With The Devil Wears Prada 2 officially making a comeback, we’re all screaming “That’s all” into the mirror again and pretending we’re strutting into the Elias-Clarke building in six-inch stilettos. Before Season 2 drops, let’s take a stylish stroll down memory lane and revisit the Devil wears Prada iconic scenes and savage one-liners that made the 2006 fashion film a cultural reset.
1. “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”
This single line could cut sharper than any pair of Louboutins. Miranda Priestly’s icy sarcasm in a meeting full of yes-women is the kind of boss-level attitude we still aspire to.
Why it hit? It called out lazy fashion clichés with just three words—and gave us an eternal meme.
2. The Cerulean Blue Monologue
When Miranda dragged Andy Sachs for snickering at “stuff,” she delivered a full TED Talk on how trends trickle down.
“You think this has nothing to do with you…”
Suddenly, everyone was googling cerulean and realizing they weren’t as original as they thought.
3. Andy’s Glow-Up Montage
The music, the outfits, the transformation—it was a blueprint for the “revenge glow-up” trope. Andy went from frumpy to fierce, and we all lived for the Chanel boots and belted coats.
It’s not a phase—it’s a fashion era.
4. “I’m just one stomach flu away from my goal weight.”
Dark humor? Yes. Problematic? Slightly. But this Emily Charlton line became an instant classic.
Still quoted by millennials in every group chat before a beach trip.
5. The Coat Drop Scene
Miranda entering the office, flanked by silence and stilettos, tossing her coat and bag on Andy’s desk without even looking—it was the ultimate power move.
No words. Just coat. And dominance.
6. “You sold your soul the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choos.”
Nigel, aka the most underrated character, calling out Andy’s moral meltdown was a wake-up call we didn’t know we needed.
Don’t be ridiculous, everybody wants this.” Still hits.
Honourable Mentions:
- “By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.”
- “That’s all.” (A mic drop before mic drops were a thing.)
- Every moment Stanley Tucci opened his mouth.
The Devil Wears Prada gave us a treasure trove of iconic scenes. With Season 2 on the horizon, it’s the perfect time to rewatch, re-quote, and re-fall in love with Runway.
Now excuse us while we walk dramatically across our living room in heels to “Vogue” by Madonna.
