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.

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.

And honestly, it just makes sense. Gaga’s whole artistic identity—fashion-forward, theatrical, confident—fits so naturally into the Devil Wears Prada world. Having her so deeply involved in the soundtrack feels like the franchise leveling up in the best way.

Beyond Gaga, I love how the soundtrack balances high-energy pop with softer, more emotional moments. Tracks from artists like Olivia Dean and RAYE add a breezy, reflective layer, while others keep things upbeat and runway-ready.

And then there’s the film itself. Seeing Meryl Streep return as Miranda Priestly alongside Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt feels surreal in the best way. It’s like stepping back into a world that defined a whole era—but with a modern twist.

All in all, this sequel feels like it understands exactly what made the original so iconic while bringing something fresh to the table. And the soundtrack? It’s not just an add-on—it’s a huge part of the experience.

If you loved the original like I did, this is one of those rare moments where nostalgia and newness actually work together.

Now excuse me while I go replay “RUNWAY” for the fifth time today.
