THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
SYNOPSIS
In the dizzying world of New York fashion, where
size zero is the new 2, six is the new 8, and a bad
hair day can end a career, Runway Magazine is the
Holy Grail. Overseen with a finely manicured fist by
Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) – the most powerful
woman in fashion – Runway is a fearsome gauntlet
for anyone who wants to make it in the industry. To
make Runway the fashion bible of New York and
therefore the world, Miranda has let nothing stand in
her way … including a long line of assistants that
didn’t make the cut. It’s a job no self-respecting
person can survive, yet it’s an opportunity a million
young women in New York would kill for.
A stint as Miranda’s assistant could blast-open the
doors for recent college graduate Andy Sachs (Anne
Hathaway). More college drab than haute couture,
she stands alone among the small army of
“Clackers” on staff at Runway – superslim fashion
divas clacking their stilettos down the halls of the
magazine’s Manhattan headquarters. But when
Andy comes in for the job, it dawns on her that
making it in this industry will take more than drive
and determination.
And her ultimate test stands before her in head-to-
toe Prada.

Miranda can spin the fashion world like a basketball but has a devil of a time finding and keeping a
good assistant. Andy is completely wrong for the job. But she has something the rest of them don’t:
she refuses to fail.
To become the perfect assistant, Andy will need to make herself over in Miranda’s image. Soon, much
to her boyfriend’s (Adrian Grenier) dismay, she can talk the talk, walk the walk (in flawless Manolo’s)
and never again confuse Dolce with Gabbana. But the more of life she sees through Miranda’s eyes,
the more she begins to grasp that Miranda’s world is a fabulous but lonely one – and that sometimes
great success depends on great sacrifice…but at what cost?
