About the Film

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 American comedy-drama film directed by David Frankel, based on Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel. Anne Hathaway stars as Andy Sachs, a recent college graduate and aspiring journalist who lands a job as the junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, the imperious editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, played by Meryl Streep in one of her most celebrated performances. Initially dismissive of the fashion industry and overwhelmed by Miranda's impossible demands, Andy gradually transforms herself to survive the role, losing her identity and relationships in the process as she is seduced by the glamorous world she once mocked.

Meryl Streep's portrayal of Miranda Priestly — reportedly inspired by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour — was a masterclass in controlled power, delivering devastating criticism in a whispered, almost bored tone that made her more frightening than any shouting villain could be. Streep received her 14th Academy Award nomination for the role, and the character became a cultural icon whose influence extended far beyond the film — the cerulean monologue, in which Miranda explains to Andy how the fashion industry shaped even her supposedly independent clothing choices, became one of the most quoted and analyzed film scenes of the 2000s. Stanley Tucci's performance as art director Nigel provided the film's warmest moments and its most nuanced perspective on ambition and compromise.

The Devil Wears Prada earned $326 million worldwide on a $35 million budget and has endured as one of the most rewatched and culturally resonant comedies of its decade.
