It’s been almost two decades since The Devil Wears Prada redefined how commercial cinema could dialogue with fashion… and pop music. That film not only built a sophisticated visual imaginary; it also designed a soundscape that turned every impromptu catwalk and Miranda Priestly’s every look into a cultural moment. <\/p>\n\n

Now, with the sequel on the way, the big question is not only what story will be told, but what the new Runway universe will sound like.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\n\n

The musical legacy and when pop was a trend-setter<\/h2>\n\n

The original soundtrack was a lesson in musical curation. I didn’t want to be invisible: I wanted to have personality. <\/p>\n\n

Among his selections were anthems by Madonna, U2, Jamiroquai and Alanis Morissette, while composer Theodore Shapiro provided an elegant score that balanced satire, emotion and sophistication.<\/p>\n\n

But if there was one song that encapsulated the film’s DNA, it was “Vogue”:<\/strong> more than a theme, it was an aesthetic statement. It represented ambition, power and style – exactly what the narrative demanded. <\/p>\n\n

Also etched in the collective memory was the use of KT Tunstall’s “Suddenly I See”<\/strong>, a perfect example of how a well-chosen track can elevate a scene to become a generational icon.<\/p>\n\n

The lesson was clear<\/strong>, the music did not accompany the film – it defined it.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

The first audible hint of the sequel<\/h2>\n\n

The return of “Vogue” in The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> trailer doesn’t feel like a casual nostalgic gesture. It’s a smart strategy: reconnect emotionally with the original audience while introducing the story to new generations. <\/p>\n\n

In terms of film branding, few decisions are as effective as reusing a cultural anthem to establish continuity.<\/p>\n\n

This suggests something important:<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udc49 The sequel will probably not abandon the pop DNA that made the original a phenomenon.\ud83d\udc49 It will go for a mix of nostalgia and contemporaneity<\/strong>.\ud83d\udc49 And it will understand, again, that fashion needs rhythm.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Which artists could define the new sound?<\/h2>\n\n

While there is no official track list yet, the current pop ecosystem offers clear clues as to the kind of lineup that would make sense for a film whose central theme remains power, image and reinvention.<\/p>\n\n

Names like Lady Gaga or Rihanna fit almost naturally into this universe: artists who not only produce hits, but also build aesthetic narratives<\/strong> around their music.<\/p>\n\n

If the first film dialogued with the sophisticated pop of the 2000s, this sequel could lean on:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Signature pop with a strong visual identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Elegant electronics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Disco revival<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Refined hyper-pop<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Minimalist ballads for emotional moments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    The key will be – as before – in the curatorship<\/strong>, not in the number of stars.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    The decisive factor: the score<\/h2>\n\n

    One of the smartest moves the production could make would be to bring back Theodore Shapiro.<\/p>\n\n

    Why does this matter?<\/p>\n\n

    Because the score was the emotional glue of the first film. While the songs set the cultural pulse, the original music guided the internal transformation of the characters. <\/p>\n\n

    In an industry increasingly dominated by playlists disguised as soundtracks, retaining a composer with a narrative sensibility would be a sign of creative ambition.<\/p>\n\n

    We would expect a score:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • more modern<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • slightly more digital<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • but just as elegant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Something that reflects a publishing world now traversed by algorithms, social media and experiential luxury.<\/p>\n\n

      \n\n

      What the soundtrack should really do<\/h2>\n\n

      If the sequel wants to live up to its legacy, it’s not enough to rack up hits. It must understand what made the original work<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

      Music should fulfill four key functions:<\/p>\n\n

      1. Build identity<\/strong>Runway is not just a fictional magazine – it is an aspirational symbol.<\/p>\n\n

      2. Marking a transformation<\/strong>Andy changed through his wardrobe, but also through the sound that accompanied it.<\/p>\n\n

      3. Create viral moments<\/strong>Today more than ever, a scene can live forever on networks if it has the right song.<\/p>\n\n

      4. Be culturally relevant<\/strong>Do not follow trends – anticipate them.<\/p>\n\n

      \n\n

      A soundtrack that will once again set the tone<\/h2>\n\n

      Everything suggests that The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em> understands the weight of its heritage. The nod to “Vogue” suggests respect for the past, but also confidence in the symbolic power of music. <\/p>\n\n

      The film will most likely seek the same balance that made it a modern classic:<\/p>\n\n

      \u2714 global stars\u2714 songs with attitude\u2714 sophisticated score\u2714 pop sensibility.<\/p>\n\n

      Because if the original taught us anything, it is this:<\/p>\n\n

      Fashion is seen.Power is acted.But style… is heard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

      And if the sequel gets its soundtrack right, it won’t just accompany the return of Miranda Priestly.<\/p>\n\n

      It will be a trend-setter again.<\/p>\n\n

      \n\n
