There is a specific kind of woman who watched The Devil Wears Prada and walked out of the cinema having completely missed the point. She felt sorry for Andy, she found Miranda cruel, she made herself a cup of tea, and never thought about it again.
And then there’s us.
We have been quoting this film quietly and not so quietly ever since. Two decades later, “That’s all.” still ends our internal monologue after a bad meeting. “Florals? For spring?” remains the only acceptable response to a predictable mood board. And “Details of your incompetence do not interest me” has become a full philosophy of management.
Here’s the thing about The Devil Wears Prada. It was written with one villain and ended up giving us an entire ensemble of quotable, disturbingly aspirational characters. Yes, Miranda Priestly was supposed to be the cautionary tale and became the most watchable woman in the room. But Nigel was serving hard truths wrapped in cashmere. Emily was suffering for the fashion cause and entirely committed to every second of it. And Andy? Andy had her moments, too.
Now, with a sequel finally here, it feels like the right moment to revisit the lines that have lived rent-free in our heads for 20 years. Below, GRAZIA brings you the quotes from The Devil Wears Prada that we simply never got over.
“Details of your incompetence do not interest me.”
“Gird your loins.”
“You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo’s; I saw it.”
“I love my job. I love my job. I love my job”
“Can you please spell Gabbana?”
“By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.”
“The Chanel Boots? Yeah I am.”
“Is there some reason my coffee isn’t here? Has she died or something?”
“Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. Means it’s time for a promotion.”
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”
“You have no style or sense of fashion.”
“Cerulean.”
“Please bore someone else with your questions.”
“That’s all.”
