For a film that critiques the precarious financial realities of contemporary media, the promotional efforts for The Devil Wears Prada 2 have been remarkably transparent about their monetary aspects. Prior to the New York premiere, Meryl Streep disclosed that she initially declined the part of the icily disdainful fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly in the 2006 debut. This decision was a strategic move to negotiate a higher salary from the film’s producers. The film’s strategy for maximizing revenue, from celebrity appearances to profitable brand collaborations, is as sharp as anything one would expect from the pages of Runway magazine.
