00:00Who put that together for you?
00:02Oh, it's just something I threw on.
00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:07And today, we're looking at the most iconic outfits from both the Devil Wears Prada movies.
00:11A few spoilers, since we will be touching upon how the fashion ties into plot points.
00:17You definitely need an embroidered two-piece totem set, but not the terracotta because you're so pale.
00:24Number 20, Andy's Power Suits, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
00:28In the sequel, Andy Sachs is no longer the girl with the scrappy wardrobe from the first film.
00:33She's not the same Andy who worked at Runway, either.
00:36Andy has evolved her sense of fashion, showcasing the confidence she's gained as a reporter over the past 20 years.
00:43Costume designer Molly Rogers populated Andy's wardrobe with feminine menswear,
00:47channeling Diane Keaton in Annie Hall.
00:49Andy Hall, if you will.
00:51It was natural to reach for feminine menswear because it carried the DNA from where the first movie dropped off.
00:58Returning to Runway as a features editor, Andy's jackets assert that she isn't an assistant,
01:03but rather someone in a position of power now.
01:06At the same time, her loose, wide-leg pants reflect Andy's breezy, more laid-back nature.
01:11Her suits are paired with messenger bags that seamlessly blend practicality with style.
01:16You know what's funny is you've changed.
01:18You have.
01:18You're much more confident.
01:20Oh.
01:20Kept those eyebrows, though, didn't you?
01:22Number 19, Miranda in Black and White, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
01:26To some, Miranda Priestly may seem like a villain, but we know that there are far more shades to the
01:32character.
01:32It's not so black and white, although Miranda can pull off those colors flawlessly.
01:37At a meeting, Miranda assumes the head of the table,
01:40wearing a striped black-and-white jacket paired with a matching shirt, belt, and glasses.
01:45Even Miranda's hair feels like an accessory with this ensemble.
01:48We'd say that this look is very Cruella de Vil-esque, except Miranda isn't wearing any fur.
01:54Fur would be inappropriate.
01:55But it's my only true love, darling.
01:57I live for fur.
01:59I worship fur.
02:00After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who does it?
02:04The gold buttons running up the sleeves also go nicely with Miranda's earrings, bracelet, and rings.
02:09Although Miranda may have to choose her words more carefully in this climate,
02:13her wardrobe still speaks for itself.
02:16Well, what am I not allowed to say?
02:18Methadone?
02:18New Jersey.
02:20Number 18, Amari's Plaid Blouse, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
02:24Amari assumes the role of Miranda's first assistant in the follow-up.
02:28Escorting Andy to her new office, Amari exhibits a Tom Brown ensemble that screams,
02:33I work in fashion.
02:34It's a highly professional look, but one that represents the industry.
02:38Uh, Amari, I need to pee.
02:40Please, I had a venti.
02:41Oh.
02:42Was it worth it?
02:44No.
02:45Her checkered gray blouse almost looks like it was originally tailored for men's business
02:49attire, only to be revamped into something more feminine.
02:52We nearly miss the matching tie, which runs down her neckline to her short, gray skirt.
02:57The sharp structure of this outfit signifies Amari's punctual nature.
03:01I am on time.
03:03So, you're the kind of person who thinks on time is on time.
03:07Okay, got it.
03:08She's someone who has to anticipate Miranda's every need, thus aiming to stay a step ahead.
03:13It's not all business either, as Amari has a clear passion for fashion, especially Chanel.
03:19Can you still have all of it?
03:21No, I gave it away.
03:22What?
03:22Would have been a bit much for a newsroom.
03:25This is you.
03:26Oh!
03:28Who gives away Chanel?
03:30Number 17.
03:31Miranda in tassels.
03:33The Devil Wears Prada 2.
03:35Tassels are a bold choice, but they pay off with this eye-catching outfit.
03:39When I first read the script, this Dries Van Noten jacket popped up in my head.
03:45I've just got to get that tassel jacket in the movie.
03:48She'd ultimately compliment the jacket with a purple shirt and a solid brown skirt,
03:53but it's the tassels that naturally steal the show.
03:56Rogers reserved the jacket for a particular scene when Miranda ventures to the cafeteria
04:00for the first time, sitting at a table of suits.
04:03What's that?
04:04Oh, I don't want that.
04:06I'm having lunch with her.
