Miranda Priestly will see you now.
It's hard to believe that Anne Hathaway stepped on the set of The Devil Wears Prada twenty years ago at just 22 years old. Two decades later, the actress is reprising her legendary role of Andy Sachs in the highly anticipated sequel that's already receiving rave reviews.
