Body inclusivity and positivity movements appear to have regressed almost 20 years since the original movie. The character Emily in The Devil Wears Prada is portrayed as avoiding pasta, reinforcing restrictive eating imagery. Emily Blunt reprises the role in a sequel that also features Stanley Tucci, who is her brother-in-law. Promotional emphasis on fashion and discipline over nourishment perpetuates narrow body norms rather than promoting inclusivity. The combined casting and messaging suggest a return to stylized, exclusionary portrayals of bodies in mainstream film, raising concerns about ongoing pressures that shape character diets and aesthetics.
