Emily from 'The Devil Wears Prada' is getting her own novel
The Devil Wears Prada is still a masterpiece, and now its breakout star (Emily, don't @ me) is getting her own novel by Lauren Weisberger, the original book's author.
Emily Charlton (played on screen by Emily Blunt) was Miranda Priestly's first assistant at the fictitious Runway magazine when The Devil Wears Prada heroine Andy joined the magazine. The film sees Andy emerge as the preferred assistant and eventually leave fashion editorial while Emily is crushed by her idol's loss of faith.
When Life Gives You Lululemons (the greatest book title in human history) picks up with Emily working as an image consultant. She winds up in the Connecticut suburbs with a former model and an inactive lawyer and it's a task nothing at Runway ever prepared her for.
Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive first look at the novel, which catches up with Emily at a New Year's Eve party at Gigi Hadid's house. She gets a call about one of her clients misbehaving in New York and decides to get on the next flight out for damage control – and for a chance to go home.
When Life Gives You Lululemons will be available June 5.
