Golden Week Movie: The Devil Wears Prada 2 – Moved by Andy and Miranda After 20 Years
Hello, I’m Etoupe Abstracts (Minako Yamaoka-Tojo), a cardiologist and abstract acrylic painter in Tokyo.
During this year’s Golden Week, my family and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada 2, which was released on May 1, 2026. It was a wonderful, fulfilling two hours that flew by in an instant.
Twenty years ago, when the original film came out, I was deeply inspired by Andy’s journey—her growth through failures and successes, the stunning fashion, and the stylish offices and homes. At that time, I was in the midst of raising two young daughters: rushing from after-school care to ballet lessons, eating ice cream with my younger daughter at a café while revising medical papers during my older daughter’s piano lessons. Amid that chaotic daily life, I watched the passionate professionals at Runway with envy and admiration.
Now, two decades later, I found myself empathizing not only with Andy but also deeply with Miranda’s perspective. The story of delivering peak performance under extreme pressure and turning crises into opportunities was thrilling and intense. The fashion was breathtaking, but what struck me most were the numerous beautiful paintings adorning the walls of Andy’s and Miranda’s homes and offices. The way art seamlessly elevated those sophisticated interiors left a strong impression.
As an artist, I couldn’t help dreaming: “How wonderful it would be if one of my paintings could find a place in such a stylish space someday.”
My abstract works, inspired by emotional healing and the gentle flow of nature, my abstract works are created with the aim of bringing peace and beauty to our busy daily lives.
We are currently running a Summer Sale on Saatchi Art. I would be thrilled if my paintings could become part of your daily scene, just like in the movie.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you also get a chance to enjoy this fantastic sequel!
