The Devil Wears Prada, is a movie adaptation of a novel written by Lauren Weisberg's released in 2006. Stars Anne Hathaway in the role of Andrea Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City to get a job and luckily lands a job as a co-assistant to infamous editor-in-chief of fashion magazine Runway, Miranda Priestly played by Meryl Streep. Also, Emily Blunt plays a role of the bossy and bitchy co-assistant Emily Charlton to Andrea and Stanley Tucci plays the role of Art Director of the magazine and right hand of Miranda, Nigel. 

The movie has proved to be a success, as could be seen form the fact that it became a box-office hit after its release in North American theatres. The sales grossed over $300 million dollars, of which most came from international sales. The film was shoot both in New York and Paris with a budget of $35 million between October and December of 2005.  So, the plot of the movie starts as the freshly graduate from college, Andrea or Andy lands a job in the fashion magazine, even though she had no interest in the fashion industry before landing her job.  However, from the first day of her work, Andrea realises that it is not what she imagined it to be. Her boss, Miranda known for unrealistic demands evreryday and strict persona, lets her know that everything that goes there is her way or only hers. However, as days pass her relationships with her college friends and her boyfriend also suffers, leaving Andrea devastated. And if you know how the story goes along and the pleasant twist that the movie presents along the plot, then go head and watch the movie, I am sure you won't be dissapointed.

The costumes that the cast of the movie was of high importance, as the film was set in the fashion industry and there were even rumors at the time of release that the story of the movie was based on U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who is a big name in the industry and known for her chic and mysterious persona. The movie is also considered as one of the most expensively costumed movies in the history of movie industry.  The stylist who worked for the movie said to believe that at least $1 million worth of clothing items were used to costume the characters of the movie.

 I guess I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in seeing a little glimpse of how people are in the fashion industry and what goes behind the scenes, the movie as critics say the movie does a good job in their depiction of the industry.
