There are certain cultural moments that simply shape a generation. Some people had historical events. We had The Devil Wears Prada.
If you grew up in the 2000s, this movie was practically a personality trait. It was the blueprint for sleepovers, girls’ nights, random channel-surfing wins, and at least 40% of our vocabulary. “That’s all.” Iconic. Revolutionary? Groundbreaking, even.
We all secretly wanted to be a little bit Miranda. We all dreamed of a Nigel makeover montage. And if you say you didn’t rehearse a dramatic coat toss after watching it, I simply do not believe you.
So when I heard The Devil Wears Prada 2 was happening 20 years later? Immediate yes. No hesitation. No follow-up questions. Girl, take my money.
Of course, with any reboot comes one terrifying question: Will it live up to the hype? Because let’s be honest, nostalgia is a dangerous game. Sometimes things are better left in 2006, alongside low-rise jeans and questionable side bangs.
But after assembling what can only be described as my emotional support movie snacks (approximately my body weight in chocolate, popcorn, and Diet Coke), I was prepared for success no matter what. Honestly, that trio alone could fix most of my problems.
And truly, what makes a weeknight better than a girls’ night at the movies? A lineup of women you love, a shared appreciation for fictional fashion icons, and absolutely zero responsibility beyond deciding which candy to split.
Now don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything for you, because this is your official sign to go see it yourself. But I will say this: it delivered.
Miranda was Miranda. Nigel was Nigel. Emily was still the sharp-tongued queen we deserve. And Andi? Still Andi. The movie somehow managed to feel fresh and current while still staying true to everything we loved about the original. It wrapped up the story in a way that felt satisfying, nostalgic, and honestly? Just plain fun. Which is exactly what a movie night should be.
So, if you’ve been debating whether to go, this is me lovingly but firmly telling you: GO.
Make a night of it. Call your girls. Eat popcorn for dinner like the fully grown adult you are. Buy the overpriced candy. Get the giant Diet Coke. Wear something cute for literally no reason.
Sometimes the best plans are the simplest ones: a fun movie, good snacks, and your favourite people.
And honestly? In a world that feels a little too serious sometimes, a weeknight girls’ night built around The Devil Wears Prada 2 feels almost medically necessary.
That’s all.
