I attended the premiere of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” last week, courtesy of Disney Studios Africa.

Two decades later, the heels are higher, the comebacks are sharper, and the fashion world is still as cutthroat as ever,  but this time, it comes with a layer of introspection we didn’t quite expect.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn’t just revisit a cultural moment, it redefines it for where we are now. And as someone who remembers the original shaping my own views on ambition, career, and identity, this one felt a lot more personal.

The film picks up in a world that has dramatically shifted, digital disruption, influencer culture, and the slow death of traditional print media all form the backdrop. And right at the centre of it all is the still-formidable Miranda Priestly. But this time, there’s a quiet tension beneath her perfectly tailored exterior. The industry she once ruled without question is evolving, and for the first time, you sense that even she might have to adapt.
