The Devil Wears Prada (2006) - 28 mistakes

Continuity: At the very end of the film, after Miranda has sat down in her car and told the driver to "go"; it doesn't look like she's actually in it in the next shot when the car takes off as Andy walks by.

Continuity: When Andy and Miranda are in the limo in Paris, they pull up to the curb and there is a bunch of press waiting as Miranda opens the door. However, when the shot changes, it is not the same group of people - in particular, there is a balding photographer who should be standing right there but is nowhere to be seen. It all happens too quickly for that much change.

Continuity: When Miranda tells Andie that she wants the Harry Potter book, Andie goes back to her desk and her Sidekick is on her desk. She had put her purse down but not her phone because she never got a chance to pull it out.

Continuity: When Andy throws her sidekick into the fountain, she is holding it in one hand. The reverse shot of the face of the sidekick shows her holding it with both hands.

Continuity: This one has to be watched carefully but can be seen without slow motion - when Emily hits the taxi's windshield, the front shot shows her hit the hood with an orange package under her - it looks more like a box than a bag - and her purse in her right hand. Before she was hit she also had a small orange bag in her hand. A shot later, the side view of the accident shows 3 orange bags flying through the air, and her purse is on her left arm, not on the right as it should be.

Continuity: In the scene in Paris where Christian kisses Andy, from one angle her head is tilted to the right as they kiss, then the shot changes and they are now tilted in the opposite direction. This happens almost every time the angle changes throughout the kiss.

Continuity: When Andy is sitting in the restaurant with her father, you see her father taking of his glasses. In the next shot you see the father from the back, taking of his glasses again.

Continuity: When Andy is talking to Nigel at the fashion shoot she tucks her hair behind her ear and when the shot changes it's completely over her ear.

Audio problem: When Andy is talking to Nigel during the photo shoot in the park, her mouth is not quite in sync with what we hear during her last line of dialogue, despite the people walking in front of her.

Continuity: When Miranda puts her coat and bag on Emily's desk in the scene where Andy has to tell Emily she isn't going to Paris, the bag is standing up. The next shot shows the bag flat on the desk and turned.

Continuity: Emily has a bad cold/flu the day of the benefit Miranda hosts - her nose is extremely red and she's congested. Miranda tells her Andy will have to go too, so Emily shows Andy photos of clients to memorize; suddenly she has no sign of a cold at all - the redness just disappears, which wouldn't happen that quickly. That night it's back in full force, just as it was earlier in the day.

Continuity: When she sings the "Happy Birthday" song to her boyfriend she carries a little cake with a burning candle on top. The length of the candle changes from view to view and appears longer, shorter and longer again.

Continuity: In the restaurant where Andy is giving her friends presents, she hands her friend a little clear case of Clinique products, but when she's putting them in her friend's hand, she is also holding a blue box when she wasn't before.

Other: When Andy is walking by the fountain in Paris, her phone starts ringing. When she checks to see who it is, Miranda's name and number shows up; however, if you look closely, the phone is actually showing an outgoing call TO Miranda, not FROM Miranda.

Continuity: In the scene right after Andy finds out about Miranda's divorce proceedings, she goes back to her hotel room to get ready for her date with Christian. When she looks at her reflection in the mirror as she's applying mascara, her hair is a little tousled and tucked behind her ears. In the very next shot, her hair is untucked and perfectly in place.

Factual error: When discussing the couture shows/designers that Andy will be seeing in Paris, Doug mentions "Nicolas Ghesquiere", the head designer for Balenciaga, a house that doesn't currently show Haute Couture.

Continuity: At the James Holt party when Andy collects the dress sketches, the man behind James and Andy with the dark hair (dreads?) pulled back into a bun changes position with each shot.

Continuity: At her first day of work, Andy is telling Emily about Miranda's demands, and as Emily asks "Did she say which skirts?", her arms are on her hips, but as the shot changes, her arms are folded in front of her, with no time for the shift.

Continuity: Not only does Andy not have the bagel when she enters the subway stairs, but she is wearing her gloves/mittens when she does - when the bagel reappears, they are gone.

Continuity: In the scene where Andy is visiting Emily in the hospital, the arrangement of food items on Emily's tray changes between shots.
