Andy Sachs was an aspiring journalist who took a job with the renowned fashion editor Miranda Priestley. She was never planning on staying at the job for long, just long enough to get a leg up in the industry and eventually be able to write about the topics that interest her the most. Although Miranda is portrayed as the villain in The Devil Wears Prada, which is based on a novel of the same name, there's been chatter over the years that Andy's boyfriend Nate was actually the villain, since he was the one who held her back from achieving her goals. Anne Hathaway isn't on board with this take, though.
