Hathaway was overjoyed when she was cast in the part. She explained to the publication, “I remember the moment I found out I got the part, I just ran screaming through my apartment. I had a bunch of friends over at the time, I just jumped up in the living room and screamed, ‘I’m going to be in The Devil Wears Prada!’” And of course, she had her co-star to thank.

Miranda Priestley’s hair was also allowed to be white thanks to Streep’s efforts. The costume designer, Patricia Field, told Entertainment Weekly, “Meryl told me she [wanted] to have white hair.… I said to Meryl, ‘I can’t convince [the producers]. They have in their mind that white hair is gray hair.’”
