The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) offers the same biting pleasures as the original, until the three-quarter mark when it goes sentimental and as mushy as a fine Belgian chocolate melting on the heated European Nappa leather seats of a Lamborghini. The AI simulacrum of Kenneth Branagh is remarkable.

Going to see the Devil Wears Prada 2 with the girls, gays and theys, where we’ll inevitably inhale a bottle of rose, a kilo of salted popcorn and then have a 20 minute debrief about why Meryl Streep deserves a public monument on every street corner. That’s what a bank holiday is all about x

Meryl Streep reveals she personally called Lady Gaga to secure a cameo in ‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2’. “I thought, I might as well try her. I just said, ‘Would you do this? Because it’s going to be really good.’ And she said, ‘Yeah!’ Just like that.” #TheDevilWearsPrada2 #LadyGaga