04:07I'll be back at 3.
04:09I'd like my Starbucks waiting.
04:10We're used to seeing Andy as the fish out of water.
04:13Here, it's Miranda, who finds herself listening to bean counters who don't understand or respect
04:18fashion as she does.
04:20The tassel jacket cleverly emphasizes this contrast.
04:24Suits versus artist.
04:26Art.
04:26Beauty.
04:28And I love that we had that anywhere else.
04:32And I love that she...
04:33That shimmer in the elevator was everything.
04:34I never knew she would do that.
04:36Number 16.
04:37Andy's Hamptons dress.
04:39The devil wears Prada, too.
04:40Fendi, we need that.
04:42The Brunello Cuccinelli pants.
04:44Love those.
04:46As Nigel helps Andy pick out clothes yet again, her eyes are drawn to this cozy outfit for
04:51her trip to the Hamptons.
04:53The patchwork is reminiscent of a stained glass window with hand-embroidered ladders separating
04:57the colorful rectangles.
04:59Andy coordinates this Gabriela Hearst maxi dress with a white bucket hat, along with her sunglasses
05:05and pearl necklace.
05:06It's a look that says, fashion doesn't take a vacation, but that doesn't mean you can't
05:10still go on vacation.
05:12The dress finds the ideal balance between being comfy while simultaneously coming off as striking.
05:18It's tailor-made for a weekend by the shore.
05:20Although, if Runway ever decided to have a casual Friday, we imagine this would be the
05:25most acceptable attire.
05:26You doing anything fun this weekend?
05:29Yes.
05:33Number 15.
05:35Andy's Bohemian Khaki Dress.
05:37The Devil Wears Prada.
05:38I will be back in 15 minutes.
05:40Wish me luck.
05:41No, shan't.
05:42This flowy, earth-toned dress made Andy look casually put together and polished, even as
05:48she frantically rushed through the busy New York streets.
05:51The layered gold necklaces and bracelets add to the bohemian look, while the wide belt
05:55brings structure and definition to the overall silhouette.
05:58Just tell her it can't be done.
06:00You'll have to come up with a plan B.
06:02Well, this Miranda Priestly we're talking about, there is no plan B.
06:05There's only plan A.
06:06Despite the loose and drapey nature of the dress, all of the elements of the outfit,
06:11from the color palette to the accessories, work together to create something that looks
06:16cohesive yet effortless.
06:18Andy may have had a stressful day in this dress, but at least she looked good while doing it.
06:23One copy.
06:25What are my twins going to do with that?
06:27Share?
06:28Oh no, I made two copies.
06:30And had them covered, reset, and bound so that they wouldn't look like manuscripts.
06:33This is an extra copy to have in file.
06:35You know, just in case.
06:37Number 14.
06:38Emily's strong shoulder look.
06:40The Devil Wears Prada.
06:42This is the first outfit we see Emily wearing in the movie, and it's definitely a memorable one.
06:47Andrea Sachs?
06:49Yes?
06:50Great.
06:51Human resources certainly has an odd sense of humor.
06:54Follow me.
06:54First of all, her black statement vest with strong shoulders simply demands attention.
06:59Paired with silver accessories and dark, smoky eyeshadow,
07:02her overall look has an edgy and somewhat grungy vibe, similar to her personality.
07:08Oh, and you're replacing yourself.
07:10Well, I am trying.
07:11Miranda sacked the last two girls after only a few weeks.
07:13We need to find someone who can survive here.
07:15Do you understand?
07:16Yeah, of course.
07:16Emily's choice of clothing let Andy and the world know that she was deadly serious about
07:21her job at Runway magazine.
07:23Andrea, Runway is a fashion magazine, so an interest in fashion is crucial.
07:29Even though the base of this outfit is black and brown, its unique textures and details
07:34make it anything but basic.
07:37She's on her way.
07:38Tell everyone.
07:39Number 13.
07:40Miranda s grey blazer.
07:42The Devil Wears Prada 2.
07:43If Andy can rock a power suit, then of course Miranda can upstage her with ease.
07:49When she walks back into Miranda s office for the first time in two decades, Andy feels
07:53like she can finally approach her as an equal.
07:55Alas, Miranda immediately reasserts herself as a domineering presence, not only with her
08:01icy words and actions, but through a blazer that speaks to her morally grey demeanor.
