Eh..... I don't think she's ugly or average but "one of the most gorgeous people on the planet?" Naw.

@@Valiere2024 This is not my opinion. She was literally rated the #5 most beautiful person on the planet in 2021. 7.753 billion people on the planet and she is #5. In every single ranking in the past *ten years* she’s been in the top 20. Yeah, she’s one of the most gorgeous people on the planet. Not just one of the, right at the damn top. For a decade. I enjoyed this film a lot and Streep’s performance was terrific. But if your main character is supposed to be “middling to average looking” who turns into a 10/10 beauty after a peak-fashion glowup then you might want to give the role to someone who hasn’t been literally, not figuratively, literally hailed by most of the planet and every major fashion and beauty publication to exist as one of the most beautiful people alive.

@@orbitalbutt6757 I think she’s beautiful but all of those ratings are extremely subjective, so I think they should be taken with a grain of salt. But she’s very gorgeous.

I actually think the movie shows how much your style and how you carry yourself can make you more attractive. If most guys saw Andy Sachs in the beginning walking down the street they’d probably consider her pretty average looking. Pretty face but doesn’t take much pride in her appearance. When you actually put effort into how you look, that’s really when a lot of people’s beauty begins to shine.

other than them shaming her for her weight andrea wasn't rlly considered "ugly", her ensembles were just notoriously unflattering and dated. her first outfits are a mundane mimicry of "preppy" or professional office wear. she doesn't put much effort into her appearance

Nigel was a loser lol. He endlessly defended a monstrous woman who didn't care about him at all, and was willingly walked over by a company that openly considered him disposable. Do whatever you can to avoid ever adopting any of Nigel's views, and remember that you and your wellbeing are always, ALWAYS more important than any company, no matter what it is.

Here! Here!

Stanley Tucci Is an icon! And pardon me about height! From when a good actor need these kinda superficial subjective things! For good actor you need to have talent! Your every part of your body movement, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, hands, legs, voice and brain that's what you need. That's why Tom Cruise never won An Oscar! Honey ❤

I know! He has ranged from creepiest serial killer, to fashion bff, to crazy hunger games announcer. He's amazingly talented.

My hubby's a fan of Tom Cruise. In each of his movies, my hubby sees the character but never thinks about Tom Cruise being that character. I just realized I feel the same way about Stanley Tucci. A midsummer's night dream, Bordello, The devil wears Prada... He's in all of them and his character in each is wonderful 😊

Hear! Hear!

Yeah, but since it's a movie, I think it would have taken Andy the rest of the week for Nigel's words to turn her around. It just takes, a couple of seconds, for her to be 'no, you're right' to 'what should I do about it' to 'Wait! I know!' to 'But, I'm going to need help.' to 'Nigel, can I ask a big favor from you?' and then getting it. If it were a series, even a mini one, we would see a montage of her process, a montage of her 'courting' Nigel to help her, and Nigel helping her. Shoot, that's an hour episode right there. I think that 'seconds' revelation and turning a new leaf in a blink of an eye just isn't real. Besides, I can see Nigel giving her the pep talk about lingerie. "Oh no, no, no, no, no, girl. You will start there first and on your own too. But- I will give you these books about lingerie. Devour them! They will teach you that good structure of a fine silhouette starts with what you where underneath. Go home- and get rid of every lumpy bra you have this odd attachment to and any granny drawers old enough to hail a taxi by themselves, go on a shopping spree to replace said old bra and drawers AND THEN, you can come back to me." "I have to do all that first?" "Are you whining again, Andy, or are you going to take my advice that you came crawl-sobbing in here for?" "Ok, ok! I'll go do my homework." "Damn, right you will and you will get this done in by Thursday." "Just two days t-" *stares at her* "Yes, Thursday." "Report back here at the end of your shift on Thursday. And BE ON TIME!" "Yes. . . . On time." . . . :D I would watch *that* in a New York minute.

@@JamieRobles1 while this interpretation is definitely creative, I think Andy had a moment of self pity but this wasn't unrealistic it was portraying a characterization of Andy as resilient. Andy isn't a teen in a coming of age movie, she's grown and can recognize what she's doing and that he was right. And it's likely she already knew before he even said it! She really just needed to know how to get out of this stuck feeling she has.

No. The simple lesson here (that should not be tolerared) is whoever has the big ego bullies, typical of any .... who feels dominant from all other races.

“Self-pity and victimhood” i.e. “expecting your boss to treat you like a person, even if they are a self-important fashion writer”.

Most people would not become indignant and angry with someone outside their family who they respect.

