‘The Devil Wears Prada’ gave us a simple and completely new way to deliver a takedown. Twenty years later, the sequel has added even more lines to the list. Here are 7 quotes from both movies that stick in our minds rent-free.

By Miranda, “By all means, go fast. You know how much it thrills me.”

No threat. no complaints. Just Miranda Priestly quietly telling you that your existence is testing her patience in ways you can’t even imagine. Meryl Streep It was made to feel like the most dangerous sentence ever uttered at a normal volume.

“Floral? For Spring? Phenomenal,” by Miranda

Presented so casually that it could have been mistaken for praise. It was not. Miranda looked at the entire mood board and dismissed it in three words, and the fashion never recovered.

By Nigel “Don’t force me to feed one model.”

The sweetest threat ever given at work. Nigel says it with a smile and without hesitation, and that combination makes Stanley Tucci the secret weapon of this entire movie.

By Emily “A million girls would kill for this job.”

Emily Charlton believed this completely, unconditionally, and all the time. The fact that she kept repeating it even while clearly breaking down made it one of the most accidentally funny lines in the film.

“May the bridges I’m burning light my path” by Emily.

Emily Charlton came back in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ with this line and immediately reminded everyone why she was the best part of the first movie. Fast, fearless and completely hers.

By Emily “Shared carbs have no calories.”

This line from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ hits differently for those who remember Emily’s refusal of carbs during the first film. Development. freedom. Its complete nerve.

By Miranda “You’re not a visionary, you’re a salesman.”

Miranda Priestly has a line in ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ so precise it could cut glass. She wasn’t arguing. She was concluding. And after that there is nothing left to say.
