It's unbelievable that eighteen years have passed since the iconic film, The Devil Wears Prada, was released. The drama is more than just stiletto strides and fashion designing; rather it transformed our perception about the fashion world. On the other hand, the performances of Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are absolutely unforgettable. Even this year, the trio appearing at the SAG Awards as the award presenters, made a huge buzz on the internet. This shows how much people are in love with the trio and eager to watch them together in another flick.
The Devil Wears Prada plot
Driven by the dream of becoming a famous journalist, Andrea Sachs, aka Andy, a fresh graduate, ventures into New York City. Soon she lands a job as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, who is one of the most cutthroat magazine editors in the US. Will Andy be able to fulfil her dream? Or will she quit after realising her self-worth?
How does The Devil Wears Prada end?
The last few minutes of the film have inspired scores of people. While leaving the party in a car, Miranda’s compliment acts as a turning point for Andy. When Miranda acknowledges that she sees her younger self in her, Andy realises she doesn't want to follow Miranda’s footsteps. Miranda’s ruthless ambition, prioritising her career over personal life and satisfaction prompt Andy to resign from the company and her dream job to live life to the fullest.
What did Andy realise in the end?
Imagine a world of designer dresses and Paris runways, where ambition gleams brighter than diamonds, but can lead to destruction as well. The film whispers the truth louder than Miranda Priestly’s excessive demands. The movie tells us that it's okay to walk away sometimes. The message is clear: don't be a prisoner in a gilded cage, no matter how shiny the bars are.
