- While movies are primarily intended to entertain the masses, they also have the potential to teach us significant life lessons. The Devil Wears Prada was a film that introduced me to the world of fashion, all of its good, bad, and ugly. I adore fashion, and this film only adds to my enthusiasm 💞

No such thing as too many coats and jackets! Totally agree!
Haha they’re staples!!🤣
I have 5 winter coats that would be better a fit for the mid-Atlantic and I live along the Gulf Coast. I am not getting rid the coats, any of them.
The only problem is I live in California so I don't really need too many jackets.
Unless you live in any southern state or south of the Mason Dixon line....
You can take the most frivolous item and assign importance to it just by having an air of false confidence.
I always found it weird that someone who wants to be a journalist and has been editor in chief of their college newspaper would not know who the editor of the most famous fashion magazine in the world is (Runway being the movie equivalent of real world Vogue). Even sports critics today know who Anna Wintour is. The fact that Andy was interviewing for Runway wohtout doing any research beforehand was a bit puzzling.
I agree 👍
REAL I’m in STEM and even I know who Anna Wintour is
such an iconic underrated movie. Definitely one of my faves.
Confidence is key! The current job I'm at now, walked in on day one, didn't falter, had absolutely no expectations, but still impressed my boss with how I seemed to get into the flow of things so quickly. Probabaly best first day on the job in my life.
Then on the next day, you got fired. 😂
"This stuff" made a great point how fashion trickles down.
In the book, Emily is more helpful. Andie's friends spiral in their own professions and personal lives. Wiengarten described many of the outfits Andie wore as borrowed. She also damaged many of them so a large portion of her salary went to pay for outfits and footwear she damaged such as splled coffee, cigerette ashes.
Andie had a (second) chance for a dream job. I woud tell Nick, enjoy Boston. Buh-bye. (F/U).
Actually no, there wasn't a mention of her paying for the items she damaged. She only notices that she ruined x worth of product, but if she really needed to pay for that, she'd have been way more careful. Most of the stuff she wears is gifted, with only accessories and shoes being more or less regularly borrowed from the Closet.
If the genders were reversed, Andy would probably understand her bf would only need to endure 1 year in the job and would support him, not make things more difficult for him. Andy made a mistake sleeping with that guy, but that bf was too gaslighting with all that "keeping your integrity" talk
Actually I think Christopher would have been a better fit for her than Nate. The biggest issue Andy had with her work was the fact that her boyfriend and friends were not understanding. Christopher would get her work hours and wouldn't stifle her. Even if he dislikes Miranda, he understands working for her is a golden opportunity, and he also understands the publishing word and how much work goes into it, and how much you have to commit. He'd be happy with a relationship with Andy where they don't see each other as much (don't live together either, it's a new relationship) but the time they spend together is great. Sure, he wouldn't be her one true love, but not every boyfriend needs to be your one true love. Sometimes you just need someone you can hug every once in a while who kisses you and tells you you are doing great, and then you spend time talking about stuff you both like and understand. A chill relationship, where the guy wouldn't be prissy if you missed his birthday party for work because he knows you can meet the following day for a private celebration between the two of you.
It always bothered me how they had no communication. I think that was the main thing that ruined her personal life. They never talked. Her friends and bf had no idea what was going on at her work, all the crap Miranda was giving her and the struggles she faced and managed to overcome. I feel that if there was better communication going on, her bf and friends would be more understanding. But then there wouldn't be enough drama to make the movie interesting.
Btw I think I would be a little upset if my boyfriend missed my birthday so I kinda understand Nate on that.
I mean at least the relationship was on hold before she actually did anything with the other guy.
He was absolutely not gaslighting her, he was just being a piece of shit. Words have meanings, especially in regards to abuse.
Unpopular opinion here. Disclaimer: I am not a huge fan of Nate. However I think the Internet is really hating on him when in reality Andy did make certain mistakes that warranted specific reactions.