08:06Who is this?
08:07Do you know her?
08:08Do I know her?
08:09I'm Andy Sachs.
08:11Andrea.
08:12She was one of the Emilys.
08:14One of the what?
08:15This Sanssoufi blazer with high shoulder pads lets Andy know that Miranda is still above
08:20her, even when sitting down.
08:22Standing up, Miranda reveals a matching grey skirt and a set of high heels.
08:26Miranda may fire one person in this scene, but she also freezes out Andy with one look.
08:32I just cost Cornell summa cum laude her job.
08:36First in her family to go to college, I believe.
08:40Anyway, come along.
08:42Number 12.
08:43Andy s post-runway outfit.
08:45The Devil Wears Prada.
08:46Learned a lot.
08:50In the end, though, I kinda screwed it up.
08:54Although this look might not be as glamorous as the others on the list, it represents how,
08:59at the end of the movie, Andy manages to return to her authentic roots, while also incorporating
09:04aspects of the runway fashion world into her wardrobe.
09:08Even though she no longer has access to luxury brands and fresh off the catwalk pieces, this
09:13outfit proves that she's fine on her own.
09:15The thing is, I have all these clothes from Paris, and I don't have any place to wear
09:20them, so I was wondering if you could take them off my hands.
09:25The neutral tones and form-flattering pieces are miles ahead of her old, ill-fitting wardrobe,
09:30and they prove that style doesn't necessarily need to be flashy or eye-catching.
09:41Number 11.
09:42Andy s Milan looks.
09:43The Devil Wears Prada 2.
09:45According to Rogers, there were plans for the sequel to have a Giorgio Armani fashion show,
09:50but the famed designer had grown ill.
09:52Although Armani passed away in September 2025, Rogers would pay tribute to the late icon.
09:58Drawing from fall 2024 couture, Andy attends an event in Milan wearing an Armani-Privé black
10:04sheer blouse, complete with crystallized suspenders.
10:07You know, I absolutely insisted on that Armani-suspended velvet look.
10:13While this may be the most glamorous outfit that Andy dons in the sequel, it's still in
10:18the vein of the feminine menswear that has come to define her style.
10:22Something similar can be said about the Tom Ford tie-neck blouse that Andy wears in Milan.
10:27Between these two ensembles, black and stripes prove to be a winning combo for Andy.
10:32Wait, wait.
10:33That's not what you're wearing to the dinner.
10:35That's all.
10:36Number 10.
10:37Miranda in Milan.
10:38The Devil Wears Prada 2.
10:40Andy isn't the only one who pays homage to Armani in Milan.
10:44Glittering like a disco ball that'll never go out of style,
10:47Miranda arrives at an event wearing a colorful crystal-studded overcoat.
10:52Molly had the instinct of a freer Miranda, unrestrained but still authoritative.
10:58Rogers second-guessed pairing the coat with a pussybow blouse, fearing it would come off as too soft.
11:04Seeing it come together, though, Rogers felt it was still a strong look for Miranda.
11:08This was taken from Armani's final collection, which mirrors the crossroads that Miranda finds herself at.
11:14In addition to being pushed out of runway, Miranda realizes that her legacy may be erased along with everything she's
11:20built.
11:21Her outfit suits this moment of self-reflection, as Miranda contemplates what the future holds,
11:26not only for herself, but for fashion in general.
11:29It's like, there's a few of those people left.
11:33Yeah, it's an homage.
11:34It's a different breed of icon.
11:38Number 9.
11:39Nigel Kipling's three-piece suits.
11:42The Devil Wears Prada.
11:43Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Miranda Priestly.
11:47As Andy's fashion guardian angel and runway's art director, it made total sense for Nigel to have impeccable style.
11:55Throughout the movie, he's seen in a few casual outfits, but his fashion sense truly shines when he's in one
12:02of his various well-tailored three-piece suits.
12:05Rather than sticking to more conventional solid-colored options, Nigel has a way of looking perfectly polished no matter what
12:12pattern he wears.
12:13Did she say why?
12:14Yes.
12:15She explained every detail of her decision-making.
12:18And then we brushed each other's hair and gabbed about American Idol.
12:20I see your point.
12:21One of his most standout pieces is his beautiful blue plaid suit, which he wears to a fashion presentation with
12:27Andy and Miranda.
