Method dressing is once again dominating the red carpet. At the Los Angeles premiere of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on July 27, Zendaya arrived in an Ashi Studio fall 2026 gown with a plunging neckline framed by sculptural elements resembling a spider's appendages. Three days later, she and longtime stylist Law Roach continued the narrative at the film's London premiere with a cream Tamara Ralph couture gown traced with metallic, web-like lines. The London look was finished with a diamond-encrusted gold spider brooch by couture jewelry designer Keren Wolf, placed at the base of Zendaya's back. The piece was originally created to form part of a spiderweb headpiece designed by Shani Dvorkin with Wolf, before being reworked as an embellishment for the gown. Tom Holland joined in with an articulated spider brooch by British jeweler Pragnell, worn on the knot of his tie. The appearances were the latest demonstration of the red-carpet strategy Zendaya and Roach have helped turn into an entertainment-marketing event of its own, from “Dune” to “The Odyssey”. Instead of treating each premiere as an isolated fashion moment, they build a visual world across photocalls, press events and carpets, giving fans another reference to identify and circulate with every appearance. During the current “Spider-Man” tour, that has included a vintage Giorgio Armani dress covered in silver cobwebs at the film's Rome premiere on June 23 and a $34.99 vintage Spider-Man T-shirt sourced on eBay for a Paris photocall two days later. The pair have simultaneously been promoting Christopher Nolan's “The Odyssey,” shifting between literal spider references and contemporary interpretations of Greek dress. But as increasingly recognizable references become a fixture of movie promotion, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger believes the most successful looks should not resemble costumes. Erlanger, whose clients include Lupita Nyong'o and Meryl Streep, prefers the term “meta dressing”: using colors, silhouettes and more discreet cultural references to connect an actor's wardrobe to a project without overwhelming the person wearing it. “For me, it hasn't always felt like it has to be that literal,” Erlanger said on the Glossy Podcast this week. “I like the idea of referencing a character, or referencing a film, a moment, a dialogue or a period in time, without it having to feel gimmicky or obvious.” Erlanger used that approach while styling Nyong'o, who plays Helen of Troy, for “The Odyssey” press tour. At the film's London premiere on July 6, Nyong'o wore a silver Christian Cowan gown with a relatively restrained silhouette from the front, but deep sculptural cutouts beneath the arms that revealed her figure from the side. Rather than reaching for an overtly Grecian chiffon dress, Erlanger wanted the look to communicate Helen's legendary beauty more indirectly. “She's playing Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world,” Erlanger said. “You don't need a lot of clothing or a whole lot of look when it's about who the woman wearing the dress is and how she stands on her own.” Erlanger had limited information when she began working on the wardrobe. Nolan is known for keeping his films private, while Nyong'o initially disclosed little beyond the identity of her character. Erlanger instead drew from Homer's poem, Greek mythology and her own interpretation of Helen. For an earlier New York appearance, Nyong'o wore a custom Sally LaPointe look with ostrich feathers. The idea was developed by Erlanger and Nyong'o as a reference to the story that Helen was born after Zeus took the form of a swan. “If you know, you know,” Erlanger said. “Lovers of the book and Greek mythology might be able to pick up on that.” The outfit still worked independently for audiences unfamiliar with the reference, which is central to Erlanger's distinction between meta dressing and simply recreating a film's costume. She applied the same thinking while styling Streep during the press tour for “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” At an April 12 event in Shanghai, Streep wore a cobalt-blue Saint Laurent military-inspired coat dress with oversized sunglasses, subtly recalling both Miranda Priestly and the original film's famous cerulean monologue. In the speech, Priestly describes cerulean military jackets supposedly shown by Yves Saint Laurent before the color filtered down through the fashion system. The collection described in the screenplay never actually existed, making Streep's coat what Erlanger called “a reference within a reference.” “If you were paying attention, you would pick up on these kinds of things,” she said. Social media has made such details increasingly valuable. An obscure reference decoded by fans can become a viral post, generating attention for the actor, stylist, designer and film simultaneously. It has also brought stylists themselves out from behind the scenes. Erlanger said their work now extends far beyond choosing attractive clothes, encompassing public-image management, brand exposure and the strategic positioning of clients. “We are responsible for shaping the public image of some of the biggest names in entertainment,” she said. “There's a whole business to all of it.”
