Streep received a best actress nomination from the Screen Actors Guild for her performance in the movie.
Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, the aspiring journalist who takes a job as a co-assistant at a major New York fashion magazine and faces mistreatment from her editor. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci also reprise their roles from the original. Streep, speaking to Out magazine, described the opportunity to return after two decades: “I feel so lucky to be able to come back to something we did 20 years ago.
Who gets to do that? We've had a whole lifetime. Look at Stanley Tucci! He's blossomed! ” Streep highlighted the film's strong connection to the LGBTQ+ community. “It makes me so happy! Would we have fashion without gay people?
Forgive me, would we have anything? I wouldn’t know how to put together anything. It’s a joy to have made it with [the LGBTQ+] community in mind. Top of mind,” she said. She noted the sequel's broad appeal during international screenings: “It’s cross culture.
We’ve just been around the world with this. The reaction is the same in Mexico City as Tokyo, as Seoul, as Shanghai... I honestly was surprised. ” The character of Miranda Priestly drew inspiration from Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
