The Devil Wears Prada (2006) - Movie Review
A Devil Wears Prada Still Holds Up as a City Life Classic
summarizeEditor's Summary
I recently rewatched A Devil Wears Prada and it still holds up as a classic city life movie. The comedy-drama has a cast of super interesting characters and scenes that keep me hooked. I love Miranda Priestly's character - she's not what you'd expect from a high-powered executive, and that's what makes her so compelling. The movie's themes of ambition, relationships, and identity are timeless, and the fashion elements are gorgeous, even for non-fashionistas like me.
