# The Devil Wears Prada 2 Nearly Lost Its Fashion Montage
The sequel to the 2006 fashion classic almost ditched one of cinema's most iconic elements. A new "Vogue" montage featuring Madonna's 1990 hit song nearly got cut from "The Devil Wears Prada 2."
The original film's transformation sequence, set to Madonna's "Vogue," became legendary for transforming Andy Sachs from frumpy to fabulous. That scene cemented the movie's place in pop culture history, even as it borrowed heavily from Vogue magazine itself. Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly character, inspired by real-life editor Anna Wintour, became the blueprint for every cold-blooded fashion boss that followed.
The creative team behind the sequel faced a critical decision. Keep the formula that worked brilliantly in 2006, or risk looking dated with a repeat move. The fact that filmmakers considered abandoning the concept shows they wrestled with sequel logic. Recycle beloved elements and risk accusations of laziness. Scrap them and lose audience goodwill.
Ultimately, the filmmakers kept the sequence. Smart choice. Audiences don't want filmmakers reinventing the wheel when the original wheel worked perfectly. That montage is what people remember. That's what they'll go see.
