I did find enjoyment in this installment, though it doesn’t measure up to the original film from “Runway” magazine twenty years ago. It seems "Miranda" (Meryl Streep) isn’t quite as sharp as she once was; after a public misstep, she's on the defensive with a publisher who wants her to apologize and keep advertisers happy. Things get more complicated when he brings in a new features editor, “Andy” (Anne Hathaway), recently laid off from another job. Fortunately for Andy, "Nigel" (Stanley Tucci) is still around to help her navigate this tricky situation as she tries not to offend anyone. One of the people they need to keep on their good side is Dior, and it turns out the original “Emily” (Emily Blunt) is now in charge there, enjoying the chance to make her former boss uncomfortable. Andy has a lot to prove to her doubtful and distant boss, which becomes even harder when the publisher makes a fool of himself and his son sees an opportunity to bring in consultants to "streamline" this extravagant magazine. Will they manage to work together? Can they even rely on each other? What I missed most was Streep’s commanding presence. Her witty remarks and sense of superiority feel softened here, partly due to her husband "Stuart" (Sir Kenneth Branagh), and she spends too much time reacting instead of leading. Hathaway and Tucci do a decent job reprising their roles, but the changed relationship between Andy and an Emily who feels somewhat sidelined didn’t quite gel for me. There's too much focus on the production’s access to real fashion shoots, celebrity contributors, and the authentic glamour of the industry while the story itself seems to wander aimlessly. It does make a valid point about how journalistic standards are being compromised by automating creative processes for both financial and simplistic reasons, presenting those attitudes and public indifference effectively at times—even if the sheer extravagance of this world might be hard to accept if you’re struggling to pay your bills. It's still an enjoyable escape but feels restrained; like Miranda in meetings where her assistant constantly keeps her in check, it has been toned down and lost some of its bite.
