In this week's episode of GlowJob, Sasa and Julia are doing a full breakdown of the Devil Wears Prada sequel — and they're not holding back. From the rise and fall of fashion editorial power, to why Miranda Priestly being nice feels deeply wrong, to the $20M paychecks each lead actress took home — this is the cultural analysis you didn't know you needed. What we cover:

  • The cultural landscape of Vogue in 2006 vs. 2026

  • How fast fashion, Instagram, & TikTok dismantled the old editorial pipeline

  • Why Condé Nast is now actively promoting a movie about its own irrelevance

  • Emily Blunt's character as a Lauren Bezos send-up

  • The AAPI representation conversation (Lucy Liu deserved MORE screen time)

  • How much each actress was paid — and Meryl Streep's legendary negotiation move

Then, celebrity makeup artist Kelly Zhang (Kelly Zhang Agency, Pasadena) joins to share:

  • Her 3-to-5 golden ratio face-mapping technique

  • The "no-makeup" makeup approach explained and how it works for everyone

  • How to layer concealer vs. foundation for different skin concerns

  • The right blush color for your skin tone

  • Cream vs. powder products and which to use first

  • Setting spray as a primer hack

  • The salmon undertone secret for hereditary under eye dark circles
