"The romance between Miranda and Benji offers comic relief while also delivering a bleak commentary on how wealth can buy cultural influence."

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Miranda Priestly is portrayed as less dominant, taking orders from advertisers and a publishing magnate. The introduction of Benji Barnes, an eccentric billionaire, threatens her established excellence. His relationship with Emily, Miranda's former assistant, highlights the impact of wealth on cultural power. The film contrasts the Type A fashion queen with a nerd-turned-billionaire, providing humor while addressing deeper themes of money's influence in media. Benji's character draws parallels to Jeff Bezos, especially post-divorce, while his ex-wife embraces philanthropy.