12:29The three were there to preview a designer's new collection, but Nigel's look nearly stole the show.
12:35So because she pursed her lips, he's going to change his entire collection?
12:39You still don't get it, do you?
12:40Her opinion is the only one that matters.
12:43Number 8.
12:44Miranda's bold gold blazer, the Devil Wears Prada.
12:48Miranda's choice of pairing an eye-catching gold blazer dripping with embellishments together with a simple black dress really sums
12:55up her style.
12:56Luxurious, but still classic.
12:58It's just baffling to me.
13:00Why is it so impossible to put together a decent run-through?
13:03You people have had hours and hours to prepare.
13:06It's just so confusing to me.
13:08Her look commands attention, not that Miranda needs help in that department, and signals to everyone else in the room
13:14that she's in charge.
13:16It's a tough call.
13:18They're so different.
13:20Mmm.
13:26Something funny?
13:27When she delivers her striking monologue about the importance of fashion, her clothing almost seems to add to her authority
13:33with its balance of glamour and business.
13:35And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry
13:41when in fact you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a
13:48pile of stuff.
13:49In this outfit, Miranda really showed Andy why she's the boss.
13:58As Andy climbed the corporate ladder and became more accustomed to the fashion world, her outfits became noticeably more fashion
14:05-forward and edgy.
14:07This maximalist preppy look involved so many different pieces, including a tweed newsboy hat, statement pearl Chanel necklace, white button
14:16-down, and off-the-shoulder black sweater.
14:18Do you have the book?
14:21There were certainly a lot of statement items going on at once, but Andy, with her newfound confidence and style,
14:28was able to pull it off.
14:29This outfit absolutely screams, I work in the fashion industry, and is reminiscent of some of her other preppy looks,
14:37like her collared black dress and Chanel pearl necklace ensemble.
14:40No, if I can deliver the book, then that means I must have done something right. I'm not a psycho.
14:45Number 6. Charlton in Charge.
14:48The Devil Wears Prada 2
14:49Emily has moved up in the world from Miranda's first assistant to Dior's senior executive.
14:55Her grand entrance in the sequel establishes Emily's newfound status, wearing an empowering ensemble that assembles a button-down Dior
15:02shirt, a Widerhoft corset, and a pair of Gautier pin-striped pants.
15:07It sends a message that Emily doesn't work for Miranda anymore.
15:10Miss Charlton, you're glowing. Seems retail still suits you.
15:14Nigel, you're hanging in there by your fingernails? Do you remember when magazines were a thing?
15:18Now, Miranda needs to make accommodations for Emily with the tables turned.
15:22Although this is an Emily who takes charge, the outfit still speaks to her tightly wound nature.
15:28The black satin corset, in particular, hints that there's something Emily is keeping under close wraps.
15:33Emily is a wolf in Dior clothing, which not even Miranda fully realizes until much later.
15:39Emily is a fierce character and deliberately wears clothes to pull focus.
15:44Number 5. Miranda's Black Fur Coat
15:47The Devil Wears Prada
15:48Nothing says power quite like a nearly floor-length, all-black fur coat.
15:53I don't understand why it's so difficult to confirm an appointment.
15:57I know, I'm so sorry, Miranda. I actually did confirm last night.
15:59The details of your incompetence do not interest me.
16:02A piece like this is rarely seen out in real life.
16:05We're most likely to see something like this in the pages of a magazine, on the runway,
16:09or, of course, worn by celebrities and fashion icons like Miranda Priestly.
16:14When she eventually takes the coat off, we see that she's wearing a simple purple boatneck dress.
16:20Also, I need to see all the things that Nigel has pulled for Gwyneth's second cover try.
16:26I wonder if she's lost any of that weight yet. Who is that?
16:29While a bit understated, the richness of the color, combined with its associations with royalty,
16:35subtly indicate Miranda's superior status.
16:38Well, clearly, I'm going to have to do that myself,
16:40because the last two you sent me were completely inadequate, so, sent her in.
16:45That's all.
16:46Number 4. Andy's Dark Paris Outfit
16:49The Devil Wears Prada
16:50Even though Andy felt like a fish out of water in Paris,
16:53she certainly looked the part of chic fashion insider during one of her last days in the city.
