The Devil Wears Prada 2 world premiere was held in New York City yesterday, and it was a star-studded affair. While we must wait a few more days to watch the much-awaited film, the premiere is getting positive reviews from all over. Arriving nearly two decades after its iconic first instalment, the sequel sees original stars like Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt reprise their roles, raising expectations sky-high.

Daniel Baptista, host of The Movie Podcast, wrote in detail about The Devil Wears Prada 2, "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is a FUN and FIERCE sequel that makes a statement. Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep slip back into their iconic roles with ease and SERVE in every single frame. It feels familiar in the best way, timely in the right ways, and is well worth the wait."

“The Devil Wears Prada 2: A biting media parody wrapped up in high fashion. Every journalist who sees it will cringe from recognition,” posted Alex Weprin of The Hollywood Reporter on X.

The same review further read, "It was very funny, and there were great one liners that will stand up to some of the moments from the fist film. Fans will be thrilled, we don’t see too may theatrical movies like this anymore."

Another comment read, "I just watched The Devil Wears Prada 2 and the movie is about the dismantling of fashion magazines and how billionaires see this opportunity to do marketing for their women. The best character is Emily again."

Acabei de assistir O Diabo Veste Prada 2 e o filme é sobre o sucateamento das revistas de moda e como os bilionarios veem essa oportunidade para fazer o marketing para suas mulheres. A melhor personagem é a Emily de novo
