The Devil Wears Prada - Final Cut

Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) metamorphous from undergraduate garb to New York glam

In yesterday's edition of The Devil Wears Prada, we left Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) the unfashionable yet ambitious recent college grade leaving the office of Miranda Priestly, the high fashion priestess and editor of Runway magazine played by Meryl Streep, after interviewing for the position of her personal assistant.

Today, we find that Andy indeed was intriguing enough for Miranda to hire her.

Slowly but surely, Andy develops a fashion sense and becomes one of The Clackers, so named for the sound their mile-high stiletto heels make on the marble floors.

Meryl Streep and Patricia Fields, custome creator on the set.

Will Andy become a driven empty shell serving only Miranda and forsaking her own life or will she survive at all.

Well, we not going to tell the full story, however, the reviews are in and they are positive.

I can never figure out why any young, attractive, educated woman would want to be someone personal assistant.

But apparently, from movie stars to top fashion editors, many young women crave the position of personal assistant to the stars.

This is the world, the world of high fashion that the movie The Devil Wears Prada focuses on.

Can a small-town girl Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) land a job working for the world most powerful fashion editor?

The Devil Wears Prada is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who once worked on the staff of Vogue and is said to have based the character of Miranda Priestly on Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

The silver coifed editor of Runway magazine, the bible of the fashion industry, Miranda Priestly is played by Oscar winner Meryl Streep.

Emily (Emily Blunt) the First Assistant

From being overly burdensome to just being overbearing, Meryl Streep low-pitched voice and body language convey her commanding dominance of the movie.

As an extremely self-centered and commanding taskmaster, Miranda burns through many personal assistants, until she encounters Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway.

Andy is a recent college grad who has no fashion sense, but who manages to intrigue Miranda by her sheer moxie.

Will Andy land the job as assistant to the top fashion editor at Runway magazine.

Stay tuned, as we continue this saga tomorrow.
