Why Miranda Doesn’t Remember Andy In Devil Wears Prada 2

by

The trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 shows Miranda seemingly unaware of Andy, and it’s unclear why in this long-awaited sequel. The release of the trailer is exciting news for fans of the original The Devil Wears Prada.

The 2005 film The Devil Wears Prada follows Andy Sachs, a determined new journalism graduate, as she navigates a challenging internship at the competitive fashion magazine Runway. While Miranda Priestley, played by Meryl Streep, starts as a difficult and demanding boss, Andy surprisingly begins to find confidence through their interactions.

The trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 shows a role reversal: Andy is now returning to Runway magazine as a Features editor, much to the dismay of her old colleague and competitor, Emily (played by Emily Blunt). This comes as the print magazine industry is declining.

Miranda Doesn’t Seem To Remember What Happened In The Devil Wears Prada

The trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 suggests Meryl Streep will reprise her role as Miranda with the same cool, distant personality that made the character so memorable in the original film. It even shows Miranda not recognizing Andy when they meet again, highlighting her powerful and detached demeanor.

Nigel explains to Miranda that Andy was simply “One of the Emilys,” meaning she was just another in a long line of assistants Miranda had over the years. This might surprise viewers of the original film, as it seemed Andy had gained Miranda’s reluctant respect by the end.

This comment might be a subtle jab at Andy, or it could signal the beginning of a new rivalry between them after two decades. Andy is coming back to Runway with more influence, and Miranda likely won’t let her old assistant steal her spotlight.

Miranda’s job is famously demanding and stressful, so it’s understandable she might not remember her assistants well. She could genuinely see Emily and Andy as the same, even though they’re very different people. This difficulty in portraying her perspective is a major challenge when trying to create a good story for a potential Devil Wears Prada 2.

Given Miranda’s personality in The Devil Wears Prada, it’s believable she wouldn’t give Andy a second thought in a sequel. She was a ruthless and focused boss who prioritized results above all else, and wouldn’t hesitate to use people to get what she wanted – meaning she likely wouldn’t remember or care about Andy now.

One of the reasons people were excited about a potential Devil Wears Prada 2 was the chance to see how Andy and Miranda had grown and influenced each other since the first movie. Just as Miranda showed Andy the importance of fashion, Andy appeared to teach Miranda the benefits of being more approachable and less controlling.

If Andy Sachs had any effect on Miranda Priestly, it likely just made her a little more understanding and compassionate towards her employees. This is the core problem with a potential sequel to The Devil Wears Prada: Miranda’s outrageous behavior is what makes her such a compelling character, but she can’t simply be a nicer version of herself.

Would Miranda Really Not Remember Andy After 20 Years?

If Miranda didn’t grow at all from her experience with Andy, it lessens the emotional impact of her story in the first movie. While Andy finds her voice by working for Miranda, she also appears to have helped Miranda see her employees as people, not just helpers.

If Miranda genuinely doesn’t recall Andy in the second Devil Wears Prada movie, it suggests that Andy didn’t make a lasting impression on her. Andy might have just been a minor part of Miranda’s career, and Miranda may have forgotten any lessons Andy taught her about leading a team.

Is Miranda Sick In Devil Wears Prada 2?

It’s more likely that Miranda simply didn’t want Andy to recognize her, particularly since Andy’s success has made them almost equals professionally. While Miranda is still the editor-in-chief of Runway, Andy, as Features editor, now holds considerable influence and power.

By pretending she doesn’t recognize Andy, Miranda quietly reminds her who’s in charge. Dismissing everything Andy has accomplished since they last worked together shows Miranda still doesn’t see her as an equal.

Many fans speculated that Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2 might be suffering from memory loss, but the trailer doesn’t support this idea. It appears she’s simply returning to her manipulative and powerful behavior from the original The Devil Wears Prada.