Movie of the Year: 2006The Devil Wears Prada (feat. Katie Walsh!)The Devil Wears Prada Podcast Episode: Fashion, Power, and the Best of 2006Welcome to The Devil Wears Prada podcast episode from Movie of the Year: 2006. This week, the Taste Buds enter the gleaming offices of Runway magazine. Furthermore, they bring backup. Film critic Katie Walsh joins Mike, Greg, and Ryan to decide whether David Frankel's fashion-world comedy can survive the 2006 bracket. Along the way, the panel debates feminism in the workplace, the myth of the suffering artist, and the eternal question of Andy's terrible friends. Additionally, the episode features a full Anne Hathaway Career Retrospective bracket. Consequently, this one runs deep on both style and substance.About the FilmThe Devil Wears Prada arrived in the summer of 2006 and promptly stole it. Director David Frankel adapted Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel about a young journalist grinding through an impossible job. Anne Hathaway stars as Andy Sachs, an aspiring writer who lands a position at Runway magazine. Her boss is Miranda Priestly, the most feared editor in fashion, played by Meryl Streep in an Oscar-nominated performance. Moreover, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci deliver career-launching supporting turns. The film earned over $300 million worldwide and near-universal acclaim. Notably, Roger Ebert praised Streep's icy, understated Miranda as the engine of the whole picture. For more background, the Wikipedia entry on The Devil Wears Prada covers its production and legacy in detail. The film now faces its toughest challenge yet: the Movie of the Year 2006 bracket.Guest Panelist: Katie WalshThe Devil Wears Prada 2006 podcast episode welcomes a genuine authority to the panel. Katie Walsh is a Los Angeles-based film critic who reviews weekly releases for the Tribune News Service and the Los Angeles Times. Additionally, she serves as Vice President of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. Her writing has appeared in GQ, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Vulture, Slate, and The Playlist. She co-hosted the podcast Miami Nice and has guest-hosted Switchblade Sisters. Furthermore, she frequently appears on KCRW's Press Play and has taught film criticism at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. In practice, that means the Taste Buds must actually defend their takes this week. Someone in the room knows what she is talking about.Feminism and the WorkplaceIs Miranda Priestly a feminist icon or a cautionary tale? The panel digs into how the film frames women, power, and ambition. Miranda runs an empire, yet the film punishes her with a collapsing marriage. Meanwhile, Andy gets scolded by nearly everyone for taking her job seriously. The episode asks whether the movie critiques workplace sexism or accidentally reproduces it. Notably, Katie Walsh brings a critic's perspective to how 2006 audiences read Miranda versus how we read her now. Two decades of think pieces have flipped the film's villain into its hero. Ultimately, the panel debates whether that reversal says more about the movie or about us.Can Art Only Come from Suffering?Andy suffers for a job she claims to hate, all in service of her writing dreams. Consequently, the Taste Buds tackle a bigger question: does great art require misery? The film suggests that paying dues at Runway makes Andy a better journalist. However, it also shows the cost. She loses friends, a boyfriend, and nearly herself. The panel weighs the romantic myth of the starving artist against the reality of creative work. By contrast, some of the best art comes from stability, support, and cerulean-blue sweaters chosen by someone else. Above all, this segment asks what we actually owe our ambitions.Andy's Friends: The Worst People in FashionEvery rewatch of The Devil Wears Prada produces the same realization: Andy's friends are monsters. They mock her job, demand free designer swag, and play keep-away with her work phone. Meanwhile, her boyfriend Nate pouts because she missed his birthday party for her career. Therefore, the panel litigates the great question of the film's second act. Are these people grounding Andy in reality, or are they sabotaging her? Specifically, the group ranks the friends from least to most insufferable. Nevertheless, at least one Taste Bud attempts a defense of Nate. It does not go well.Anne Hathaway Career Retrospective: The BracketSpecial segment time. The Devil Wears