All the Outfits Andy Sachs Wears in The Devil Wears Prada 2

Ask anyone who works in fashion publishing, and they’ll most likely tell you that their career aspirations began after seeing the glamorous women working in magazines in early 2000s chick flicks. Now, with the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 on May 1, it feels like a full circle to be reporting on the wardrobe of the characters that played a pivotal role in where I am today.

Though I’d never be so brazen as to throw my work phone in the Fontaines de la Concorde whilst on a business trip during Haute Couture week, the trials and tribulations of the film’s protagonist, Andy Sachs, taught me a lot about the underbelly of luxury journalism. The biggest lessons? Never navel-gaze during a run-through, dare you trigger a scathing monologue about the importance of cerulean blue, and if the title’s creative director offers to transform your look by loaning you designer call-ins, under no circumstances should you turn that down.

Indeed, the original’s makeover scene is one of the most memorable moments throughout the entire run time, and despite Andy ultimately walking away from her role as Miranda Priestly’s assistant in search of something more aligned with her values, it’s clear the wisdom she gleaned during her time there certainly isn’t lost in the sequel. And, with Anne Hathaway returning for the sequel, it’s apparent that the Academy Award winner leveraged her own status as a fashion darling to help dress the formerly hapless second PA.
