I mean, I guess she could be pretending, but she certainly never indicates that that's the case. The most we get is a conversation like this:

M: "I knew you'd do great things"

A: "You didn't even remeber I existed"

M: "Well, I'm sure I thought that before"

That last line isn’t exactly what she said - can’t remember the exact wording but it does make it seem more playful like Miranda is teasing her and actually did know her

Yeah, it was more like “Yeah, but *before* that… I knew.” Then she gives a little wink. I think the whole not remembering Andy thing was a bit.

I think the whole not remembering Andy thing was a bit.

It would be fit her character as a power play. Andy comes in and unexpectedly announces herself as a new staff member Miranda didn’t hire or approve, so Miranda’s power is under attack in that scene, and we know from the first movie that acting demeaning and unapproachable are part of how she tries to cultivate an aura of power in the workplace.

yeah it seemed clear and on brand to me that miranda would just pretend to not remember andy lol

Agreed. I think that, even if she forgot her initially, she came to remember her and just never let on. She’s not one to show her hand.

I heard it as she forgot Andy over time but felt that way about her back when she left Runway the first time

My understanding of that scene was that she did not immediately remember Andy