Prada podcast crew builds a full bracket to determine Anne Hathaway's most iconic role. The field spans her entire career. The Princess Diaries, Brokeback Mountain, Rachel Getting Married, Les Misérables, The Dark Knight Rises, and Interstellar all enter the arena. Additionally, deep cuts and dark horses make surprise appearances. Seeding arguments get heated. Upsets happen. As a result, friendships within the panel are tested. Does Andy Sachs herself take the crown, or does an Oscar-winning turn steal it? You will have to listen to find out. Check Anne Hathaway's full filmography on IMDb and play along at home.Why The Devil Wears Prada Still MattersTwenty years later, The Devil Wears Prada refuses to fade. The film remains a Rosetta Stone for conversations about work, ambition, and the price of excellence. Miranda's cerulean monologue is still the definitive speech about how culture actually functions. Moreover, the movie launched Emily Blunt, redefined Anne Hathaway, and gave Meryl Streep one of her signature roles. A 2026 sequel proved the appetite never left. In addition, the film's questions have only grown sharper in the era of hustle culture and quiet quitting. Is Miranda a monster or simply held to a different standard? Ultimately, that debate keeps the film alive, and it makes for a fierce competitor in the Movie of the Year 2006 tournament.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 2006Catch up on the season so far, from the 2006 season introduction to the music that defined the year:Movie of the Year 2006: Intro Part 1The 2006 Bracket Reveal: Meet the Sweet 16Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryThe 2006 Mixtape, Part IAll Movie of the Year episodesFAQ: The Devil Wears Prada Podcast and FilmWhat is this episode of The Devil Wears Prada podcast about?The Taste Buds and critic Katie Walsh debate whether The Devil Wears Prada deserves to advance in the Movie of the Year 2006 bracket. Topics include workplace feminism, art and suffering, Andy's awful friends, and a full Anne Hathaway career bracket.What is The Devil Wears Prada about?Aspiring journalist Andy Sachs takes a job assisting Miranda Priestly, the tyrannical editor of Runway magazine. Consequently, Andy must decide how much of herself she will trade for success.Who directed The Devil Wears Prada?David Frankel directed the film. He later directed Marley & Me and worked extensively on Sex and the City. Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the screenplay from Lauren Weisberger's novel.Who stars in The Devil Wears Prada?Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci lead the cast. Streep earned an Academy Award nomination for playing Miranda Priestly.More Questions About The Devil Wears PradaIs Miranda Priestly based on Anna Wintour?Widely, yes. Author Lauren Weisberger worked as an assistant to Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and Miranda is broadly understood as her fictional counterpart. However, Streep has said she modeled the performance on powerful men she knew rather than on Wintour.Who is the guest on this episode?Film critic Katie Walsh joins the panel. She reviews films for the Tribune News Service and the Los Angeles Times and serves as Vice President of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.What is the Anne Hathaway Career Retrospective?It is a bracket-style special segment. The panel seeds Anne Hathaway's most famous roles against each other and votes round by round until one iconic performance remains.Why does The Devil Wears Prada still matter?The film remains the defining movie about ambition, mentorship, and toxic workplaces. Moreover, its cultural conversation keeps evolving, as the 2026 sequel proved.

In this episode, Deborah and Cathy ask a very specific question about a perplexing phenomenon they've experienced. Why do we hear so many complaints (very often from other women) that the wrost boss they ever had was, in fact, a woman? Deborah and Cathy break down the Hollywood caricatures of women bosses - think Miranda Priestly or Selina Meyer - and contrast those with reality. What's at play here and how do we stop the negative stereotyping from women and men? Deborah and Cathy discuss the role of bias, including confirmation bias and an expectation for women to "play nice," and consider whether these expectations and biases creat unfair standards for wmen bosses. As alwys, they discuss solutions to make the workplace fairer for everyone, including by giving our bosses a fair shot.

