The New York City mansion that fashion terror Miranda Priestly called home in the film The Devil Wears Prada has sold for a whopping $26.5 million.
The six-story Upper East Side home, which spans 12,000 square feet, features seven bedrooms and seven full bathrooms, as well as four half bathrooms.
The Neo-Italian Renaissance-style home was originally built in 1907 by architect Henry Allan Jacobs before a 2005 renovation overseen by designer Diamond Barrata – and has since acquired an A-list status.
It appears the interior has remained largely unchanged since Andy Sachs miserably attempted to deliver a book to the home in the 2006 film.

The house, originally listed by Coldwell Banker, is 20 feet wide—impressive for any space in New York—and has a total of 20 rooms spread across the space.
Highlights of the elite property include a study with vaulted ceilings, doors and wood panelling, leading to the eat-in kitchen which is currently painted white with matching cabinetry.
Upstairs there is a library on the street side facing south, and the master bedroom at the rear of the house facing north.
The appliances are all state-of-the-art, the floors and countertops are marble, and there is a skylight above the breakfast area. An outdoor patio area leads from the kitchen.
In the living room, built-in bookshelves line the walls, a trio of tall arched windows open onto the street, and two working fireplaces line the room.
Behind this is a dining room – complete with another fireplace – and a servants’ room with a staircase connecting it to the kitchen below. There is also a terrace that extends next to the dining room.
The upper floors are accessed via a wooden spiral staircase that winds the height of the mansion.
The master bedroom is on the third floor, with a French balcony, a spacious walk-in closet fit for a fashion icon, and a fantastic en suite bathroom with natural light and a deep soaking tub.
The master bathroom has one of the home’s most striking features: a large circular window directly above the lavish bath

The residence was home to the fictional character Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.
The house was featured on screen when Priestly’s assistant Andy, played by actress Anne Hathaway, had to deliver a mockup of ‘Runway’ magazine to her boss.
The film was based on the book of the same name, written by a former employee of Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
The film was released in 2006 and became a huge success, grossing over $320 million.
Streep was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress for her portrayal of Priestly. She lost the award to Helen Mirren in The Queen.
