The sequel is rumoured to depict Miranda Priestly at the sunset of her illustrious career. The acclaimed editor-in-chief faces challenging times as the traditional magazine business wanes. Will her former assistant, now in a significant new role, be her saving grace? Only time will tell.
Casting Details TBA
Although casting details are still under the wraps, the mere thought of Streep, Hathaway and Blunt reuniting is electrifying. Recent events at the 2024 SAG Awards, where the three presented the Best Actor in a Comedy Series award, have further excited the fans.
The Story Behind the Iconic Character
Did you know? Streep’s villainous character, which won her a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy, is supposedly based on a real-life person. Word is, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour was the inspiration behind Miranda Priestly. The connection? Lauren Weisberger, the author of the original “Devil Wears Prada” book, used to work as Wintour’s assistant.
From a Sequel Book to a Musical
You may already know that Weisberger penned a sequel novel, “Revenge Wears Prada,” in 2013. Now, it’s being made into a Broadway-bound musical, with none other than Elton John composing the music. Vanessa Williams has clinched the lead role, and UK audiences already have a head start with pre-West End performances underway at Theatre Royal Plymouth.
So, strap in die-hard fans and newbies alike; it seems the runway journey of Miranda Priestly is far from over. The fashion world’s icy queen is set to return, whisking us away into an exciting, stylish whirlwind. Let’s eagerly wait for more updates. And remember, “Florals for spring?