“Everybody wants to be us.” Join Ian & Liam for our 337th episode as we slip into designer shoes, grab the garment bags, and survive another impossible day at Runway magazine with The Devil Wears Prada (2006). Megs isn't with us this week — Miranda Priestly spotted her wearing cerulean before she'd learned why it was cerulean and immediately reassigned her to the Paris office. Kev? He's still trying to fetch the unpublished Harry Potter manuscript, a flight to Miami, and a steak for Miranda... all before lunch. This week we discuss: Meryl Streep's iconic performance — restrained, terrifying, and endlessly quotable. Is Miranda Priestly one of the greatest screen bosses ever created? Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs — idealistic, ambitious, and increasingly compromised. Is her transformation inspiring, tragic, or somewhere in between? Emily Blunt steals every scene — razor-sharp timing, impeccable delivery, and why Emily Charlton remains one of the film's most beloved characters. Stanley Tucci's Nigel — warmth, wit, and heartbreak. Does he quietly become the emotional centre of the film? Ian breaks down the screenplay — how the film effortlessly balances workplace comedy, character drama, and biting satire. Liam explores the film's central question — is success worth sacrificing the people and principles that got you there? The fashion world — superficial excess, genuine artistry, or something much more complicated than the film's critics often admit? The "cerulean sweater" speech — one of the great monologues of modern cinema. Does it completely redefine how we understand Miranda? The "show vs tell" balance — how the film uses costume, performance, and visual storytelling to chart Andy's evolution without ever needing to announce it. The ending — personal victory, professional failure, or exactly the compromise Andy needed to make? And finally, whether The Devil Wears Prada is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the smartest and most rewatchable comedies of the 21st century.

Hi. How are you? This is Guilherme with a brand new episode of the Inglês Diário podcast. Hope you are all doing great today. We are already in late June, and I have to say, it's getting quite cold here in Sorocaba! Perfect weather for a hot cup of coffee while we practice some English.Today, we are going to use one of our new formats: the Pop Culture Scene! I love using movies to learn vocabulary because it creates an instant visual memory. I'm sure most of you have seen the movie The Devil Wears Prada—or in Portuguese, O Diabo Veste Prada. It's an absolute classic.If you remember the story, the main character, Andy, gets a job as an assistant to Miranda Priestly. And Miranda is basically the worst boss in the world. She is rude, she calls Andy at all hours of the night, and she wants impossible things—like getting the new Harry Potter book for her daughters before it is even published! But Andy, our main character, really wants to be a journalist, and she knows this job is a great opportunity. So, she decides to put up with Miranda's terrible behavior. Again: she decides to put up with Miranda's terrible behavior.To put up with something. Put, P-U-T, up, with.When you put up with something, you tolerate a difficult, annoying, or unpleasant situation without complaining. You don't like it, but you accept it. If you live next to a busy street or avenue, you put up with the traffic noise. If you have an old computer that crashes all the time, but you can't buy a new one, you just put up with it. In the movie, Andy puts up with Miranda's ridiculous demands because she hopes it will help her career.But as the story progresses, things get more and more toxic. Fast forward to the end of the movie: they are at a big fashion week in Paris and Miranda does something terrible: she betrays her most loyal colleague just to save her own job. When Andy sees this situation , she realizes she doesn't want to become a band, ruthless person like Miranda. That is her absolute limit. She finally draws the line.To draw the line. Imagine you have a piece of chalk (or “giz"), and you draw a straight line on the ground. You look at the situation and say, "You can come this far, but you cannot cross this line." To draw the line means to set a strict boundary or limit. It means you define exactly what is acceptable and what is absolutely unacceptable. Andy could put up with working late, but she drew the line at hurting other people. She threw her cell phone into a fountain in Paris, turned her back, and walked away.So, my question for you today is: Have you ever had a boss like Miranda Priestly? Maybe not as crazy, but maybe a little bit? What kind of crazy things did you have to put up with at your job? And at what point did you finally draw the line?Leave a comment. See you next time, bye!

