The Devil Wears Prada is one of the films that defined a generation. Yet one actress has candidly shared that her experience on set was deeply challenging...
In 2006, this cinematic gem hit theaters: The Devil Wears Prada. A massive success, it captivated audiences worldwide. For the uninitiated, here's the premise: Aspiring journalist Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) lands a job as assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), the formidable editor-in-chief of the elite fashion magazine Runway. Life in such a prestigious editorial office proves anything but serene, completely upending Andy's world.
The Devil Wears Prada left an indelible cultural mark and, 15 years on, remains a fashion film benchmark. While audiences embraced it wholeheartedly, a lead actress has revealed she struggled deeply during production.
To authentically portray the acerbic Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep immersed herself fully in the role—isolating herself from the cast off-set. This solitude took a heavy toll, leaving her profoundly affected. During a 15th-anniversary cast reunion hosted by Entertainment Weekly, the actress opened up:
Though Streep felt isolated, her co-stars hold glowing recollections of the multi-award-winning icon. At the same reunion, Emily Blunt, who played first assistant Emily Charlton, shared her admiration. Anne Hathaway described Streep as "intimidating" yet underscored her "benevolence".
