It shouldn’t be monumental to celebrate women receiving equal pay, but in a world where women STILL make 81 cents to every dollar a man makes, we’ll take the win where we can.
Devil Wears Prada 2 was a celebration of nostalgia and female empowerment, and the empowerment continued off screen as well. Meryl Streep, who played Miranda Priestly in both the original movie and the sequel, could have demanded way more money for her reprised role, but instead, fought for her and her co-stars, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt to have equal pay and negotiated it in her contract. Each woman received 12.5 million each for their roles in the Devil Wears Prada 2.
WOMEN. SUPPORTING. WOMEN. THAT. IS. ALL.