Directed by David Frankel, the original 2006 film stars Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Adrian Grenier, while the 2026 sequel reunites much of the original cast with the addition of Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh, Lady Gaga and that heart-stopping toe-curling King of the Manhood Jungle, Patrick Brammall.

Artificial intelligence is the undisputed main character of 2026, showing up everywhere from the wedding industry to perfume creation. But even while AI's place in society remains contentious — in the buzzy “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” AI is a bigger antagonist than Miranda Priestly — beauty brands and retailers are rushing to adopt AI into their platforms. That includes two of beauty's major players, Sephora and Ulta. In March, Sephora announced an integration of its app within ChatGPT, while Ulta Beauty announced its own artificial intelligence integration via a partnership with Google Gemini just a month later. On this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Sara Spruch-Feiner are joined by senior beauty reporter Emily Jensen to discuss Sephora's and Ulta's recent investments into AI, and how agentic shopping is poised to evolve in the beauty industry. How exactly AI will shape the consumer pipeline and influencer beauty shopping in the months and years to come remains to be seen. But with Amazon (and its proprietary AI capabilities) on Sephora's and Ulta's heels as a major beauty retailer, the beauty retailers are diving right in rather than risking getting left behind.
In the final episode in this series of conversations around Devil Wears Prada, Julia speaks with Maryam after they watch the second film together. Unlike the earlier conversations in the series, this episode shifts away from Miranda Priestly herself and towards Andy — and what her character reveals about confidence, ambition, self-worth and the stories women continue to tell themselves as they lead. Maryam reflects on Andy as someone who is no longer an intern, no longer inexperienced, and yet still behaves as though she must constantly prove she deserves to be in the room. The conversation explores how many women carry old narratives about themselves long after they have developed the capability, instincts and judgement to lead confidently. Together, Julia and Maryam discuss the trap many women find themselves caught in: the fear of remaining too uncertain and over-accommodating, while also fearing becoming hard, untouchable or emotionally distant in order to succeed. The conversation also revisits many of the tensions explored across the wider Devil Wears Prada mini-expedition. Does excellence inevitably create pressure? Can ambitious women avoid becoming emotionally extractive leaders? What happens when stress simply gets passed down organisations? And how do women lead without reproducing the same cultures that exhausted them? A central theme in the episode is the emotional complexity of leading. Julia and Maryam reflect on loyalty, validation, psychological safety, female friendships, and the importance of recognising the quieter people who often hold organisations together behind the scenes. Returning once again to Miranda Priestly, the episode asks whether the real challenge for women is not choosing between Andy and Miranda, but refusing both models altogether. This final conversation brings the mini-series full circle. What began as a discussion about Miranda Priestly becomes something much larger: a reflection on ambition, identity, authority, burnout, confidence and the possibility of finding another approach to leading.