16:59Her black gloves, matte red lipstick, statement gold necklace,
17:02and Brigitte Bardot-esque hair gives the whole outfit a classically glamorous vibe.
17:07You want this life? Those choices are necessary.
17:10At first glance, her dress appears to be black and incredibly similar to Miranda's dress,
17:15but further inspection reveals that it's just the shoulder layer that's black.
17:19Miranda?
17:20Miranda, wait, I need to talk to you.
17:23Irv is making Jacqueline Follet, the editor-in-chief of Runway.
17:25Christian Thompson told me he's going to work for her,
17:27and Irv is going to tell you today, so I thought that maybe if I told you that you could
17:31fix it...
17:31Do I smell Frisians?
17:33Meanwhile, the dress underneath is actually a deep forest green,
17:37adding a sense of intrigue to the piece.
17:39No. 3
17:49Emily, Miranda, and Andy's Runway Charity Benefit Ensembles,
17:53The Devil Wears Prada
17:59Although all three women wore the same collar and gown length,
18:02they managed to bring a uniquely personal spin to their own look.
18:06That's John Fulger, the new artist at Retro.
18:09You're the Chelsea man.
18:10Andy's take on the dress code is the most classic.
18:13From her lace-lined sleeves to her red lipstick,
18:16she looks like an old Hollywood movie star.
18:18It's Ambassador Franklin, and that's the woman that he left his wife for, Rebecca.
18:23Miranda's look is similar,
18:24but more dramatic with an off-the-shoulder neckline and subtle sequin details.
18:29Finally, Emily's dress is the most cutting edge.
18:32Unlike the other two, she opts for a tighter fit, spaghetti straps,
18:36and more dramatic beading.
18:37But it's what we've come to expect from Emily,
18:40given her love of interesting textures.
18:43Well, I'm on this new diet.
18:44It's very effective.
18:45Well, I don't eat anything.
18:46And when I feel like I'm about to faint, I eat a cube of cheese.
18:50Number 2
18:50The Devil in Red
18:52The Devil Wears Prada 2
18:53After so many years away from the silver screen,
18:56how does Miranda Priestly return to the spotlight?
18:59Rogers and Meryl Streep both had the same immediate thought.
19:03It has to be red.
19:04The Devil does not come back in cerulean or metallic.
19:10The Devil comes back in a red.
19:13Streep had a few other ideas for the costume designer,
19:16suggesting that Miranda's comeback dress have a sleeve on one arm and be bare on the other.
19:21Rogers nailed it with this Balenciaga ballgown,
19:24draping Miranda in red silk that nearly sets the screen ablaze.
19:27To some, Miranda is villainous.
19:29To others, she's misunderstood.
19:32Either way, there's one thing that nobody can deny.
19:35Not even the Devil can make Red look better than Miranda does.
19:38From the moment she bursts back on the scene,
19:41we see that the fire never went out.
19:43I mean, I'm always shocked when that reaction comes,
19:48that she's mellowed.
19:50I mean, I think in the first five minutes she says, you know,
19:55No, all I have to do is wait for you to fail, and you will fail.
20:00Number one, Andy's makeover reveal outfit, The Devil Wears Prada.
20:04I mean, I just knew from the moment I saw her,
20:08she was going to be a complete and utter disaster.
20:14Not only did this look mark a major turning point in Andy's career,
20:18it also left a lasting impression on the pop culture world.
20:21As soon as she walked through those clear runway doors,
20:25everyone knew that she had become a completely different version of herself.
20:29Miranda Prisley's office?
20:30No, actually, she's not available, but I'll leave work.
20:33Okay, thanks, bye.
20:35The tailored tweed Chanel jacket, chic Fendi bag,
20:38layered gold necklaces, and of course, Chanel boots,
20:41all came together to make a major fashion statement
20:44worthy of Emily and Serena's praise.
20:47Are you wearing the Chanel boots?
20:49Yeah, I am.
20:52You look good.
20:54The preppy, feminine, and classically fitted look we see here
20:57essentially set the tone for the rest of Andy's outfits,
21:00and let us know that she was finally ready to step up to the runway challenge.
21:05So, what do you think?
21:09Ah, I think we better get out of here before my girlfriend sees me.
21:16Which Devil Wears Prada look did you find the most fashion forward?
