From Prada to Popcorn: The Fashion-Fueled Buzz Driving 2025’s Biggest Hits

This week, we unpack the stories shaping the entertainment and media landscape—from Fantastic Four: First Steps holding strong at the box office to the breakout streaming success of Happy Gilmore 2 and KPop Demon Hunters. But the real cultural swerve? The Devil Wears Prada 2 is turning heads and headlines—generating $15M+ in earned media before marketing has even started. We explore the viral TikToks, the Gen Z x Millennial fashion frenzy, and the early brand halo that’s putting luxury labels and licensing execs on high alert. Plus: Freakier Friday’s momentum, Hello Kitty’s Happy Meal takeover, and the surprising YouTube and Spotify winners of the week.

It’s the episode where fashion meets fandom—and marketing gets a masterclass.
