The Devil Wears Prada is now it’s returning 20 years later for an encore. Fans of the iconic movie are thrilled to see Meryl Streep reprise her role as Miranda Priestly alongside Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs. As OG, we can’t help but commiserate with the incoming audience. The story and plot of The Devil Wears Prada may be a bit of a trigger for first-time viewers, particularly those in Gen Z. Regardless, its millennial audience is counting down the days, eager for answers to the lingering questions they’ve been holding onto for years. Will The Devil Wears Prada 2 finally address them? For instance, did Andy ever get rid of her boyfriend? Did Miranda Prisely ever make things up to Stanley Tucci’s Nigel?
What Is the Movie The Devil Wears Prada About?
The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 film about an aspiring journalist, Andrea Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway), who takes up a temporary job at a big-time fashion magazine as the second assistant to the editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep).
At first, Andrea didn’t think much of the job and didn’t think much of the “fashion magazine” world either, and this reflected in how she performed her duties and even in her appearance.
Miranda Priestly was a tough boss who expected absolute perfection from her employees. However, Andrea could not rebook a last-minute flight from Miami to New York during a hurricane, disappointing Miranda Priestly, who, according to her, was more disappointing that the other assistants. A scalding pep talk from Nigel later and Andrea got the push needed to prove that she actually wanted the job, forcing her to improve her looks, which later translated into the way she performed in her role.
Just when Miranda Priestly began to warm up to Andrea Sachs, Andrea Sachs once again broke one of Miranda’s house rules, leading Miranda to give her impossible tasks to find probable cause to let her go. But Andrea Sachs could prove herself one more time, thereby taking their relationship to a whole new level and leaving Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton behind.
Why Did Miranda Give the Promotion to Jacqueline Instead of Nigel?
It was always evident that Miranda was quite ruthless from the start. However, placing Jacqueline as the president of James Holt International instead of Nigel was a really ruthless but desperate move to save her own job.
Miranda Prietly betrayed Nigel to keep Jacqueline from taking her position as the new editor-in-chief of Runway. This was the plot twist that absolutely no one saw coming.
This plot twist between Miranda and Nigel is almost like a cliffhanger as to what happens next between Miranda and Nigel: Does Nigel resent Miranda? Or does Nigel walk away? One thing was sure, however: based on The Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer released on February 1, 2026, it seems that Miranda Priestly never made things up to Nigel, as he remained by her side. But how long has it been, anyway?
Did Andrea and Nate End up Together?
If you watched really closely, Nate was basically a jerk. His response when Andy informed him of her new job at Runway was, “You got a job at a fashion magazine—was it a phone interview?” He also famously said, “Come on, you’re gonna be answering phones and getting coffee. You need a ball gown for that?”
On whether Nate had reasonable cause for his attitude toward Andy and her job, the audience remains torn: Was he justified, or was he simply insecure?
Regardless of where fans stand, it would have been nice to get some real closure. Andy’s linkup with Christian Thompson in Paris felt like an absolute dead giveaway that her relationship with the chef was over. Still, their last convo proved that it may now be closed, leaving the door open for new romances for Andrea Sachs.
Why Did Miranda Smile at the End of The Devil Wears Prada?
Miranda Priestly’s smile at the end of The Devil Wears Prada (2006) because, even though Andy left her job at Runway to not only prove but to stop herself from becoming like Miranda Priestly, it was clear to Miranda Priestly that walking away from Runway would have been her move. Miranda Priestly smiled at the end of The Devil Wears Prada because she was both disappointed and impressed by Andrea Sachs.
