Plot hole: Miranda forces Andy to tell Emily that she's been dropped from the Paris fashion trip. However, Emily is hit by the car before Andy delivers the bad news. Andy finally tells Emily at the hospital but there was no need to give the real reason she was replaced because Emily could not have gone to Paris with a broken leg. Even at the end of the movie, which is after Paris, Emily is hobbling around with a cast and on crutches.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: David Frankel
Starring: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, Adrian Grenier
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Andy is seen eating a bagel, then the shot changes and she has no bagel, but when she goes down the stairs into the subway the bagel is back in her hand.
Miranda Priestly: What about Testino? Where are we on that?
Nigel: Zac Posen's doing some very sculptural suits. So I suggested that, uh, Testino shoot them at the Noguchi Garden.
Miranda Priestly: Perfect. Thank God somebody came to work today.
Trivia: Rachel McAdams was offered the role of Andy more than once, but she wanted to do fewer "mainstream" movies. Anne Hathaway was concerned because the movie involved Andy going through a "makeover", similar to her character in the "Princess Diaries" movies. However, she accepted because she wanted to work with Meryl Streep.
Question: Can anyone please explain to me the deal about Nigel not getting a job in Paris? He thought he got promoted then Miranda picked someone else or something and he says something like 'when the time is right, she'll pay me back'. I've seen this film loads of times but I've never fully understood what happened. Thanks.
Answer: Nigel was going to be James Holt's partner But Miranda made it so Jacqueline got or instead so Miranda could remain Editor in Chief at Runway.

Chosen answer: Miranda was going to be replaced by Jaqueline and forced to retire. Miranda worked a deal to give Nigel's new job to Jaqueline instead. Since Jaqueline now has a job she wants, there is no one eager or qualified to replace Miranda. Miranda keeps her job. Nigel doesn't get a new job and must remain with Miranda. Miranda gets what she wants, Jaqueline gets what she wants, Nigel gets screwed, but maintains the (most likely futile) hope that Miranda will pay him back by some other means in due course.
