Revenge is a dish to be served cold: The Devil Wears Prada, and never sleeps
The viewer feels a certain attraction to the villains of the movies, often not even too hidden. If the villain is Miranda then, with her sharp charm and iconic hits, the attraction can become veneration. It is almost hoped that in the sequel "win" on Andy:
"After leaving Runway, Andy managed to build a successful career as an investigative writer in one of the most important magazines in New York: she also found a good balance with her boyfriend Nate. All is well until the magazine begins to suffer from serious financial problems, so much so that its publisher approaches Miranda Priestly for a potential merger with Runway: The devil has never forgotten Andy’s talent and sees this merger as an opportunity to bring her back to her world. Andy reluctantly accepts, given the precariousness of his job, convinced that this time he will be able to keep control of the situation. However, Miranda has not lost her manipulative touch: she begins a subtle psychological battle between the two, with Miranda imposing increasingly demanding demands and Andy trying to maintain her integrity and independence. Exhausted, she decides to face Miranda openly, declaring that she wants to leave Runway to follow her own path. Admired by Andy’s determination, the director still manages to win: thanks to her influence, she ensures that Andy gets a prominent position in another prestigious magazine, away from Runway, but where Miranda still has some influence. In this way, he maintains control over Andy, though indirectly: his influence will always be a presence in the professional life of the former assistant".

From stables to stars: The Devil seeks heir
For the "eri come l'oro ora sei come loro" series, Andy turned into what she hated and, surprise, she doesn’t regret it:
"Even the devil retires: Miranda has suddenly decided to retire; Runway remains without a guide and risks losing his identity. It unleashes a frantic race for the heir to the throne of fashion: Andy, eager to claim his place in the fashion world and determined to redeem himself from the harsh lessons of Miranda, begins to orchestrate a series of games under the table to discredit potential successors. Emily, now project manager of a prestigious European fashion house, emerges as a leading contender for the role. However, Andy, with the help of old contacts in the industry and some strategies, manages to expose a series of financial problems that undermine Emily’s candidacy. Nigel, meanwhile, tries to re-enter the fashion world as an independent designer of great success: even for him will be enough a farcical scandal to destroy his credibility and his aspirations. With each contender eliminated or compromised, Andy emerges as the obvious choice to take on the role of director: the same cunning tactics, The relentless determination and desire for success at all costs that she once had found repellent in Miranda have now become part of her own behavior.
