Dialogues are the backbone of The Devil Wears Prada. From ‘heidious skirt conventions’ to the ‘glacial pace that thrills’, the lines are razor-sharp, endlessly quotable, and packed with subtext. These dialogues, in the last two decades, have achieved cult status. They have played a huge role in maintaining the film’s popularity. And, the sequel understands this legacy.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 leans into similarly crisp, memorable writing. It keeps the wit intact, ensuring that once again, it’s the dialogue that elevates the story into something iconic. And, most of them are handed to Emily Blunt.
