realises that Miranda finally appreciates her efforts and values, even when they are poles apart in terms of personality. Miranda begins seeing herself in Andy, but doesn’t stop her from resigning. In the final scene, Miranda almost smiles when she sees Andy.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 takes legacy forward
The conclusion of
The Devil Wears Prada indicates that though Miranda and Andy have walked different paths, based on their respective ideologies, they’re never separated in spirit. As new challenges emerge for Miranda, it will be interesting to watch how the boss ladies unite to tackle obstacles before her retirement. Even after 20 years,
The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to stay relevant to the timeline and present solutions to obstacles based on the character’s evolution and maturity. The challenge is mammoth, given how iconic the film has been in the late 2000s, but trust Miranda, Andy and
Nigel to serve entertainment with style and sass.
