Not Just Blue, Cerulean: Returning to Color, Twenty Years Later, for The Devil Wears Prada 2
Some films arrive with a look so specific they become part of culture. The Devil Wears Prada is one of them. Its world of polished offices, immaculate tailoring, and that now-iconic cerulean (not just blue) monologue became as visually recognizable as any line in the script. Returning to that world 20 years later meant walking a careful line of preserving what made the original timeless without letting the sequel feel like an imitation of its past.
The film reunites the original main cast - Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci - with director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna, and introduces an all-new runway of characters, including Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Justin Theroux, Lucy Liu, Patrick Brammall, Caleb Hearon, Helen J.
