Last night, 28 April 2026, Johannesburg turned into its very own slice of Manhattan as the official South African special screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2 unfolded at Ster-Kinekor Eastgate inside Eastgate Shopping Centre.

More than 500 invited guests, including media personalities, fashion insiders, celebrities, influencers, and industry tastemakers, stepped into an evening where fashion was not just worn, but performed. The dress code? Runway Ready, of course.
In 1999, I was a young producer working at a production company in Cape Town, producing international commercials and dreaming big TV dreams. News travelled differently back then, whispered across edit suites, announced on radio bulletins, repeated in hushed conversations between takes.
That’s when I heard about the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of John F. Kennedy Junior, his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette. And I remember something very clearly. The world mourned “American royalty.” The headlines focused on JFK Jr. The glamour. The dynasty. The legacy. But quietly, heartbreakingly, the Bessette family lost two daughters that day. That stayed with me.
So when I saw that Disney+ had debuted the official trailer for FX’s limited series Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, it instantly took me back to that moment in 1999, to the shock, the disbelief. All 3 who passed were only in their thirties.
