As The Devil Wears Prada gears up for a confirmed sequel with Meryl Streep on board, let’s revisit some of the veteran actor’s top-ranking female-led films
The Devil Wears Prada released way back in 2020 and with each passing year has only further cemented its cult status. Everybody doesn’t prance around their workplace in Jimmy Choo stilettos, Dolce sheath dresses and a bright orange designer poncho (the girls that get it, get it!). But the magical world of Runway with Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway’s Andrea Sachs and Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton takes you in the second you hit play. A Puck report has confirmed that the film is up for a definite sequel with Meryl and Emily set to reprise their roles.
This is a good time to remember that Streep was championing female-led films, dubbed as ‘chick flicks’ long before it was in-vogue. Here’s revisiting some of her genre-defining hits.
The Devil Wears Prada (2020) is Hollywood’s luxury-clad love letter to girls the world over. You don’t really need to have your nose buried in fashion magazines to relate to the beautiful chaos this film entails (Andy certainly didn’t). Even if fashion ‘isn’t your thing’, this David Frankel film has something for every corporate girlie trying to make it big in this world. There’s Miranda’s magnetism, Emily’s passion and Andy’s clarity, to pump you full of inspiration. And if that’s not what you’re really looking for at the moment, there’s always the clothes and shoes and makeovers to drool over.
