Bring home ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

Category: Blu-ray's, DVD's and Digital

The 2006 film, The Devil Wears Prada, was a success. It revolved around a simple girl with a lofty career goal. Andy (Anne Hathaway) was on the path to be a serious journalist, but to get there she had to take a job as the assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the snooty, high-class, glossy magazine editor of Runway. The Devil Wears Prada 2 continues with those characters as it explores human relationships.

As that initial story played out, audiences saw Andy jettison some of her core values. She went from a simple woman who does not care about fashion to a sophisticated woman dressed to the nines with a hairstyle to match. 

Along the way, Andy and Miranda clashed but deep down they held each other in high regard. Andy respected Miranda for her achievements, and Miranda in turn respected Andy for grasping her reality that high fashion, with all its intricacies, has a place in the world.

Now, 20 years later, Andy is a successful journalist who loses her job at a newspaper. Actually, everyone there loses their jobs due to the decline of journalism itself and the fact that periodicals continue to be swallowed up by high tech. Many viewers can feel Andy’s dismay and frustration, not only about losing a job, but also the way in which journalism is heading. The print media is slowly, or some would say rapidly, being erased, and journalism itself is turning into a trade rather than a profession.

What’s a girl to do? 

Andy finds herself back at Runway as the features editor, tasked with bringing the magazine some serious direction other than simply fashion, colors, and shoes. 

The relationship between Andy and Miranda once again starts off a little rocky. There is a big twist when Andy is reacquainted with Emily (Emily Blunt), who, in the first film, was her mentor. Emily lived and breathed fashion back then. Now she does the same, only this time she works in retail – Dior.

Throughout the film, all the characters come up against each other. They are each grounded in their own feelings about the world of fashion and the way the world is heading. But there is one big difference dividing some of them. That is ego. 

Back stabbing seems to be a common element when it comes to stories about success and climbing the corporate ladder, and this one is no exception. 

When Andy realizes Miranda’s job, not to mention Runway itself, is in a precarious situation, she turns to Emily for help. Can Emily’s beau Benji (Justin Theroux), a Jeff Bezos clone, help Runway stay as it is?

While Emily pretends to be Andy’s ally, she is only thinking about herself. Forget about Miranda and the rest of Runway. Emily is out for one thing – Emily.

Andy’s motives are good. She wants to save her “friend” Miranda. And, in the end, she manages to do just that while at the same time giving Emily her due.

Perhaps the most endearing relationship in the film is between Miranda and her husband Stuart (Kenneth Branaugh) who is resolutely in his wife’s corner. Even when Miranda puts her job and Runway ahead of their marriage, he is there to lend a shoulder and encouragement. 

While some characters are only thinking about themselves, there are a few who are true friends and not out to elevate themself. Ruthlessness abides in this film, but there is a little sliver of humanity that shines through.

Bonus Features (May vary by product and retailer. Only available on Digital and Physical.)

There are a few bonus features rounding out the entertainment value of the film. 

“Level Up: Updating the Icons” explores the chemistry that the cast had and still has. And Andy now is more confident, Emily has the power she always wanted, Nigel is basically the same, and Miranda knows she has to change with the times.

“Inside the Fashion Closet” looks at the clothing, styles, and the timelessness of the fashions. Molly Rogers, the lead costume designer on the film, discusses her choices and the look of the film.

“Front Row Access: Shooting in Italy” brings viewers, along with the cast and crew, to the country to not only shoot the scenes, but also to explore the classic art and buildings. “Filming there is so magical” Hathaway states. And an added bonus in the movie is that the shooting schedule in Italy aligned with the Milan Fashion Week, which afforded everyone additional access to the fashion houses.

There is a Gag Reel (bumping into walls and sliding in chairs, etc,) and a Music Video with Lady Gaga and Doechii for the movie’s song “Runway.”

Although this is rated PG-13 for strong language and some suggestive references, it does not specifically confront sex itself. There are references and PDAs, but that is where the camera stops. Some language might offend some viewers as there are mild obscenities, but compared to most films, these are few.

The 4K digital version of the movie is available June 30, 2026, with the 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray editions coming July 28, 2026.
