Devil Wears Prada 2: Which Character Are You in Your Office?

Devil Wears Prada just dropped a part 2 — and the internet is going wild.

But beyond who's playing what and whether Meryl Streep is back, there's something way more interesting happening: everyone's projecting the movie onto their own office. "My boss is totally Miranda Priestly." "My coworker is basically real-life Emily." "And me... I'm just Andy, lowkey lost on what I want."

The characters from Devil Wears Prada aren't just relics of the 2000s. They're alive and thriving in every office in 2026 — whether it's a fashion studio, a tech startup, or a traditional company.

So, who are you in this vibe?

Miranda Priestly — The Silent Controller

Miranda doesn't need to yell. Just a look is enough. Her power doesn’t come from her title — it comes from precision, from standards so high that others feel insecure before they even get feedback.

In Gen Z offices: This is the leader who doesn’t micromanage, but everyone still wants their stamp of approval. When they say "interesting" — you can’t tell if it’s a compliment or a critique, and you're guessing all day.

You might have a bit of Miranda if: You rarely explain your decision-making process, expect others to just get it, and consider excellence the bare minimum, not a bonus.

Andy Sachs — The One Finding Themselves Amidst Pressure

Andy didn’t come into the job because she loves fashion — which is both a strength and a weakness. She’s not caught up in the company culture, but it takes her time to figure out what she really wants.

In Gen Z offices: This is the adaptable one, quick learner, but constantly wondering, "Am I in the right place?" They perform well but have an ongoing internal dialogue about the meaning of their work.

You might be a bit of Andy if: You often know how to do a task before realizing why you’re doing it, and sometimes need a "Miranda moment" — some pressure to clarify what you truly want.

Emily Charlton — The Devoted One Who Forgets Themselves

Emily doesn’t complain. Emily doesn’t show exhaustion. Emily eats less to look good and please the boss. In the 2000s, she was "dedicated." In 2026, she’s a case study on burnout and identity loss.

In Gen Z offices: This is the person who always arrives early and leaves late, never says "I can’t do that," and prides themselves on having no boundaries between work and life — until their body or mind sends them a bill.

You might have a bit of Emily if: When someone asks "How are you?" — the first thing that comes to your mind is work-related, not personal.

Nigel — The Knowledgeable One Who Sacrifices the Most

Nigel is the one with real expertise. Nigel knows the fashion world like the back of their hand. But Nigel is also the one left behind — not because they’re less capable, but because the talented aren’t always chosen.

In Gen Z offices: This is the senior who doesn’t get promoted even though they’re more capable than the one who does. They know how the game works but choose not to play — and sometimes pay the price for that integrity.

You might be a bit of Nigel if: You're the go-to person for coworkers but not for the boss, and you've learned to be okay with that unfairness — even if you’re not fully at peace with it.

Who Are You?

Here’s the tea: most of us aren’t just one pure character. We have a bit of Miranda in important meetings, a bit of Andy when we’re uncertain, a bit of Emily when a deadline looms, and a bit of Nigel when we see someone less capable than us snagging the role we want.

What matters isn’t who you resemble — it’s which part of yourself you’re living out the most, and whether that part is serving you well.

In 2026, the office has changed a lot: remote work, async communication, and Gen Z isn’t afraid to quit. But these archetypes — the vibes of power, ambition, sacrifice, and self-discovery — remain the same.

Devil Wears Prada 2 might have a new plot. But you’re the one writing the next chapter of your own story.
