Following its May 1, 2026 theatrical release, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has secured a 77% Tomatometer score on 240 reviews, Certified Fresh status pending final top-critic tallies, surpassing the original film's 75% through praise for Meryl Streep's iconic Miranda Priestly, Anne Hathaway's evolved Andy Sachs, and sharp commentary on media layoffs and digital disruption. Critics hail the glamorous costuming, fan-pleasing cameos, and breezy sequel energy from director David Frankel, though some decry a formulaic plot lacking the 2006 hit's breakthrough spark. Bolstered by a $77 million domestic opening and $233 million worldwide gross, audience scores hit 87% on 2,500+ verified ratings. Watch for score shifts with incoming reviews this week, as box office momentum and streaming metrics could influence late critical takes.
