She said it was not easy to be mean to Hathaway while they were filming the movie due to the doe eyes of Hathaway. Andy and Emily were the assistants of Miranda Priestley, the editor of Runway magazine on the movie. Meryl Streep played the role of Priestley, who was feared by the members of her staff.

Emily Blunt indicated that she was fascinated with the way the Oscar winner played her role. She said that Streep went through everything during their first table read. Blunt, revealed that Streep did not have to raise her voice, which was “frightening” for her. She said she liked it so much that it became one of her favorites among everything Streep has done.
