Quoting The Devil Wears Prada? Groundbreaking.
The 2006 fashion film introduced words like "loins" and "cerulean" to the public lexicon — and now, 20 years later, even more classic lines are delivered by Miranda (Meryl Streep) and her team in the sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2.
There are numerous iconic quotes from the first Devil Wears Prada. In addition to Miranda's scathing remarks to Andy (Anne Hathaway) while trying to complete seemingly impossible tasks, Emily (Emily Blunt) and Nigel (Stanley Tucci) taught her how to navigate office politics with their own sarcastic comments.
So much so that The Devil Wear Prada follow-up, which premiered in theaters on May 1, appeared to take inspiration from fans' favorite lines and made callbacks to nostalgic moments.
The stack of memorable lines from the two movies is thicker than a September issue of Runway magazine. That said, here are 15 of the best quotes from The Devil Wears Prada and The Devil Wears Prada 2.