Welcome to Play, Pause, Rewind! The world's greatest media podcast, maybe. This week we discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, the sequel to the 2006 film. As with the original film, this sequel stars Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt. A legacy sequel taking place twenty years after the original, this film follows journalist Andy Sachs as she finds herself back at Runway in a new role to once again deal with the personality of industry titan Miranda Priestly as well as monumental shifts in the fashion space.Social Information:Podcast Info: https://linktr.ee/PlayPauseRewind Dylan's Info: https://linktr.ee/DDayMovies Niles' Info: https://www.instagram.com/nilesgotnostylez/Topics and Timecodes:Intro: 0:14The Devil Wears Prada 2:1:40The Devil Wears Prada 2 (spoilers): 11:49Other Stuff: 1:12:13Outros: 1:33:06
In this episode, we sit down with Arianna Davis Santana, Executive Editor of Digital at the TODAY Show, to explore what it really means to build a career at the center of modern media, and what ambition looks like once you're inside it.Arianna's career spans some of the most influential names in media: from Oprah Daily (formerly O, The Oprah Magazine) to the TODAY Show, where she now leads digital strategy and editorial direction while also appearing on-air to break down what's trending online.Before that, she helped launch OprahMag.com, the fastest-growing site launch in Hearst Magazines' history, and later helped lead its evolution into Oprah Daily. She has also shaped editorial storytelling at Refinery29, where she wrote deeply reported features and personal essays centered on culture, identity, and the lived experiences of women.Across every chapter of her career, Arianna has been inside the rooms where modern media is shaped - interviewing icons like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Will Smith, and more, while also building digital platforms that define what millions of people read, watch, and share.But this conversation goes far beyond titles.We talk about:-The evolution of ambition in modern media-What success actually feels like once you achieve what you thought you wanted-Why leadership sometimes requires a little “Miranda Priestly energy”-How authenticity, kindness, and authority can coexist in powerful women-And how AI, digital culture, and storytelling are reshaping the future of mediaArianna also opens up about the deeper lessons she's learned along the way, including how career setbacks, reinvention, and visibility all shape who you become when no one is watching.At its core, this episode is about rewriting success, redefining ambition, and learning how to lead without losing yourself in the process.

In the third episode in this series of conversations around The Devil Wears Prada, Julia speaks with Öznur about the relationship between excellence, fear, creativity, and psychological safety — and whether the kind of environment created by Miranda Priestly still has a place today.Reflecting on her early years working in London design agencies, Öznur describes environments where relentless pressure, perfectionism, and long hours were normalised in the pursuit of excellence. Like Miranda, many of the figures leading these spaces were deeply committed to producing exceptional work. But the conversation asks an important question: does commitment to excellence inevitably require harshness?Öznur speaks candidly about the impact of fear-based environments — how they create stress, mistrust, and competition within teams, while slowly eroding creativity and confidence. Rather than bringing out the best in people, she argues, these cultures often prevent talented individuals from contributing fully.A central theme in the episode is the importance of psychological safety. Öznur reflects on the kind of environments she has consciously tried to build throughout her own career — spaces where people feel trusted, supported, and able to speak up, including the quietest voices in the room.The conversation also explores the tension between empathy and standards. Julia and Öznur discuss the challenge of balancing care for people with clarity around performance and expectations — and why avoiding difficult conversations does not necessarily help teams thrive.Returning to Miranda Priestly, the episode reflects on how differently her behaviour might be viewed today. Was she simply a product of her time? Or have expectations around work, wellbeing, and leading fundamentally changed over the last twenty years?Together, Julia and Öznur explore a more sustainable vision of excellence — one built not on fear and control, but on trust, clarity, stability, and collective creativity.About the GuestÖznur is a design and research leader with 20 years of experience in the field, working in complex industries like healthcare, life sciences and technology.A champion of cross-disciplinary collaboration and psychological safety, she leads her teams and her organisations towards delivering better services to their users. She is also a trained horticulturist and a garden designer, and enjoys bringing gardening metaphors to her work as much as possible.Öznur is currently heading up design at Isomorphic Labs, and she previously held similar roles at Genomics England, DeepMind and Google.
A movie from 2006 looks like it could have come out last year. The cars are the same. The computers are the same. The fashion, the cinematography, the music -- all of it effectively unchanged. Chris and Daniel use The Devil Wears Prada as a lens to ask a question that goes well beyond film: has Western pop culture simply... stopped moving? The conversation covers the film's craft -- Meryl Streep's uncommonly restrained performance, why the movie works better than it has any right to, and why Daniel reads Miranda Priestly not as a villain but as a Whiplash-style manifestation of what the main character actually wants. But the real thesis is bigger: the iPhone, social media, the collapse of risk-taking across studios and streaming, and why neither audiences nor executives are really to blame -- the incentive structure is. Chris and Daniel also get into the sin-eater problem, why indie film has lost its live-wire energy, and what it actually takes to stop doom-scrolling and just make the thing.

