Miranda Priestly hangs her own coat in The Devil Wears Prada 2. Somehow, it works

The sequel attempts to humanise ‘the devil’, and surprisingly, it works. Miranda’s emotional exchange with Nigel is the sequel’s most earned moment.

Miranda Priestly is the beating heart of The Devil Wears Prada 2. She is stripped of the old-world gloss, yet nothing has dulled her edge. Her sass is unapologetic. Her fashion choices, from the red Balenciaga gown in her entry scene to the metallic dress she dons in Milan, remain breathtaking. Her silver-white, short bob and the low, cutting, no-nonsense voice haven’t changed. Yet, something has.

There is no sequel to the cerulean monologue—though there is a throwback to the jumper in the final scene.

But what is Miranda without her mic-drop moments? It’s espresso without caffeine. There is still style, but where’s the kick? Also gone is the theatre of intimidation.

Nobody is girding their loins. There are no panic-walking heels to be found.........
