60 free The Devil Wears Prada trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Devil Wears Prada trivia quiz covers everything Miranda Priestly would expect you to know: the 2006 film with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, the Lauren Weisberger novel it was adapted from, the Elton John stage musical, and the 2026 sequel that took the whole cast to Milan Fashion Week. Expect questions on the plot (the phone in the fountain, the New York Mirror, Jacqueline Follet), the famous lines and how they were written, and the behind-the-scenes stories: who turned down Andy, what Anne Hathaway wrote in a zen garden to get the part, and how Patricia Field dressed a movie the fashion industry was afraid to help. Roughly a third of the questions are easy for anyone who has seen the film, a third are medium, and the rest dig into casting, costuming, box office and the differences between the book and the screen versions. It works as a solo test, a movie-night round or a fashion-themed pub quiz. Every answer was checked against a primary or encyclopaedic source, and each question links to the page that confirms it, so the explanations settle arguments rather than start them.

Q 18Casting Emily Blunt changed what about Emily in The Devil Wears Prada?
