The Devil Wears Prada 2 held its world premiere this week, and early reactions have since begun rolling in from critics who attended the screening. Notably, the responses share a striking consensus about the long-awaited sequel, with one particular element consistently drawing repeated praise across reviews.

What are the early reactions to The Devil Wears Prada 2?

The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiered last night, and first reactions have since praised the sequel as a worthy follow-up. Notably, Variety’s Jazz Tangcay called the film “phenomenal” and described the script by Aline Brosh McKenna as sharp and witty. Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin labelled the movie “a biting media parody wrapped up in high fashion.”

Gird your loins, the devil is back in all her glory! Yes, #thedevilwearsprada2 is phenomenal. It is the perfect sequel that exceeded all expectations. Aline Brosh McKenna’s script is sharp and witty. We’ll be quoting this for years to come. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily… pic.twitter.com/FG58zwYa28

David Frankel directs the sequel, which sees Andy (Anne Hathaway) return to Runway as Miranda (Meryl Streep) attempts to keep the magazine afloat. Emily Blunt reprises her role as Emily, now the head of a luxury brand holding the keys to Runway’s survival. Stanley Tucci, Tracie Thoms, and Tibor Feldman also return.

Critic Matt Neglia praised the cast on X, writing that Hathaway, Streep, Blunt, and Tucci “slip back into their roles as if no time has passed, while finding new shades in their characters that thread the fine line between nostalgia and the present day.” Neglia highlighted the film’s commentary on modern media as a key strength.

Hard to imagine anyone who’s a fan of the first film being disappointed with THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. It’s funny, charming, and filled with genuinely heartwarming payoffs.

The Movie Podcast’s Daniel Baptista called the sequel “a FUN and FIERCE sequel that makes a statement,” adding that Hathaway and Streep “SERVE in every single frame.” Yahoo Entertainment’s Brett described the film as “quite charming and fun, despite that awful trailer” and predicted it would become “a massive hit.”

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. pic.twitter.com/oD1RUSEkID

Rendy Jones echoed the praise for the film’s media themes, writing that the sequel said “support your publications and the journalists who are the real arbiters of taste” while still delivering a great movie. Critic Tomris Laffly offered a more muted response, noting parts of the film felt “like a documentary on the painful state of journalism.”

I'm stunned that a tentpole, studio summer blockbuster sequel said "support your publications and the journalists who are the real arbiters of taste" on main — and still managed to be a relatively great movie. If nobody got us, DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 got us. More soon. pic.twitter.com/R6beGDM4L7

Didn’t expect parts of #TheDevilWearsPrada2 to feel like a documentary on the painful state of journalism. Glad that a mainstream film unfolds around this urgent reality. Overall, I’m more muted in my reaction than my peers. Still, it’s nice to see you again, cerulean sweater. pic.twitter.com/FZmFgEKjrv
