Just in time for the return to Runway magazine, the world of high fashion is getting a collectible makeover. ShowtimeSpot can exclusively reveal that Funko is launching a brand-new line of Pop! figures dedicated to the iconic 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, capturing the unforgettable style of its three leading ladies.
The collection features Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), and Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) in their most memorable cinematic looks. Each figure is a miniature tribute to the film's lasting impact on pop culture and fashion, arriving as excitement builds for the upcoming sequel hitting theaters this May.
From Screen to Shelf: The Figures Unveiled
Leading the trio is Andy Sachs, forever immortalized in the chic tweed ensemble she wore upon learning she would attend Paris Fashion Week. The figure, standing approximately four inches tall, includes her signature hat and layered necklaces, complete with the book she famously carried while racing to meet Miranda's impossible demands.
Emily Charlton is captured in her element as the stressed senior assistant, juggling multiple items at once. Dressed in a sharp leather skirt, the figure perfectly embodies her perpetually harried yet impeccably styled demeanor from the film's early scenes.
Of course, no collection would be complete without the editor-in-chief herself. Miranda Priestly stands tall—literally, at 4.2 inches—in her glittering gold jacket, a look synonymous with her powerful and intimidating presence. Even in vinyl form, she commands authority over her assistants.
Perfectly Timed for a Fashionable Return
This stylish drop coincides perfectly with the highly anticipated release of The Devil Wears Prada 2. The sequel reunites the original cast—Hathaway, Streep, Blunt, and Stanley Tucci—for a new story that finds Andy returning to a struggling Runway magazine. They must navigate a hostile modern media landscape, potentially forcing Miranda to ally with Emily, who now runs a luxury fashion brand.
Original director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna have returned to helm the project, joined by a star-studded new cast including Justin Theroux and Simone Ashley. The film promises to explore whether a legacy print publication can survive in the digital age, a theme that resonates deeply with today's audience.
For collectors, this release is a must-have. It follows in the footsteps of other highly sought-after pop culture collectibles, much like the recent exclusive Loungefly 'Bob's Burgers' collection that delighted fans. It also lands as other major franchises are expanding their universes; for instance, 'Daredevil: Born Again' is planting seeds for future Marvel crossovers.
The Devil Wears Prada Funko Pops are set to be available for purchase online imminently. They serve as both a nostalgic throwback and a timely celebration, ensuring that Miranda Priestly's iconic command, "That's all," is never the last word on this enduring cinematic phenomenon.
