More details about the sequel

The film ended with Andy deciding to quit her job and giving away all her outfits from Paris week to Emily.
The original film was based on author Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel about a young woman’s nightmarish experience working at a fashion magazine. The film was a huge commercial success, earning $326.7 million worldwide. The film also got Meryl a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy, and an Oscar nomination.
