In this new post of the Bad Girl Inspiration series, which has featured the likes of Regina George from Mean Girls and Cheryl Blossom from Riverdale thus far, we shall for now move away from the Queen Bs of high school dramas and comedies. Today, we’re looking at the woman who could strike fear into all of them with a single icy glare.

That woman is no other than the fearsome and stylish Miranda Priestly, from the classic chick flick, The Devil Wears Prada. Indeed, it’s time for our Miranda Priestly style guide.

In case you haven’t seen the film, Miranda is the Editor in Chief of the major fashion magazine around (and she’s, ahem, definitely not based on any famous Editors-in-Chief you’d know). She spends most of her time making the lives of her assistants, including Anne Hathaway’s character Andy, miserable with her over the top demands and icy death stare.

But though Miranda might have the personality of an evil queen from a fairy tale, there is so much that can be admired about the stone cold editrix. She is hard working and serious; she loves her family and would do anything for her daughters; she understands the creative and business sides of the fashion world; and also, she is one of the best dressed women to ever grace the silver screen.

Miranda Priestly’s style is the perfect fashion inspiration for those in need of creative, but appropriate, looks to wear to work. Miranda strikes the perfect balance between serious businesswoman and influential artist.

With the following three looks, you can be inspired to not only dress like an iconic bad girl, but also like a business queen.
