The Devil Wear Prada

8 times you channelled Emily from The Devil Wear Prada without even realising

‘A million girls would kill for this job.’

BEING CAST OPPOSITE Meryl Streep doesn’t leave much room to show-steal.

And yet back in 2006, Emily Blunt managed to do just that while playing the part of Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada.

Her portrayal of Miranda Priestly’s downtrodden but determined senior assistant at Runway magazine caught the attention of the press and public alike, and did much to catapult her career, ultimately earning her a BAFTA and Golden Globe nomination.

Her cutting putdowns? Her sheer sense of will? Or her flair for the dramatic?

1. The morning after you decided that a Sunday Session would be a good idea.
