CBS journalist Gayle King said the film "The Devil Wears Prada 2" made a "really good point about the media" [1].
King's perspective as a veteran broadcast journalist lends weight to the film's depiction of industry dynamics. Her endorsement suggests the sequel moves beyond fashion satire to offer a critique of modern information dissemination.
King spoke during the 2026 [1] Met Gala on the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City [1]. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said that she had already seen the movie twice [1].
While the film focuses on the high-pressure environment of the fashion world, King said the narrative effectively addresses how the media operates [1]. She did not elaborate on the specific scenes or plot points that informed her conclusion, but she said the film's commentary was accurate [1].
The Met Gala serves as a primary intersection of fashion and media, making the venue a fitting backdrop for King's remarks on the sequel. The film follows the legacy of the original story, exploring the evolution of the industry in a digital age [1].
King's comments highlight a recurring theme in the sequel regarding the tension between traditional journalism and the rapid pace of contemporary media cycles [1].
“"The Devil Wears Prada 2" made a "really good point about the media"”
The endorsement of the film by a prominent journalist suggests that the sequel attempts to satirize the structural shifts in the media landscape. By focusing on the operational mechanics of the press, the movie likely addresses the transition from traditional print power to the influence of digital platforms and social media.
