Things Everyone Ignores In The Devil Wears Prada

Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada is one of those characters we find ourselves rooting for despite how despicable she is. This likability is pretty much inevitable when Streep finds herself playing a villain, and the movie is rounded out by an exquisite cast, including Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci. The characters are so likable that it’s easy to ignore the strange things that occur in the comedy-drama.

It's been more than a decade since the film came out, so there are a few things that haven't aged too well. Here are some things that everyone ignores in The Devil Wears Prada.

Honestly a part that they fucked up on is that her boyfriend is a chef. A NY chef. He would be working three times as much as Andy. I'm a professional chef. We work like 70 hours a week. He wouldn't have time to miss her.

The real mystery to me : why would an aspiring journalist NEVER do any research to a company that she intents to apply ?

[pili]

When her bf and friends started playing with her phone while Miranda is calling and she gets mad, everyone is like "Jeez, what a stuck-up". I was soooo pissed!! They sucked!

I figured Nigel was dressing her on a daily

[RandomPerson-bjsu]

She did not refuse to eat the sandwich because of calorie concerns. She didn't eat the sandwich because she was so exhausted and frustrated by her job that she lost her appetite. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[TheQueenBB]

Um Nigel had been styling her the entire time until she picked out something herself. He was still styling her up until Paris. As we can see by the end of the movie she went back to a similar version of her previous style when it was all left up to her. I'm gonna need yall to get this right before you make up an entire list of the movie and nearly get everything wrong. 🙄

[rmapcynan]

The problem I always had was that her friends, as mentioned, were happy to take all the 'gifts' she gave them, but then bitched and complained because she actually started to take the job seriously. The boyfriend wasn't particularly supportive either.

However, Nigel is right when he says she wasn't even remotely trying when she started, and was whining instead of committing to the job. She couldn't win.

I don't think anyone took the Harry Potter thing as realistic lol

[millssadae]

My question was how was he complaining about her job when he was a chef in new York like how do you have time off

[HelTra]

"Stiil, there's a lot of strange things that everyone ignores in this film" no honey, that was you. A lot of things were answered in this movie.

The plate costs more money than the steak. It's an Hermes plate with has gilded lettering.

[infjgirl]

I know it’s a small detail, but I loved the part where - after weeks or months of barely eating anything for Fashion week - Emily just grabs the chocolate pudding and roll, stuffing her face while berating Andy saying Andy didn’t deserve designer clothes because “You eat CARBS, for Christ’s sake!!” 😂

[rafsanAhmed]

Andys biggest mistakes was still loving that selfish boyfriend who whines for his birthday. And those senseless, selfish bunch of friends.

[taylorgayhart]

Stoped watching because LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE WAS EXPLAINED BY THE MOVIE!!!!

[LM-tint]

Answer to second question: Nigel is dressing her all along just like the first outfit. That's how she's getting all those gorgeous clothes. We learn that in Paris when he complements her outfit and says: "Did you put this together yourself?" And when she says yes. He says: "My work here is done."

[sandravirgalitte]

I stopped watching after the first entry. They do explain why Miranda hired Andy. Andy’s little speech about her work ethic struck a chord with Miranda. Also, none of Emily’s previous hires had worked so Miranda was giving the “smart, fat girl” a chance. At the end of the movie, Miranda states that Andy reminds Miranda of herself. Have you actually watched the movie??

[jay_caanodii]

Her unsupportive boyfriend and friends would’ve gotten dropped super quick!!

[gracenurse]

I think it’s strange the heroine’s seen as betraying her coworker by going to Paris when the former is hospitalized. Is she supposed to give up her job because a coworker’s hit by a car?

[nienkeh]

At the end nate was all like ‘we have nothing in common anymore because you’re into fashion now’, as if all he ever liked about her were her ugly sweaters

[Christiangjf]

There's a deleted scene which you can find here on YouTube. It explains why Andy so unprepared for the interview and didn't even know who Miranda was. The reason is because she was placed on runway through an agency that same day.
