After watching the Devil Wears Prada 2, Vogue Philippines editors have some serious follow-ups.
The following article contains spoilers for The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Fashion may have changed since the first Devil Wears Prada film, but the pressures of the industry remain just as compelling in the sequel. After watching The Devil Wears Prada 2, Vogue Philippines editors unpack the moments that surprised us most, and the questions we’re still asking after the credits rolled.
- Why did Andy have to run all over the city after confirming the “holy grail” story? Couldn’t she have just texted Miranda?
- Can Andy actually afford that apartment on a Features Editor’s salary?
- What happened to Andy’s other friends?
- Why would Andy ride a bus in the long Gabriela Hearst graphic dress, especially after Nigel had specifically told her it had to be returned spotless?
- The dress was eventually stained during lunch; how did Nigel react?
- If Tina Brown is such a legend in the publishing world, why was her appearance just a mute cameo?
- How is Andy self-publishing via the CMS (Content Management System) without sending the piece to layout first?
- Where is Andy getting all these perfectly workable listings in New York City?
- Has Nigel received a promotion since 2006?
- What was Emily’s actual job at Dior?
- What did Nigel reading Miranda’s keynote speech signify for his future at Runway?
- Why would Runway publish an article about a controversial fast-fashion brand in the first place? Was it sponsored content?
- At the end of the film, what are Nigel and Andy’s editorial titles now that Miranda is the Global Director?
- Kara Swisher, a tech journalist who covers Silicon Valley, cameos as herself at Miranda’s party. Did she “sniff out” the planned takeover of the magazine?
- I mean, why was a Features Editor attending Fashion Week instead of a Fashion Editor?
- For both The Devil Wears Prada and its sequel, are the romantic subplots really relevant?
- How did Miranda meet her new musician hubby?
- Why did Miranda dress that way while flying Economy?
- Couldn’t Miranda have upgraded herself to Business Class?
- Where are the other editors or the art team during cover and layout deliberations? Why are only Miranda, Nigel, and Andy ever in the room?
- And honestly, what is wrong with Coach?