She did plenty of times. What was sweet, was how she treated everyone else. And how he dislike of Andie fits her character. Emily is VERY fashionable, but she doesn't have Andy's confidence. Andy's confident, but she didn't respect fashion for long and the movie and her head was too big for her shoulders for a lot of it.

@@antithoughtpolice7497 Let's not her do any favours. Emily is a fundamentally decent person who was warped by her hostile work environment and the pecking order there to be petty and vicious to the one person who occupied a lower position than she did. Her attempts to help Andy are motivated as much by compassion as by the fact that Miranda is explicitly holding EMILY accountable for the fact that her replacements keep turning out inadequate. I like Emily, and she is probably one of the more sympathetic characters in the movie, but she's no sweetheart, that's for damn sure. The job won't let her be.

@@Hekateras Look up her around people other than people she knows at work. She smiles and is never hostile towards them.

Oh yeah cuz he's the one with the morals she's not either but damn if you really think these people have morals you are probably sad

A good friend, and specially, a good work partner! He gave her a shock of reality, but without being rude or having a pleasure of humiliating her; everyday, we work or know who works with people that under the cover of being sincere and honest about our work, they have a secret pleasure in being cruel, humiliate and break down our self-esteem and evolution to do our best in our jobs. I didn't saw that on this Nigel's speech- i saw elegance in the way he call her attention, i saw compassion, yet a very "get your feet down in reality, girl"; even if he understands her frustration, he was very clear that she was no right to be pitted for herself, once that she really didn't realize how lucky she was to get that job in a dreamland where everybody there almost had to kill to get a chance to be there! By the way, this Nigel's speech made me thoughtful for weeks, and i became more and more serious and less sensitive at my job, whenever i was called out by my superior for about something i haven't done right, or became frustrated because i didn't get my "kiss in my forehead", because i did what i was supposed to do! And that's how we grow up, and that's how we recognise the good work partners. I'm thankful for Nigel, who teach me the value of dedication and persistence, and to some of my colleagues, who teach me the values of seriousness in my functions at work! A masterpiece, this movie, by the way!

Fashion is more than just clothes. It is an artistry in every area.

@@adrianavargova considering what's put out on run ways and what gets pushed by certain labels they'd all be the jackson pollock of clothes

@random observer As someone who loves clothing design and grew up with a former Fashion model for a mother. I understand why its hard for you to take it seriously. I never understood people who wear clothes that are too tight or wear shoes that are hell to walk in. As a child I loved drawing my own ideas for clothes and I was very picky with what I wore, but had terrible fashion sense. However now for me fashion is more about freedom for self expression and wearing clothes I thinks looks nice on me and I feel comfortable with. Which means I will not wear clothes I'm not comfortable with that includes no mini skirts and absolutely no high hells taller than 5cm or has a design that hurts the foot. I'm already taller than the average height for girls in my country. So yeah I'm not wearing uncomfortable clothes for the sake of Fashion or keeping up with Brands. How can you look good if you don't feel good right? Also a lot of brands are expensive for absolute no reason and are not worth it. They only received big names, popularity and became more expensive after a celebrity decided to wear them.

@@MrTHEMONEEMAKER Be grateful. That extreme aesthetic you see in high fashion is what keeps fashion evolving. It's why we aren't just walking around looking the same as each other and what people wore 500 years ago. Of course the stuff on runways can be insane. But just like art of any medium, it isn't meant to be brought into our tempered lives in wholeness. Like your not gonna see insane art pieces in people's homes. Just like art pieces have their places in museums and galleries to be viewed in a heightened environment, high fashion has its place on the runway. Where the vision and designs can be appreciated for the way they challenge and evolve the idea of clothing. Because fashion is where art meets utilitarianism. And I wish that attitude that looks down on fashion as an art form didn't exist.

@@Mini-Toast_ Woah back up there tucci, fashion as an art I got no problem with what so ever it's the pretentiousness surrounding the industry that I take issue with

It’s called drinking the kool-aid.

those are idiots...working for others.

Not so... there's a difference between a calling, and a job. While a calling requires commitment, a job is just a job. At no point was this job ever her calling. He job is his calling, and he is committed to what he does, fair enough.

@@saurabhb1041, we all drink Koolaid. Just different flavors.

