6. Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

Meryl Streep transformed The Devil Wears Prada into something unforgettable. The story felt predictable and lacked any real tension, but her performance as Miranda Priestly changed everything. She made Miranda intimidating without being over the top. Her icy stares and calm but cutting words carried the film. Streep gave the character depth by showing hints of vulnerability that made her more than just a difficult boss. Her work turned a simple workplace comedy into a cultural staple about power and ambition.
