Devil Wears Prada 2: Hollywood's Expensive Nostalgia Trap (+ MUA Kelly Zhang)

This week on GlowJob, Sasa and Julia break down the long-awaited Devil Wears Prada sequel with the deep dive it deserves. They set the scene by unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the past 20 years — the collapse of print media, the rise of fast fashion, how TikTok killed seasonality, and why Miranda Priestly's kind of power simply doesn't exist anymore. The cerulean sweater speech made sense in 2006. Does the sequel make sense in 2026? They dig into everything: the character arcs (or lack thereof), the surprisingly softened Miranda Priestly, the Emily-as-Lauren-Bezos subplot, the AAPI representation debate, and how Condé Nast essentially co-signed a movie about its own industry's decline. Plus — Meryl Streep brokered a favored nations deal so her co-stars each walked away with $12.5 million. Classy queen behavior. Then, celebrity makeup artist Kelly Zhang joins the pod to break down her signature "no-makeup" makeup philosophy, her proprietary 3-to-5 golden ratio face-mapping technique, and her pro tips on concealer order, blush color selection, cream vs. powder, and the one product she says instantly elevates any routine. Whether you're a fashion girlie, a film nerd, or just someone who wants flawless skin — this episode has it all. -------- 🎧 New episodes every Thursday.