1. She did sleep with Christian (after her and Nate broke-up) but prior to that, Andy & Christian were obviously very flirtatious e.g. Andy's friend's art gallery
2. Yes she had long working hours and Nate should've been more respectful of that. BUT she did miss Nate's birthday and I think if the genders were reversed and a man missed his gf's bday, a big field day would ensue.
3. Andy also contributed to the mockery and hatred of Runway Magazine to which Nate mirrored her sentiments & actions.
4. He was right to be pissed when he found out Andy was going to Paris without telling him. Although perhaps not to that extent.
Again, I am NOT a fan of Nate - he's annoying and whiney at the best of times. But I can understand SOME of his actions. Her friends on the other hand were just awful & immature - if my mates stuffed around with my work phone while accepting all my lush designer things, I would be LIVID!
I felt a bit sorry for Nate when she missed his birthday. I think he was more sad about the fact that they were growing apart than the fact that she had missed his special day.
Re point 2: it’s ONE birthday. Sometimes people have to miss those for work functions, it’s not the end of the world or even a pattern of behavior. She’s been there for her friends every other time, she only missed one event (she even goes to Lilly’s art gallery later)
I'm so so happy you said that about the coats and jackets. I was feeling a lil guilty. I was going to get rid of some. Now I have an excuse to get more
So glad I found your channel, just the kinda content I love!
Eeekkk Yayy I’m so glad🥰💞
Me too
Actually FROM THIS FILM, I don’t see why the working environment is so toxic (apart from starving yourself) … Andy knew beyond nothing when she first came into the scene, and even though her colleagues weren’t exactly cheering her on … her boss tolerated her and gave her enough tries until she succeeded in her job her acid-tongued coworker always revealed to her exactly what to do to survive (based on her own experience of course) and Nigel looked out for her from the beginning. That Andy stabbed Emily in the back is not a testament to the viciousness of fashion industry … it’s ANY industry so long as you want to climb high enough.
I mean…super early and late work hours (made clear especially by Andy’s dad’s words), the diet culture being pretty rampant (Emily’s eating disorder and also what Nigel says, about 0 being the new 2-it’s common), Miranda having exacting standards which are, at times, impossible (or at least extremely difficult) to meet. It’s a fairly toxic environment
Another lesson learned....don't date Andie's boyfriend!
Love the content and chanel btw, great work 😊
After I firmly said, "I really don't care about fashion", the woman I deeply fell in love with recently recommended me this movie, she insisted a couple times and even said that, in a certain way, "I'm Andy". My life has not been particularly good these past months, tough days, constant feeling of drowning, even in shallow waters, I felt like I lost the little confidence I gained throughout the years and that I don't fit...
I liked the movie and though I catched a couple of messages and made kind of appreciate the fashion biz more I still struggled in understanding certain points, attitudes, hidden messages, etc. This was such a great and pleasant video to analyze. I've still need to figure by my own certain things, but this video definitely helped me understand key points. Thank you very much for this, I hope you have a great day and you wardrobe full of nice shoes and jackets.
Great video and advices !! I have been hearing about this movie since a long time but haven't watched it yet, but now it had caught my attention so thank you. Glad I found your channel, sending you love from Egypt ♡
my prom dress was also inspired by this. i love my prom dress so much💕
Just discovered your channel. I love your content ❤
Thank you💞
This is just SO GOOD !!!
Aww thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed!!
love love love this.
Love your content 💕💕💕
Thank youuu🥰
If you look at Andy's diary you notice her appointment was with Elias Clarke a epy of Conde Nast or newscorpe not runway magazine, she wasn't trying to work for miranda/the fashion industry and in the deleted scenes with HR she is given a choice as an admin for auto universe or runway, there is no evidence she had applied for other jobs as a journalist. She was probably seeing about freelance opportunites for the magazines and newspapers Elias clarke owns.
Really like Emily with dark hair. Totally works in this film
You wore a black prom dress too??!! Everyone thought I was insane for wearing a black dress but I loved it!!
That was my exact situation too!! My Mom made my dress and lucky she saw my vision🤣
I'd love to see Ugly Betty!!
I was super unhappy with the ending of this movie. This girl had the opportunity of a lifetime and threw it all away for a trash bf.
