Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), now an award-winning reporter, becomes a casualty of cutbacks at her publication. At the same time, Miranda Priestley (Meryl Streep) is accidentally caught up in a sweatshop scandal through a story she commissioned for Runway, so her erstwhile assistant is recruited to rescue the magazine’s editorial reputation. Upon arrival, Andy discovers that budgets have dwindled, words like “engagement” and “digital” dominate meeting rooms, and perhaps worst of all, Miranda must pander to advertisers including scorned former assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), who now holds a senior role at Dior.