The Devil Wears Prada has become iconic. Anne Hathaway's cerulean sweater. Meryl Streep's silver hair and clipped “that's all” dismissal. The pop songs, the score, the fashion world excess. Just hearing the title instantly conjures images from the film for millions of people. And while it's common knowledge that Streep's Miranda Priestly was inspired by Vogue editor Anna Wintour, fewer people realize the story began as a novel: a lightly fictionalized account written by Wintour's former assistant, Lauren Weisberger. Now, with a movie sequel hitting theaters, Arnie looks back at Weisberger's original 2003 novel and its follow-ups, Revenge Wears Prada and When Life Gives You Lululemons. Join him as he dives into the world of chick lit and reveals just how dramatic a makeover the original book received on its way to becoming a Hollywood phenomenon.
Adam and Josh discuss how The Devil Wears Prada 2 softens Miranda Priestly’s edges and why, despite mealy‑mouthed social commentary, the legacy sequel mostly works as comfort viewing. Along the way, they make the case that Meryl Streep is still the movie’s true luxury item. Plus: is it time for a Fitspotting spinoff?

In the original “The Devil Wears Prada,” a hapless Andrea Sachs stumbles into the office of Miranda Priestly, the exacting editor of Runway magazine and a titan of the fashion world. The film, released in 2006, was adapted from a novel by the former Vogue staffer Lauren Weisberger, and it spun the glamour of the industry into a crowd-pleasing confection for the big screen. Two decades later, the atmosphere of its sequel is darker. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the reality-inflected elements of the new film, which finds Priestly and her team chasing clicks and catering to the whims of billionaires who might solve Runway's financial woes. The question of billionaire influence was also present at this year's Met Gala. The event's lead sponsors were the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who reportedly donated ten million dollars to become honorary co-chairs. Attendees paid a hundred thousand dollars just to get in the door. Why, the hosts ask, does the gala still matter to the average fashion enthusiast? “It's the one time where, divorced from utility and other reasons, it's O.K. to just look at fashion,” Cunningham says. “I tend to defend our opportunities to just look at things that provoke pleasure.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:The 2026 Met Gala“The Devil Wears Prada” (2006)“The Devil Wears Prada 2” (2026)“Guys Are Wearing Slutty Little Reading Glasses Now” (GQ)New episodes drop every Thursday.

This week, Julia Turner and Dana Stevens are joined by Slate's own Rebecca Onion to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, BEEF season 2, and the NYT's best living songwriters package with Slate's music critic Carl Wilson. Twenty years on, we return to the world of The Devil Wears Prada. In the sequel, Andy, Anne Hathaway's character, must save Runway Magazine from the forces of capital, who are selling the Vogue-analogue for parts, as Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly struggles to hang on to her own power. The movie has a lot to say about the state of journalism and media with plot lines seemingly ripped from the gossip pages, but does it all come together in the edit? We discuss. Then, the second season of A24's anthology series BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a volatile millennial couple who enter into a feud with a younger couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton. Set at a rich Californian golf resort and its environs, the show satirizes class and generational resentments as the characters scramble to claim the scraps of their betters at the expense of everyone else. The characters are mostly unlikeable, and the premise might be a little less original than the first season, but given BEEF's stacked cast and pedigree, does the show sizzle? Finally we're joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and author of the newsletter “Crritic!” to discuss the New York Times package: The 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. Carl submitted a ballot for the list, and the polished version isn't too far from his submission. He gets into his picks and discusses what the list is saying about the field of songwriting and the idea of a songwriter as it's been expanded to