Devil Wears Prada 2 Mocks Bezos & Sánchez

The sequel to "The Devil Wears Prada" has generated buzz for its sharp satire, reportedly targeting tech titans Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. Emerging details from early screenings suggest that Emily Blunt's character, formerly an assistant, has evolved into a fashion influencer whose persona mirrors that of Sánchez Bezos.

Blunt's character is depicted as the partner of a billionaire tech mogul, portrayed by Justin Theroux, who undergoes a transformation upon gaining immense wealth. This character is rumored to be a composite of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. A subplot also delves into persistent rumors about the Bezos couple's interest in acquiring Condé Nast, the publisher of Vogue.

The film's premiere coincides with the Bezoses' co-chairing of the 2026 Met Gala alongside Anna Wintour. This event, along with Wintour's own promotional efforts for the film, adds layers of intrigue. Protests against the Met Gala, referencing Amazon's labor practices, have also surfaced, highlighting broader societal discussions. Wintour has actively engaged in the film's marketing, appearing on magazine covers and at events with the cast, a notable shift from her initial reaction to the original film's satire.
