What Is ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ Story So Far?
The firstThe Devil Wears Pradafilm primarily follows Andy Sachs (Hathaway), who is fresh out of grad school and ready to start her career. She finds an unlikely jumping-off point when she starts working as an executive assistant at a reputable fashion magazine called “Runway”. She becomes the underling of the infamously controlling and authoritative Miranda Priestly (Streep), who rules the magazine as its editor-in-chief with an iron fist. The unique work experience starts as pure hell for Andy, but the more she works with Miranda, the more she suspects that her boss isn’t quite the monster that she appears to be.
Plot details for the sequel are still under wraps, and it’s not currently clear if the movie will be a direct adaptation of the book’s sequel,Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil’s Return. That said, if you happen to be in New York anytime soon, you won’t have to wait too long for moreDevil Wears Prada.A Broadway musical adaptation of the beloved storyis arriving on the stage soon, with new music byElton JohnandShaina Taubset to breathe new life into the story of Andy Sachs.
