Lauren Weisberger ’99 is probably my favorite Cornell alumna. She worked at Vogue, wrote a New York Times bestseller, and had her wildly successful novel The Devil Wears Prada turned into a hit movie.

In Weisberger’s book and movie, Miranda Priestly is a scary editor-in-chief of Runway magazine quick to berate her assistant Andy Sachs. Miranda sends Andy on the most ridiculous of tasks — my personal favorite being when Andy was instructed to get an advance copy of a Harry Potter book.

Yet despite Miranda’s bullying, it must be noted that she is a powerful, smart and decisive editor-in-chief.

News flash to any fashion fans who don’t know: Miranda is based off Anna Wintour (despite what Anna may say).
