The Devil Wears Prada, again.

The Devil Wears Prada recently returned with its long awaited sequel.

Over the years, the original film became much more than just a fashion movie. It was loved not only by people interested in fashion, but also by those drawn to high end culture, food, and young professionals beginning their careers.

What I loved most about the film was the way new details revealed themselves every time I watched it.

When fashion was my main interest, I found myself focusing on the designer clothes and handbags throughout the film. Later, after I began studying art, I started noticing Alex Katz’s Harbor hanging inside Miranda’s apartment. And once I became interested in high end furniture, pieces like the Bertoia Chair by Knoll naturally began catching my attention as well.

That is why I never thought of the film as simply “a movie with beautiful clothes”. What I truly enjoyed was discovering hidden details throughout the film and unexpectedly reconnecting with the things I had learned and grown interested in over time.

I think that is also why the film continues to resonate even twenty years later. It was never only about luxury fashion. It captured the culture of New York careers, fashion magazines, and the process of developing personal taste itself.

As soon as I heard the sequel was finally released, I went to see it during opening week. I want to avoid spoilers, so I will keep the story itself brief, but it carried a similar emotional weight to the original film. Seeing Emily and Andy together again in the final scenes felt unexpectedly touching.

More than anything, it was comforting to see the cast return with the same presence and atmosphere they carried twenty years ago. There was something genuinely special about revisiting characters that had stayed with me for so long.
