    Lady Gaga & Doechii's "RUNWAY" (Ep. 15)

    The Devil Wears Prada's loosely based on author Lauren Weisberger's experience working at Vogue. 20th Century Fox adapted her 2003 book in 2006's film. Covering fashion, business, relationships, and social life, the movie changed pop culture and now the sequel is 20 years later. Female driven musically and societal, The Devil Wears Prada 2 's hitting nerves in fashion, magazine, and print media industries. Viewing all sides, I summarize the characters' context, Lady Gaga & Doechii's dance single "RUNWAY", compare both movies' soundtracks, and other songs catwalking the same swag in a custom playlist.  Runway magazine movie site.
