After graduating from college, Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) lands the dream job that "a million girls would kill for": assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) - the chief editor of Runway, the top-selling fashion magazine in the industry. It is a job set to fast track her career in journalism if she can survive a year working for Miranda.

Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), and best friend, Lily (Tracie Thoms), is slipping away from her.