include non-traditional instrumentation and digital composition. But like all lists it has sparked debate about the inclusions (Carole King, Stevie Wonder) the exclusions (Randy Newman, Liz Phair, David Byrne) and whether Taylor Swift's inclusion was solely to get an interview. Together with Carl, we try and make sense of the list and talk about our favorites. As promised, here is Carl's full ballot (The asterisks indicate people who Carl voted for but who have since died):Willie NelsonSmokey Robinson Bobby Braddock *Brian WilsonBob DylanCarole KingRandy NewmanDolly PartonStevie Wonder*Sly StoneThe Flatlanders (Butch Hancock/Jimmie Dale Gilmore/*Joe Ely)Tom Waits & Kathleen BrennanNile RodgersDavid ByrneMark EitzelChuck D & the Bomb SquadJimmy Jam & Terry LewisStephin MerrittLiz PhairJohn Darnielle (The Mountain Goats)Missy Elliott & TimbalandThe Love Junkies (Hillary Lindsey/Lori McKenna/Liz Rose)Outkast (Big Boi/Andre 3000)Josh Osborne/Brandy Clark/Shane McAnallyPhoebe BridgersEndorsements: Julia: The SNL sketch featuring Teana Taylor, Grandpa At The Wedding.Rebecca: The new Lord Of The Flies adaptation on Netflix.

“Living for the STREEP” Series: We are here to celebrate the career of Mary Louise Streep….now known to most as Meryl Streep who has become widely known by critics, film-lovers, and audiences as likely our GREATEST LIVING ACTRESS. Ever since her earlier breakout roles in the late 1970's in films such as The Deer Hunter, and Kramer Vs. Kramer, she has carved out a filmography filled with brilliant performances in memorable films spanning a variety of genres including biopics, thrillers, family dramas, AND comedies. During this time, she has also earned a STAGGERING TWENTY-ONE Oscar nominations including THREE wins. Over the next several months, I will be revisiting one notable Streep film each month – each highlighting a different type of performance – culminating with the May 1 release of the long-awaited sequel featuring one of her more ICONIC roles as Miranda Priestly, The Devil Wears Prada 2.The Wait is Finally Over. It has been almost twenty years since the original The Devil Wears Prada hit theaters, featuring one of Streep's most celebrated performances which she also received an Oscar nomination for. She's back as Miranda Priestly, once again leading the fashion magazine "Runway" though times have changed the magazine (like all print media) is now struggling....making matters worse, a new scandale has erupted online further putting Miranda's future (and the magazine's future) more at risk. Fortunately whom else should return to the magazine but Andy Sacks (Anne Hathaway) to maybe save the day? Infact several of the key players from that first film are ALSO back including Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, and Tracie Thoms....along with some new additions to the cast including Kenneth Branaugh, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Luciy Liu! Let's see if this highly anticipated legacy sequel lives up to the hype.....

Episode 313: The Devil Wears Prada 2 In this episode, we return to the world of high fashion, ambition, and impossible standards as we break down The Devil Wears Prada 2. We explore how the sequel builds on the original's themes of identity, power, and personal sacrifice—while asking whether success still comes at the same cost in a changed cultural landscape. From evolving workplace dynamics to the legacy of Miranda Priestly's influence, we dig into what this continuation gets right, where it reinvents itself, and whether it earns its place alongside the original. Is this a natural evolution… or a bold redefinition?

Anna Wintour graces the cover of Vogue's May issue alongside her theatrical double: Meryl Streep in the role of Miranda Priestly, from “The Devil Wears Prada,” whose much-anticipated sequel comes out on May 1st. Wintour and David Remnick spoke last fall on the day that a sea change took place at Vogue: it was announced that Chloe Malle would take over the editorial direction of the American edition of the publication. They discussed her storied career; her decision to wear Prada to the premiére of “The Devil Wears Prada”; and how Remnick might up his fashion game: “Forgive me, David, but how boring would it be if everybody was just wearing a dark suit and a white shirt all the time?” This segment originally aired on September 5, 2025. New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
