What happened: Meryl Streep reprises her role as Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada 2," a sequel set in an evolving media landscape. The film introduces new characters, including young assistants at Runway magazine, and features a high-profile soundtrack with new music by Lady Gaga. Several celebrity and fashion industry figures, including Donatella Versace, appear in cameos.
Where coverage diverges: Left-leaning outlets like ABC News and Rolling Stone emphasize the film’s new cast and Lady Gaga’s musical contributions, framing it as a generational handover in pop culture. Center outlets NME and Mashable focus more on the soundtrack and celebrity cameos, with Mashable highlighting fan appeal for Lady Gaga’s “little monsters” and fashion insiders. ABC News spotlights interviews with young actors, while others omit this human-interest angle.
What's missing: None of the outlets examine the film’s portrayal of contemporary journalism ethics or labor dynamics in fashion media, a blind spot particularly for left-leaning sources that might otherwise critique workplace representation.
Headlines focus on Lady Gaga's involvement and soundtrack details, with lean-left outlets using more engaging language. Center outlets provide straightforward coverage of content and cameos.