Just to inject some organizational perspective, the whole movie shows the different 'rituals' (cultural elements like metaphors, pracitces, etc.) Andy has had to go through to become a part of Runway. Her putting on the first pair of Jimmy Choo's was her first rite of integration -- a rite that's meant to mark her inclusion in Runway. Her transformation here is also a rite of inclusion, a rite of passage that marks her transition from an 'outsider' to an in-group member. There are also other elements of culture here such as the collegial, corporate, and personal stories Nigel tells Andy about Runway, Miranda, the fashion industry, and himself. Storytelling is one way we make sense of organizational life. It's through stories that we learn what the organization is, how to behave and not behave in it, and most importantly, what are the important aspects to pay attention to in the organization. From a critical perspective, organizational storytelling can be used to extend managerial control and ingrain corporate ideology onto workers and make it seem that it's the only reality within the organization. Was Andy starting to drink to Kool-Aid here? Her transformation and willingness to transform in the name of self-improvement is an example of disciplinary control -- a control mechanism wherein the organizational member willingly take active measures to improve one's self in the belief that they are doing it for themselves where in fact it's really done in the service of the organization.

Photography and writing yes. But not fashion. Fashion is just rich buying and wearing stuff to make sure other people know that they have money. Especially high-end fashion. They spend more on marketing rather than on designing or manufacturing.

Since I happen to be all three- THANK YOU SO MUCH × 3!

Not really because in the end she didn’t even make time for her life. It was all about work. The dinner with father was a work phone call. Missed his bfs birthday etc. What you say makes sense circumstantial. That I can agree on.

This is the real world, yeah, but Miranda didn't seem to live in the real world either.

@@308tony That has nothing to do with growing thicker skin and not wearing your feeling on your sleeve for everything.

@@Alknix Though I'm a lot like you, I value utility and versatility in my clothing, I DO however, at least appreciate the fashion industry as 'clothing as art' (much of 'art' is crap, but I don't decry the existent of art). If I love music, books. paintings, drawings, and movies, who am I to bash people who love the art of clothing and accessories. You conflate the abuses and excesses of the WORST elements of the industry (and it's fanatics) but won't give any credit to those who truly try to create artistic statements in that field. I'm NOT into fashion, but I won't bash their creators. Now crazy ridiculous and ugly fashion shows? I've seen those. But the media tends to showcase those for the LAUGHS, and don't really show the regular fashion shows. I treat this industry like all other art forms, there is a lot of bad stuff (like music) but that doesn't diminish the 'good stuff'.

@@Alknix LOL that's like saying people should only draw in black and white for utility. Fashion is art, it's about expression: colors, textures, materials, etc. It can ALSO be about practicality, like the adoption of denim into everyday wear from industrial work clothes. It's not one or the either, though people are free to choose whatever they want.

​@@Alknix People also don't need paintings, or music, or any kind of art to live or survive. "Absolute majority", yeah, imagine that, people LIKE to dress as great as they can, it's just that not everybody can afford it. You sound like a garbage piece of sh1t Lenin, who antagonized Art for Art, and claimed that it always has to be used for propaganda. F*cking commie garbage. And for the record, pretty clothes do have function. The better you look, the better you are perceived by other people, which does benefit an individuum. Aesthetics are valuable simply because people care about it a lot. Just like diamonds are valuable because they are rare and pretty, not just because of their hardness.

@@Alknix Fashion is a type of art

She knew Andy looked good and said so. Andy strolled in doing the hair toss

I really can't see the "gay best friend makeover" scene working in this movie. Andy and Nigel are, at best, work acquaintances and nothing more. Here, he's laying on a well-intentioned smackdown on the whining "I hate this job" from Andy (which, let's be real, is a job that Andy up until this point had no attachment to) and then reluctantly giving her a push in the right direction when she asks for help, thus showing her willingness to change to fit the role she held better.

I read parts of the book , I think the novel version Nigel is a very flamboyant gay guy haha. So maybe that’s the original draft. In the novel he came across as much louder and more needy.

Miranda can be rude for sure, but the movie also goes out of its way to depict her as deeply committed to her job and her work, and that she's under a lot of pressure too. In almost every scene she's in, Miranda is shown doing some kind of work. She isn't a bitch just for the hell of it, she is the way she is because she knows what's best for the company. The reason she has such disdain for Andi is that Andi doesn't take fashion seriously. But Miranda lives and breathes fashion and cares very deeply about it.

Japanese women is a thing to be hired? Ooo

Nigel preserves a toxic workplace run by an abusive lunatic because he happens to benefit from it seeing as he is rarely subjected to Miranda's ridiculous ego trips. Andy's complaints are justified and Miranda acting like a mini-dictator just for overseeing the production of excellent art is certainly not justified.

