00:0020 years ago, a single film redefined ambition, fashion, and fear in the workplace.
00:06Now, the icons are back, and the world is watching.
00:14When the Dewey Weiss Prada hit screens in 2006, it became more than just a fashion film.
00:20It was a cultural reset, introducing the world to the icy, unfavorable Miranda Priestly, played
00:28by Meryl Streep, and the wide-eyed Andy Schatz, portrayed by Anne Hathaway.
00:33A story of power, pressure, and personal identity set against the glossy chaos of the fashion industry.
00:44The film resonated far beyond runways, touching on toxic work culture, ambition versus identity,
00:51and the price of success.
00:53Over time, it became a comfort watch, and a career benchmark for its stars.
01:02Fast forward to 2026.
01:05In Seoul, the legacy continues, as Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway reunite to promote the Devil
01:11Wears Prada 2.
01:13A global moment.
01:15Two decades in the making.
01:19From laughter to flashes of the cameras, the energy is unmistakable.
01:24Fans and an entire generation are reliving a story that never truly left.
01:30Even the symbolism returns.
01:32Red heels are not to the film's enduring fashion legacy.
01:40For Streep, the sequel isn't just about fashion, it's about meaning.
01:46I'm less interested in making a statement about what the film is about, but to say, come to
01:52it looking for fun, looking for the underpinnings of some very serious issues that we are confronting
02:01today, but also just to take from it what you want.
02:11And just like the original, she believes this story will endure.
02:16Everybody in the family will have a different idea about it, but I think it's something that
02:21people will, just as with the first one, watch for years, because it's great.
02:27Hathaway, meanwhile, connects directly with fans in Seoul.
02:30And then to the Korean people, I just want to say what an honor and a pleasure it is to
02:36be back
02:36here, and thank you so much for welcoming us.
02:43But perhaps the most powerful insight, what the first film meant to her career.
02:49This film opened so many doors for me, and it gave me so many opportunities, and because
02:55it became this, this kind of anchor, in my understanding of how audiences responded to me, it, funny
03:01enough, let me take a lot more risks, and make a lot of really weird choices, which is a space
03:07where I'm really happy, because I knew that I kind of had this warm hug to come back to,
03:13at least in this type of film.
03:14A role that didn't just define a character, but shaped an entire career.
03:23And, at its core, the story remains deeply human.
03:28I think that our focus was to try to play characters and try to play people honestly.
03:34And hopefully, by reflecting that authenticity and that honesty, people will see themselves in it.
03:44Two decades later, The Devil Wears Prada isn't just a film, it's a legacy.
03:50And with The Devil Wears Prada 2, the question isn't about what's next.
03:55It's whether the world is ready for the devil again.
