The (in)famous editor-in-chief of Runway magazine is remarkable for her exquisite taste and commanding presence. Despite her cold demeanor and blunt personality, there&#x27;s no denying that she&#x27;s a woman of power, grace, style, and substance. In the local entertainment industry, when we think of someone who resembles Miranda in a good way and is as legendary as she is, one woman easily comes to mind: Charo Santos-Concio. The former president and CEO of ABS-CBN is known for her sophistication and gracefulness. But when it comes to work, she has established herself as a boss with a solid vision and a steely determination to get things done—and done right, at that!So, it came as no surprise that she was top of mind when 20th Century Studios Philippines and Disney Studios Philippines thought of co-hosting a block screening to promote the phenomenal dramedy film&#x27;s sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2. The event was made possible by the team behind Disney Philippines: Pam Mariano, Head of Integrated Marketing; Bea Antonio, Publicity and PR Lead for Studio Marketing; and Jenny Arceo, Head of Studio Marketing and Franchise.The block screening, held especially for Charo and her family and friends, was held at Gateway Cineplex 18&#x27;s Wolfgang Premiere Lounge Cinema. The media executive-turned-content creator graced the event, embodying the quiet elegance she and Miranda share.As styled by Patricia Coronado, Charo wore a Carolina Herrera A-line coat in taffeta with tonal ostrich feathers at the hem; the piece also features a tonal detachable belt, spread collar, concealed lined snap fastening, and flared sleeves with rolled-up cuffs. Of course, what&#x27;s a Devil Wears Prada-inspired ensemble without the iconic red heels? Charo&#x27;s take on those stilettos was a pair of classic pointed kitty heels by Dries Van Noten. <div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778379487010DWP2-CHARO SANTOS-91.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/> </div><div></div>The sequel hit the big screen 20 years after the first movie&#x27;s release. In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Miranda—alongside Nigel (Stanley Tucci), Emily (Emily Blunt), and Andy (Anne Hathaway)—navigates the evolving media landscape, a reality in which Runway has stopped being a magazine and become an intangible product consumed on devices.Charo works in the media industry and understands the shift in landscape, so the sequel resonated with her, especially because, like Miranda, she is a storyteller herself. In a previous interview with Metro, she commented on the changes in the industry and how she has adapted to and embraced them by exploring a different aspect of content creation. She said, &quot;The internet has really democratized media and content. There&#x27;s just so much to choose from. And just so many platforms. I mean, so many playgrounds, &#x27;di ba? That is available to everyone. So there are so many opportunities. But I think, you know, the secret is still to be able to create compelling content. Because kung ang dami-dami mong pinagpipilian, bakit kita papansinin? Ultimately, I think that question has to be answered by the content creator. Why would I choose your content over anybody else&#x27;s? And therefore, you have to know what you want to say. You have to be authentic and truthful about it. And I think the most important thing is still connection. You want to connect with your audience. Even to an audience of one, you want to make that real connection, I think. Amidst all the noise, &#x27;di ba?... It&#x27;s a different world. And it&#x27;s great to engage with your audience, to stay in touch with your audience, given the shifting landscape in content creation and consumption.&quot; <div style="text-align:center"> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1778381044526DWP2-CHARO SANTOS-33.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div> </div>Post-screening, Charo shared with her social media followers the line from the movie that truly stood out to her, and it was from Miranda Priestly: “But, boy, I love working. I really do, don’t you? I just love it.” Any multifaceted career woman who has learned how to turn her vision into a mission and discovered her purpose in life will be able to relate to how joy and fulfillment have found Miranda and Charo through their work.<div> </div>Photos courtesy of Disney Philippines
