Stylist Behind Devil Wears Prada Speaks Out

0:00On April 29th, 20 years after the Devilwares Prada hit screens, the real-life inspiration for Emily Blence's character is finally speaking out. Leslie Fremar, a top stylist for stars like Charlize Daren and Julianne Moore, says she was on and went towards lead assistant at Vogue and the one who hired Lauren Weisberger as her number two. Weisberger and Fremar shared a desk for eight months back then, until Weisberger bounced and dropped her blockbuster novel in 2003. Which became the basis for the movie. Fremar took the book's portrayal of her high-strong counterpart as a real betrayal, especially since they haven't exchanged a word since Weisberger. Left the office for good. She even claims one of the film's most memorable lines about a million girls dying for that job came straight from her because she truly believed it. While Weisberger clearly didn't love the gig, with Devilwares Prada two dropping in theaters this weekend, starring Blunt, Meryl Streep, and Anne Hathaway, Fremar's story as fresh spice right, as fans gear up for the sequel.
