Andy Sachs

Is there anything more satisfying than witnessing Anne Hathaway’s character, Andy, undergo her style transformation? Arguably, it’s how she handles the search for the Harry Potter manuscript, but Andy’s evolution is truly remarkable. She begins as an aspiring journalist who wants people to take her skills seriously regardless of her appearance. Then, she ends up taking critique well and transitions to a polished fashion insider after receiving a reality check from art director Nigel (Stanley Tucci).

Yet, Andy doesn’t lose her soul as the fashion industry vacuum sucks her in. There’s a period when her intentionally elegant style appears Miranda-adjacent, but she retains her core identity in the end. Think thigh-high Chanel boots, newsboy caps, and structured coats. Channel her look if you want to be the relatable main character.

And yes, the cerulean sweater gets an honorable mention as the ultimate reference that sparked the most eviscerating monologue in fashion cinema.

Emily Charlton

Call her high-strung, call her unpleasant—but there’s a reason why Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) is beloved enough to return for the upcoming sequel.

One of her best traits is that she’s not sharp-tongued for the sake of just being the token office mean girl. Much like her clothes, she simply has that edge. Clearly, she’s dedicated to her job as a senior assistant, so her initial dislike of pre-transformation Andy—who, at first, seems unprepared for her job—is honestly understandable. While Emily isn’t always at the top of her game due to a cold or her cheese cube diet, she’s hard-working and she even develops a warm camaraderie with Andy eventually.

Emily loves fashion, which is evident in her wardrobe full of designer labels and edgy corporate pieces. Play around with dark neutrals, jackets, tartan, and heavy eyeliner to emulate her.

Miranda Priestly

Who can forget this intimidating figure who inspired the “gird your loins” line in the first film?

Notorious for her icy demeanor and demanding nature, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) holds absolute power as Runway magazine’s editor-in-chief. Take it from Andy and Emily: Miranda is not an easy boss to work for, given her ruthlessly high standards. There’s a reason why she cycles through assistants at record speed. But what do you expect? Reaching the top of the fashion industry is no easy feat.

Miranda possesses plenty of sophistication even when she’s artfully criticizing someone’s lack of competence. Thus, she represents the height of authoritative power dressing: luxurious beading, oversized sunglasses, and, of course, impeccable tailoring. Just be sure to practice your best dry tone when you say, “That’s all.”
