The Real Emily Behind The Devil Wears Prada Speaks Out

Celebrity stylist Leslie Fremar claims she was the real-life inspiration for Emily, Miranda Priestly’s first assistant in The Devil Wears Prada, revealing this on Vogue’s Run-Through podcast. She says Anna Wintour warned her Weisberger’s book existed, Fremar read an early, harsher galley, and that the famous line “a million girls would kill for the job” came from her; Fremar calls the book a betrayal and hasn’t spoken to Weisberger in years, fueling ongoing speculation about Emily’s muse.
