One of PEOPLE’s Style & Beauty writers shares her honest thoughts on the looks as a longtime fan of the The Devil Wears Prada<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nI would like to formally start this off by saying this: The<\/em> Devil Wears Prada <\/em>is my <\/em>movie.<\/p>\nIt’s the film that reminds me that all isn’t lost when life feels muddled and the one that reminds me I’m in the middle of all the whimsy New York City has to offer. Heck, it’s what got me through those last years of high school when all I wanted to do was dress up while amid a sea of skinny jeans, crop tops and basketball shorts.<\/p>\n
So when the production for the sequel kicked off in June, why was I so anxious?<\/p>\n
I’m a firm believer in the adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” which I know sounds sacrilegious in the era of remakes and sequels (Happy Gilmore 2<\/em>, Freakier Friday<\/em>, Bridget<\/em> what number are we on again? Jones<\/em> \u2014 and so on). But I felt no differently when all those rumored murmurings around the Devil Wears Prada <\/em>sequel \u2014 which is directed by Daniel Frankel, the man in charge of bringing Lauren Weisberger’s novel series to life the first go-around \u2014 finally came true this summer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\nAeon\/GC Images<\/p>\n

Not much has been disclosed about the movie as a whole, but if you’re deep in what’s happening on social media, you’d know that the thing being talked about the most so far is the costumes. Almost every day, I log onto the internet and clock in for my daily writing duties, and there’s another spoiler-filled image of the costumes. Let’s just say, I, like the masses, am not as excited as I should be.<\/p>\n

One part of me sees some of the looks as a win. Nigel (Stanley Tucci<\/a>) is back in his sharp and well-accessorized garb and Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt<\/a>) still has that fiery passion for fashion, and it shows. Nothing’s stopping her from wearing a chainmail necktie and high-heeled Oxford shoes or even going through with a dramatic hair transformation<\/a>.<\/p>\nEven new additions to the cast are delivering exactly what the movie needs, such as Ashley Simone, who was photographed on July 23 in the same Monse dress once seen on Taylor Swift<\/a>, which seemed like a nice nod to current pop culture while serving working girl on the go.<\/p>\n\n![\"Santi](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/DVJ1OlXQZIH1tO1RlkmKSw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTQyMDtoPTY3OTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/53e58d6d6b7c6f408457199468a3d9d8\"\/)

What I’m having a tough time digesting (and I say this will all love) is what we’re seeing on the duo I consider to be the foundation of the franchise: Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep<\/a>) and Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway<\/a>).<\/p>\nTo be fair, I’m not entirely put off by Andy’s new wardrobe. Before her Runway <\/em>makeover, she was a norm-core girl with no interest in designer fashion at all, so I’m glad to see that some of that spark was reignited through colorful and trendy looks.<\/p>\nI’m just confused at the hodgepodge of it all. One minute she’s in a muted suit, the next she’s in a mosaic rainbow frock \u2014 and where does the sparkly purple dress we’ve been seeing her prance around in fit into the equation?
