1[[AC:Book]]
2* Andy and Alex have some sweet moments, like how after a tough day at work he surprises her at night with cheeseburgers and wine. [[spoiler:This makes their eventual breakup a TearJerker.]]
3* Andy and Lily also have some friendship moments, at least when [[MomentKiller alcoholic Lily doesn't ruin them]]. Andy befriended Lily as a kid, and the two have stayed together through college. Lily later on asks Andy to move in with her into a new apartment and finds a great one at a reasonable price.
4* Christian has his moments as well:
5** His flattery when Andy recognizes him and goes {{Squee}}, and that he admires her spirit.
6** He has her meet his literary agent who offers a business card on learning she is a writer.
7** His arranging a PetTheDog moment towards Andy where [[spoiler:her job at a Paris party is to "babysit" him, so that for the first time in ages she actually has fun while working.]]
8* Andy's parents letting her [[spoiler:move back home after she gets fired from Paris, and allow her to work on her writing career]]. They also let [[spoiler:Lily stay with them while she recovers from her horrific car crash.]]
9* Andy [[spoiler:selling stories inspired by her ''Runway'' career, and eventually landing a job as a writer at ''The Buzz''.]]
10[[AC:Film]]
11* Miranda's soft look when Andrea after TheMakeover reveals that she has become a HypercompetentSidekick by anticipating all of Miranda's needs.
12* Christian helping with Andy's ImpossibleTask by acquiring the unpublished Harry Potter copies for her.
13* Andy refusing to respond to Christian's flirtations, which she had responded to in the book, because she already has a boyfriend. This makes [[spoiler:Nate breaking up with her a TearJerker when she gets MistakenForCheating after Christian gives her a peck on the cheek.]]
14* Emily's obviously feigned irritation followed by a [[WhenSheSmiles secret smile]] when Andrea offers her the clothes she got in Paris. It's the only time she looks happy in the whole movie. It's followed up by her telling the new assistant:
15--> "You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that"
16* Miranda's own WhenSheSmiles moment in the car shortly afterwards. Particularly striking because Miranda actually smiles quite a lot throughout the film, but it's always been at photoshoots, public events etc., but here she gives a slow, gentle smile in the privacy of her own car, and it has a surprisingly transforming effect on the ice queen. It's hard not to think of a moment earlier in the movie about Nigel only remembering Miranda smiling ''once'' during a preview. Makes you think that Andy managed to impress Miranda just as much.
17* The revelation that Miranda gave Andy a glowing recommendation, outright telling her prospective employer that he'd be an idiot not to hire her.
