Why I’m So Excited for The Devil Wears Prada 2 - And Why the Soundtrack Makes It Even Better

I didn’t expect to feel this excited about a sequel, but here we are.

Ever since I first watched The Devil Wears Prada, it’s held a permanent spot in my comfort-movie rotation. There’s just something about that mix of fashion, ambition, sharp dialogue, and unforgettable characters that never gets old. So when I heard that The Devil Wears Prada 2 was finally happening, I was already all in.

But what really pushed my excitement over the edge? The soundtrack.

The newly released The Devil Wears Prada 2: Music From The Motion Picture feels like a perfect extension of the film’s world—stylish, bold, and unapologetically glamorous. And as someone who loves a good movie soundtrack, this one hits especially hard.

First of all, the lineup is stacked. We’re talking artists like Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, SZA, and Laufey—basically a dream mix of sounds and vibes that somehow still feels cohesive.

But let me be honest: the biggest highlight for me is Lady Gaga.


The Devil Wears Prada 2

Not only is she part of the soundtrack—she has three original songs on it. Three! That alone makes this feel like an event. Her tracks—“Shape of a Woman,” “Glamorous Life,” and especially “RUNWAY” with Doechii—bring exactly the kind of energy you’d expect from the Runway universe. “RUNWAY” in particular feels like it was made to blast while strutting down a sidewalk like it’s your personal catwalk.

Take your Mimosa Bar to the Next Level with this easy Woodruff Syrup Recipe!

Some flavors instantly transport you back to childhood. For me, woodruff syrup is one of them. Growing up in Germany, Waldmeister (woodruff) was everywhere — a nostalgic, sweet herbal flavor that felt as common there as blue raspberry flavors are here in the United States. Whether it was in candies, sodas, desserts, or traditional drinks, that unmistakable green flavor was part of everyday life.

Now living in southern Arkansas, I wanted to bring a little piece of that nostalgia into my own kitchen. The best part? I grew the woodruff myself right in my garden. You can, too! Find seedsfor less than $8 HERE!

Bringing a Favorite Childhood Flavor from Germany to Southern Arkansas!

Woodruff is surprisingly easy to grow and care for. It thrives in shady areas, prefers moist soil, and practically takes care of itself once established. It spreads gently, making it a beautiful ground cover while also providing fresh leaves for recipes like this syrup.


Making homemade woodruff syrup turned out to be much easier than I expected. The process is mostly hands-off, letting time do the work while the flavors slowly infuse into the syrup. The result is a vibrant, fragrant syrup that captures the fresh herbal sweetness of Waldmeister perfectly.
