The Devil Wears Prada is a 2003 novel about a ruthless, short tempered boss who is the renowned editor-in-chief of Runway (a fictional version of Vogue) and wears designer clothes, such as Prada and Hermès. Its 2006 film adaptation stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

An American metalcore band also took the name The Devil Wears Prada.

In 2005, near the West Texas towns of Valentine and Marfa, a pair of Scandinavian artists, Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, unveiled Prada Marfa, a sculpture masquerading as a Prada mini-boutique. Located along an isolated stretch of U.S. Highway 90, the 15 by 25-foot adobe and stucco building was partially funded by the Prada Foundation and realized with the assistance of American architects Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello. To the dismay of potential shoppers the doors are sealed shut.
