What’s better than a night in with your favorite fashion icons — whether it’s discovering up-and-coming TV shows or revisiting classic looks pulled straight from our early 2000s closets that still hit hard today?
The Devil Wears Prada
This all-time favorite follows Anne Hathaway’s awakening journey into the fashion world through Meryl Streep’s unforgettable portrayal of Miranda Priestly, editor of a high-end fashion magazine. Nothing beats a movie makeover moment — especially when Anne Hathaway walks back into the office, ready to take on the impossible, armed with Chanel and confidence.
This film proves that sometimes you need to go through fashion hell — or in this case, Meryl Streep — to face all the tests, failures and accomplishments that will prepare you for any job in the future.
Emily in Paris
Ever dream of moving to Paris for the croissants, couture and cobblestone streets? Live vicariously through Emily as she navigates a French marketing office in Emily in Paris. With three seasons already streaming on Netflix — and a fourth taking the fashionista to Rome — you can expect bold new looks, high-stakes fashion shows, spicy love interests and trendsetting outfits like Emily’s iconic rendition of the little red dress.
Legally Blonde
This early 2000s classic stars Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, a sorority girl on a mission to get into Harvard Law after her boyfriend dumps her for being “too blonde.” Elle proves him wrong — and then some — finding a whole new path as a lawyer, all while serving looks with unmatched confidence and charm.
This movie is more than a pink wardrobe and fluffy pens — it’s a reminder that if you stay true to yourself and work hard, you can accomplish anything.
Survival of the Thickest
This fresh Netflix series just dropped its second season and follows a stylist in Brooklyn who is rebuilding her life after a tough breakup — and doing it with style. Starring Michelle Buteau, this show celebrates fashion for all body types and proves that confidence can be curated with every outfit.
With charming storytelling, celebrity guest stars and head-turning looks, Survival of the Thickest reminds us that even when it feels like everything is falling apart, you can always start over — in style.
