If you are looking for spa Getaway
Lausanne, Switzerland
Movies & Tv Series
There are places you travel to explore.
And then there are places you go to reset.
For me, Lausanne is exactly that—a quiet, refined escape where everything slows down just enough for you to reconnect with yourself. This is my second time coming here, and this is exactly what you would want if you are looking for a 2-3-day spa escape.
Understated, elegant, and deeply calming.

If you’re looking for something high-end, your choice is clear—Beau-Rivage Palace.
The hotel opened on March 24, 1861. A historic 5-star hotel set right on the shores of Lake Geneva. The gardens, the lake views, the atmosphere, and high-quality service. Staying here feels like stepping into a slower, more refined rhythm.

The other option that I would recomend is Hotel Angleterre & Residence. Just a short walk from the lake, and next door from the Beau-Rivage Palace.
The property is made up of several historic buildings that reflect a classic Swiss lakeside charm. At the same time, it has recently undergone a renovation, meaning the rooms now feel fresh, modern, and quite elegant.
A perfect alternative if you want something elegant, but a little more relaxed, a little more intimate, and still very much connected to the atmosphere of Lausanne.

This is where things start to feel… off.
Miranda is no longer the cold, untouchable force we once admired. Instead, she feels softened, and oddly….loud —more emotional, more open. And while evolution is natural, this version doesn’t fully align with who she was.
The Miranda we knew would never casually share her personal ambitions with Andrea in her Hamptons home. She wouldn’t explain herself. She wouldn’t need to.
And visually—her styling choices at times feel disconnected from her identity (that curtain-like jacket… a choice).
But scenes like the cafeteria meeting feel like missed opportunities. The Miranda we knew wouldn’t silently accept chaos. She would’ve controlled it—effortlessly. Even one line, something cutting and precise, would’ve grounded her character again.
The closest we get to the “old Miranda” is that final, sharp “Go.”
That moment works.

Miranda Priestly
Andrea’s evolution feels authentic.
Her confidence, her ease in the world, her social fluency—it all tracks. At times, her emotional reactions lean slightly into overdramatization, but overall, her growth feels earned. Her style is also very real, elevated, and office-appropriate. Reflecting her experience at Runway back in the day, but with her personal interpretation of who she is today.
What stands out most is that she hasn’t lost her core. You still catch glimpses of the quiet strength and awareness she developed by the end of the first film. She feels like a continuation—not a rewrite.

Andrea Sachs
The standout. Personal favourite by far.
He is exactly who we hoped he would be—sharp, loyal, effortlessly charismatic. There’s a comfort in seeing him unchanged.
His line, “My favorite girl,” lands perfectly. It feels real. It reflects history, loyalty, and a connection that didn’t need to be reinvented.

Nigel
Controversial—but convincing.
At first glance, her arc leans into the “gold-digging, vengeful antagonist,” which is easy to dislike. But if you think about it—it actually makes sense.
Emily was always ambitious, sharp, and deeply invested in status. This version of her isn’t a betrayal of her character—it’s an extension of it. Just taken further than we might have wanted.

This film doesn’t fail—it just doesn’t recreate what made the original unforgettable.
And maybe that’s the point.
Just like revisiting a place from your childhood, The Devil Wears Prada 2 reminds you that some things are meant to live exactly as they were—untouched, perfect in memory.
You leave feeling grateful… but also quietly aware that what you loved belongs to a different time.

Final Feeling
Please keep in mind that this is my personal interpretation of the film, shaped by my connection to the original story and its characters—your experience may feel completely different, and I’d genuinely love to hear it.
I wrote this not just as a review, but as a reflection on how certain stories stay with us, and what it feels like to return to them years later.
And one thing that deserves to be said—every single actor looks absolutely incredible in this film.
