Fans of The Devil Wears Prada can now get their hands on a Chanel jacket reminiscent of one of Anne Hathaway's memorable looks in the 2006 film, although recreating Andy Sachs' wardrobe comes at a considerable cost. A similar design from the French luxury fashion house has appeared on resale platform The RealReal for around $8,400 (approximately £6,200).
The vintage blazer comes from Chanel's 2005 collection, created under the direction of the late Karl Lagerfeld. While the listing does not establish that the item is the exact jacket worn by Hathaway on screen, its resemblance to the film's styling gives it an appealing connection to one of cinema's most recognisable fashion stories.

Vintage Chanel Blazer for Sale
The Chanel blazer has drawn attention following its appearance on luxury resale platform The RealReal. The asking price of around £6,200 makes it a particularly expensive option for fans hoping to recreate Andy's polished wardrobe.
The design features Chanel's signature interlocking CC logo, braided, embroidered and sequin accents, a pointed collar, patch pockets and a double-breasted front. These details reflect the fashion house's recognisable branding and decorative elements associated with its vintage collections. Its connection to the 2005 collection also ties it to the period when the original film was in development and production.
The RealReal has featured other Chanel jackets from the same era at different prices and sizes. However, their designs and individual listings vary, so buyers should check the specific product details before purchasing.
Andy Sachs's Fashion Transformation
Hathaway played Andrea 'Andy' Sachs, an aspiring journalist who secures a job as an assistant to Miranda Priestly, the formidable editor-in-chief of fictional fashion magazine Runway. Initially uninterested in designer clothing, Andy struggles to fit into an industry where appearance, labels and personal styling carry considerable importance.
Her fashion transformation becomes one of the film's most memorable storylines, particularly during the makeover montage featuring stylist Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci. After initially dismissing the importance of fashion, Andy gradually embraces designer clothing and develops a more sophisticated wardrobe.
Costume designer Patricia Field helped create the distinctive looks that defined the characters. Chanel became particularly important to Andy's transformation, with the brand's pieces helping establish her changing relationship with the fashion industry.

How the Film Influenced Fashion
Since its release in 2006, The Devil Wears Prada has become an enduring reference point for fashion enthusiasts and the luxury industry. Its portrayal of designer labels, fashion editors and magazine culture introduced mainstream audiences to a world that had previously seemed inaccessible to many viewers.
The film also helped turn individual wardrobe choices into recognisable fashion moments. In an April 2026 feature, Vogue revisited the film's most memorable fashion choices, highlighting several pieces and trends that could find renewed popularity. These included Andy's Chanel boots, statement jewellery and distinctive accessories.
The success of the original film has also paved the way for a sequel, which brings audiences back into the world of fashion publishing nearly two decades later. Original cast members Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returned, renewing interest in the characters and their iconic wardrobes.