But it’s accurate to how the fashion industry operates, which is why it’s included in the movie

What's wrong with setting standards and ideals? A healthy woman who doesn't obsess about beauty does not feel judged or 'not worth living' just because beauty ideals exist. We can't all be beautiful to the general population and that's ok. No need to destroy beauty ideals so everyone can feel that way! We're all beautiful to people who love us, that should be enough. The average weight of women today is overweight. Fifty years ago when everyone was eating natural home cooked food and moving more, you hardly saw anyone overweight on the street. It's completely ok to think of size 2-4 as ideal, because it is, for a young woman in her twenties, at the height of fertility and sexual attractiveness. Extreme thin only became popular as normal women got fatter and fatter, because then thinness became rare, and anything rare and difficult to attain becomes automatically valuable. It wasnt simply the media's fault or obsession. The media simply reflects these things.

@@dailybls You forget that standards and ideals that are set are impossible to live up too. It's ridiculous for a woman who is a size 6 to be considered fat. It's actually sad that because of this stupid standard the fashion/beauty industry makes millions off telling women they aren't good enough

Obviously she had her eye on them herself. Also Nigel says, all the “samples” in that dream closet are sizes 2 and 4. I’ve never been that size in my life - well, perhaps in primary school…

Yep, he was

@@itsmeGeorgina all these years since I watched this movie never realized that. Thought it was just a general statement. 🤣😂

A shouut out to Rhode Island...

Yep it is

Yeah, but you miss the point. She's taking a way a job someone wants. To her it's just a job, but to other's it means more. This is a fashion magazine, and she just goes through the motion. Things turn around when she makes an effort to understand the subject. The whole speech was about why Miranda would taker her seriously, when she doesnt take Miranda's life, dreams , work seriously. You see her as being mean, but in reality, Miranda saw potential, and try to get the most out of her, to mold her to be the best she can be.

@@slewone4905 preach!! glad someone gets the point

@@slewone4905 Thats why Miranda was never the villain. The true villain was the boyfriend and her friends.

@@slewone4905 whew chileee

Because, Melanie, Andy is acting like a spoiled brat. She's complaining about her boss not complimenting her when she's done absolutely nothing to deserve it. This is what the real world is like. And even when you're working at a job you really love and kill yourself to do it well, sometimes you have to put up with a difficult boss or difficult co-workers. You need to learn how to co-exist and make nice. That's what it means to be a mature adult.

I appreciate it. I think the important part in the equation is whether you're actually successful in the field you're passionate about or not.

True. I once worked for a guy who's one of the best in the world in our line of work, and he was chill. Two aspects of his character that stuck out...he was extremely gifted, and if he couldn't solve a problem, nobody could. Because of this, he was extremely confident -- not egotistical or arrogant. No insecurities that would manifest in toxic ways as seen in lesser leaders and bosses.

@@WestOfEarth *YES!!* That's exactly what I mean.

great comment! although a good half of people may be nasty/condenscending atleast half are not and those are a real pleasure to work with!

@@tomb7088 *YES! Exactly.* I mean it's a fashion magazine, *not* the cure for cancer.

I DID notice this when I watched it! Glad to have some backing! 🙂

Well first off this movie came out in 2006 so the tastes are slightly different. Her Chanel makeover still holds up well enough though. And secondly, you're lying to yourself if you think the poorly-fitted frumpy shirt and green skirt is a high fashion look. She looks like she just walked out of a GAP dressing room. She's badly styled, obviously purposefully for her character, and her outfits are unflattering. Maybe if they were tailored better it could pass as high fashion.

“Your” women out there? Hmmm. Interesting.

I agree with you, but for many of today's uneducated, celebrity-obsessed public, such things are a must. Just look at TV presenters: they are plastic dolls, difficult to tell one from another.

I agree - you shouldn't have to dress to impress others. But, if your work in the fashion industry (magazine, merchandising, designing, etc.) you definitely have to dress on trend and stylishly. It's just part of the job.

Yep. If you wear even cheap clothes, but they still look decent and somewhat stylish and you wear them with confidence then you can still look really good. And presentable. :)

Dang gurl thats so bad U shud eat

gurl, i am concerned 😣

Wow, I think more people need to read this. Most in the comment section are just idolising how cool Miranda and the fashion in the movie is without seeing the other sides the movie also portrays

This is why some models living on drugs alone, so they'll have the energy to work but not taking in any food. It's sad that the model world set such stupid standard .Clothes don't necessarily look good on slim people.

It's crazy because anorexic skinny women don't even look good in the clothes they're modelling.
