The Devil Wears Prada is often seen as a film about fashion — but it’s really about ambition, identity, and the price of success.

With the sequel releasing May 1st, we revisit the original and break down why it works so well — from Meryl Streep’s iconic performance as Miranda Priestly, to the deeper themes around success, compromise, and growing up.

We also dive into:

• The biggest differences between the book and the film 
• Whether Nate is actually the villain 
• Why Andy’s arc is so effective 
• And why this film is one of the most rewatchable of the 21st century 
• And so much more!