That’s all
Mrs doubt fire
I know sounds weird that’s my aunty and uncle Condé things out it in a museums lol
In a g l a s s stand thing with perfume on top and room for shoes 👞 her jewelry is in the wonderland lol 😂 she said if I use it put it back where it belongs I can do that!. lol 😂
I just like looking at Anne Hathaway
I’m not kidding right if they take my Olaf away well far far away from me that’s my kids lol
Lesson 1: Avoid toxic people like that stupid BF and her jealous friends. They were hypocrites doing the same things she did wishing they could be in her place! I didn't like the ending at all! My ending would be Miranda and Andie kissing each other so hard in the car! xD
You got fanfiction for that lmao
the age gap and the power inbalance would make this ending very weird
@@blancaaaaaaa that pairing is really popular, there's a FB page with 1000 active users.
What??? That would be weird! She’s like a mother figure to Andy!
Why do you guys always have to sexualize female relationships, though?
"never too many jackets" how big apartments you people have?
I'm really conflicted with Miranda.
In one hand I understand a "strong confidente women" energy and I understand her position. But does she have to be a total b*tch to other and maintaining/gaining respect by fear?
Even though she create an empire of fashion and everybody respect her for her sucess, she is still alone because she thought she has to hide herself behind a fake personality who consumed her. By doing that she created a really toxic workplace. Her employees fear her, i'm sure almost half of them are in therapy, and also they are mimicking her awful attitude. (Emily, when she first met Andy was unnecessary rude). Btw Emily almost died for her job (pleasing Miranda) and Miranda sent her 2nd Emily to "get rid of the trash".
I know it's possible to be a respected boss woman or man and also keeping some decent relashionship in the workplace.
Honestly I really like her as a movie character but I don't understand why people view a "role model" or "goal" in her when she is sad, lonely, mean and dare I say pathetic?
(Good video and Sorry for my bad english).
I absolutely love this take on Miranda! I think you’re spot on. Her fierce confidence gets things done but creates such a negative workplace!
@@CampbellStudio Thank you :).
I really fell like a lot of people forget that Miranda is not just "Prada" but she's also 'the devil" and sometimes they are to quick to call her an icone or a goal.
It's easy to obtain a dream job but at what cause? Talking by experience a dream job can become a nightmare and most of the time this toxic workplace is hidden by "fake glitters" and the idea we have about the our dream job or the sucess or the product we are creating.
Btw if Miranda knew the value of her work/the fashion industry why would she care about what Andy a journalism graduate who didn't think much of fashion thought. Re the cerulean monologue.
@@ronaldfasshauer4390 I never talked about Andy. Of course Miranda doesn’t care about what she thinks. And yes Andy was a mess when she arrived.
Miranda doesn’t need anybody approval, she’s the boss, she knows her job, she does it great and she knows what she wants.
However, I really believe that the way she’s acting at her job is unnecessary rude, mean and it’s straight up humiliating for her employees. When she’s asking for a steak or an unpublished book hoping Andy would fail and get the fuck out of here is petty. She also backstabbed Nigel for an obscure reason. And the fear that Emily shows when she forget one name of Miranda’s “friend” at her party just show how everyone is afraid of her. I could go on with a lot of examples. But the point I tried to make is that her success and work ethic are admirable it is a fact. But her personality and her attitude are not healthy and are not a a good example to follow.
I understand that sometimes a workspace can be chaotic and that everybody has to suck it up because of deadlines and stuff. But show some appreciation and respect to your employees. Just a “thank you” or a “congratulations”.
Miranda knows her power and she’s not afraid to use it.
Um no. Everyone doesn't have those kind of values. Money, fame, power, isn't the total measure of success. If your self image is tied with what you cant afford then when you fall on hard times, so will your self image be drawn down. Being happy shouldn't be tied to just those things.
Using her prayers what else!. lol for everyone to see!. lol 😂 seek forgiveness
Cerulian is iconic? Not buying into that.
It is
The fashion industry should be considered a bellwether of everything wrong with humanity.
Honestly 😅
