There are certain movies that are connected so strongly with their genre that they seem to be inseparable. For instance, ‘Casablanca’ will always come to your mind when you think of romance. Similarly, when we talk about fashion, the film that immediately pops into your head is none other than The Devil Wears Prada. This movie will always hold a special place in the life of every fashionista out there. This adventurous journey of Andrea Sachs putting up with the chronicles of her ruthless, savage, sophisticated, and slightly bitchy boss Miranda Priestly is difficult to forget. Both Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway were phenomenal and outstanding in their respective roles. Especially Meryl, who was breathtaking with her stern body language and her drop-dead gorgeous fashion sense.
If you are even remotely into fashion — or for that matter into well-made movies — you are going to find this list worth bookmarking. Here’s the list of movies similar to The Devil Wears Prada that are our recommendations.
