This video features an extended conversation between host Jenna Bush Hager and the cast of the upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. The group reflects on the enduring legacy of the original 2006 film and discusses their experience reuniting two decades later.

Key takeaways from the discussion:

• Return to the roles: The cast discusses why Aline Brosh McKenna's screenplay provided a compelling reason to return beyond just nostalgia, focusing on how the characters have evolved (3:36-3:59).
• Modernizing the story: The sequel explores the significantly changed landscape of journalism, technology, and media (5:23-6:30). The cast notes that the shift in power dynamics and the pressures of the digital age influence how their characters navigate their lives and careers today (13:30-14:32).
• The New York experience: The cast shares what it was like filming in New York City again, noting the "magical" feeling of returning to iconic locations while managing the reality of modern fame and social media presence (16:48-18:22, 19:12-20:00).
• Reflecting on the original: Meryl Streep shares insights into her approach to the character of Miranda Priestly and how she negotiated for her worth early in her career (20:36-21:56). The cast also discusses fan-favorite lines, such as "Gird your loins" and "That's all," as well as their behind-the-scenes bonds (26:07-27:45).

Do We Know Each Other?

This video, titled Do We Know Each Other?, features a witty and stylish encounter between Anna Wintour and the character Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) as they wait for an elevator.

Key moments from the interaction:

• The Recognition Attempt: The two icons struggle to place where they might have met, cycling through high-profile fashion events such as the Chanel show at the Grand Palais (0:25), the Oscars (0:33), and the Met Gala (0:36), only to dismiss each possibility.
• The Subtle Jabs: The conversation is filled with sharp, fashion-world subtext. Miranda Priestly notes that perhaps the other has seen her "work" (1:08) and adds, "I don't care if it's not coming out until next year. I want it now" (1:14-1:17), a clear nod to the demanding nature of the industry.
• The Fashion Critique: The tension concludes with a brief, deadpan exchange regarding each other's outfits—"Cool shoes" (1:27) and "Nice boots" (1:29)—before the elevator doors close.
