Which 2006 film features a character named Andy who works for a Prada-inspired magazine?

The story behind the answer

The 2006 film featuring Andy, an employee at a Prada-inspired magazine, is The Devil Wears Prada.

Anne Hathaway plays Andrea “Andy” Sachs, an aspiring journalist who becomes the junior personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the demanding editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion magazine Runway. Andy initially knows little about fashion and views the job as a temporary step toward a serious journalism career.

The film is adapted from Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel. Runway is fictional, but the story’s fashion-world setting and Miranda’s intimidating authority have often invited comparisons with Vogue and Anna Wintour. Those comparisons are influential background, not the film’s literal premise.

Common mix-ups include The September Issue, a documentary about Vogue, and Ugly Betty, a television series about a fashion-magazine assistant. Zoolander is also fashion-related, but it is a broad modeling satire rather than Andy Sachs’s workplace story.
