History YMMV / TheDevilWearsPrada

*** Admittedly it is kind of a jerk move to promise to be on a birthday-party when you’ve a mandatory workthing. Andy could’ve mentioned that she probably wouldn’t make it because she could get fired for leaving too soon or something. That would’ve been understandable. Instead, Nate is left to just wait...hoping every time someone entered that it would be Andy, waiting until deep in the night with no message from her whatsoever. Seriously, couldn’t she just send a quick text and agree to celebrate another time or something?

* EvilIsSexy: Despite being an abusive boss, Miranda has a large group of fans who find her drop dead gorgeous. It helps that she is always well dressed and played by the very attractive Creator/MerylStreep, who commands the screen and attention whenever she appears.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Miranda Priestly is presented in a far better light by the fanbase than the film, mainly due to the commanding presence of Creator/MerylStreep. Fans seem to ignore her abusive behavior towards her employees and instead portray her as a tough but fair boss. Fans also like to ignore the fact that she robbed her friend, Nigel, of his dream job to save her own. This also comes from the fact that a lot of fans like to ship her with the lead Andy, so these fans often say the fact that she gave Andy a recommendation at the end is her supporting Andy's career, but this ignores the fact that much of the film is Miranda trying to mold Andy into being ruthless like herself.

* NeverLiveItDown: Andy's friends really can't live down the scene of them playing with her phone while she's trying to answer it in the restaurant. Among shippers, it's practically their MoralEventHorizon.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Fans' opinions of Christian seem to be split down the middle, with most either loving or hating him. Some love him due to Creator/SimonBaker's natural charm, his actually supporting Andy's efforts at Runway, and finding him more likable than Andy's actual love interest Nate. However, some fans dislike him just as much as Nate due to his pursuit of Andy despite knowing she has a boyfriend, feeling he comes off as creepy rather than charming, and him trying to cost Miranda her job.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: The way Miranda is -- hyperfocused, brilliant, seemingly obliviously obnoxious, with no real friends despite her love for her family appearing to be genuine -- leads to many fans claiming that she is autistic.

* FandomSpecificPlot: Most fanfiction based on the film will have Andy and Miranda meet up soon after Miranda's recommendation and reconnect on a more personal level. It's usually thanks to some meddling on the part of Nigel or the twins. The exact kind of relationship they form depends on the writer, though most will have the two get together romantically, either by finding out they have feelings for each other or by having them admit already existing ones. Some will have the two form a more Mother-Daughter bond, with Miranda encouraging Andy's feelings for another character.

* EvilIsSexy: Despite being an abusive boss, Miranda has a large group of fans (particularly lesbian or bisexual female fans) who find her drop dead gorgeous. It helps that she is always well dressed and played by the very attractive Creator/MerylStreep, who commands the screen and attention whenever she appears.

%%* DiagnosedByTheAudience: The way Miranda is -- hyperfocused, brilliant, seemingly obliviously obnoxious, with no real friends despite her love for her family appearing to be genuine -- certainly comes off as autistic. (Partial context: Doesn't mention a large group of fans diagnosing Miranda as this)

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Given the flak that Lily received in the first book for refusing to handle her alcoholism, the second ensured that Lily would have to work to earn her friendship back with Andy. Namely that Emily becomes Andy's new best friend after they [[spoiler:start a magazine together, and Lily is utterly sympathetic when she hears that Max and Emily went behind Andy's back to sign the deal with Miranda. It's the only time in the series that Lily isn't judgmental about Andy's career or choices in men and offers comfort]].

* AngelDevilShipping: Easily the biggest ship in the fandom is the sweet and kind Andy with her abusive and often rude boss Miranda (who is the titular Devil). This is mainly because of the chemistry between the two and the fact that many fans don't like Andy's canon relationship with Nate, as well as the fact that Miranda is a frequent target of the DracoInLeatherPants treatment.

* ValuesResonance: Regarding Andy's friends' attitude regarding how runway has changed, with the movie of course ending with even Andy herself realizing it, but as times have gone by it has become increasingly easy to see it. By TheNewTwenties with several issues bringing remote work to the forefront, an increase in the importance of work/life balance, a renewed condemnation of toxic bosses and workplaces (which Miranda and Runway are in spades), and trends like the "silent quitting", it gets to the point that many first time viewers is a shock that Andy doesn't agree with them to start with.
