Starring: Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Sam Elliott
Many decades after finally leaving the stressful and cutthroat world of New York high fashion behind her, Andy Sachs played by Anne Hathaway is unexpectedly pulled right back into the terrifying orbit of the fearsome and legendary magazine editor Miranda Priestly played by Meryl Streep. In a desperate and bold bid to save Runway magazine from a hostile and aggressive corporate buyout orchestrated by a ruthless digital media baron portrayed by Walton Goggins, Miranda makes a shocking business pivot.
She plans to fully acquire and completely rebrand a massive and historic lifestyle and apparel company that is based far out in the rugged American West. The only major catch to this brilliant survival plan is that the western brand is currently owned and operated by her former overworked assistant Emily Charlton played by Emily Blunt. Over the years Emily has successfully built a highly lucrative and expanding empire entirely out of luxury frontier wear and high end cowboy aesthetics.
Andy is quickly dispatched to the dusty and sun baked plains of Wyoming to personally negotiate the difficult acquisition with her old rival Emily. Trading her expensive designer stilettos and chic city coats for custom tooled leather cowboy boots and durable working denim, Andy finds herself feeling entirely out of her element in the vast and unforgiving cattle country. The already tense business situation is further complicated by the presence of a stubbornly traditional and grizzled local rancher played by Sam Elliott. This tough cowboy actually owns the sprawling land that Emily operates her massive business on, and he vehemently refuses to let the greedy executives of Runway gentrify his beloved and quiet valley with their superficial fashion empire.
As the stakes continue to rise, Miranda Priestly herself personally arrives on a sleek private jet to directly oversee the high stakes negotiations and ensure her beloved magazine survives the corporate war. The unexpected reunion forces the complex trio of ambitious women to carefully navigate their complicated shared pasts, dig through years of deeply buried resentments, and somehow survive the blazing desert heat.
With the brilliant and creative assistance of their old friend Nigel played by Stanley Tucci, they must work together to orchestrate a truly spectacular and unprecedented high fashion rodeo runway show right in the middle of the dirt and dust to finally win over the skeptical locals and secure the vital funding. Blending the sharp and biting wit of the original beloved story with the untamed and rugged grit of a classic Western film, Frontier Fashion proves to audiences everywhere that surviving the dangerous Wild West is absolutely nothing compared to surviving a single disappointed look from the terrifying Miranda Priestly.
