Live Poll: Does The Devil Wear Prada, Chanel, Beavan, or Dalmatians?

List Page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4172989165/?ref_=lsedt_bk

Poll Page: https://www.imdb.com/poll/e_01QEMCWM6vjKsmxh_Hgw/

The real question is which one of these 4 female characters who were the heads of companies in the fashion industry, was the most evil? Miranda Priestly (Played by Meryl Streep, wears Prada in both “The Devil Wears Prada” films)? Or Wilhelmina Slater (played by Vanessa Williams and wears Coco Chanel in the “Ugly Betty” television series)? Or The Baroness von Hellman (played by Emma Thompson and wears costumes by designer Jenny Beavan in “Cruella”)? Or Cruella DeVil (played by Glenn Close, wears did or intended to wear coats made out Dalmatians, in both live action 101 and 102 Dalmatians movies, Emma Stone in “Cruella”, Betty Lou Gerson in the original animated 1961 movie, Susanne Blakeslee in “101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure” and by April Winchell in the “101 Dalmatians: The Series” animated television series)? So which character, not the actress who played these characters, which CHARACTER is the evilest?

If you want to be a fashion critic of them and want to suggest another for the showdown, please drop a note here.

Also I want to give a shout out of thanks to GabrielFox’s Favorite 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Main Character that inspired this one that went into a different direction. I hope everybody goes over there and vote on it. I did.

Guys, The whole section listing just listing how many played Cruella DeVil took a long time to write. Please don’t ask me to delete it. I wanted to give everyone who played her credit, specially woman who first played her, Betty Lou Gerson, because with out her, none of the rest would have been possible even though everybody will probably think of Glenn Close or remember the animated image of DeVil without knowing who played her.

also, I do want to give GabrielFox for inspiring this poll be sti saw a ton of potential with where he was going and the fact there is 103 films about fashion - actually I thought of 3 more films where the characters are fashion conscious: “Legally Blonde”, “Legally Blond 2” and “Uptown Girls”. 

finally, when read the synopsis of “Cruella”, that Baroness made the Priestly and Slater and maybe Cruella DeVil look like school girls. She is definitely a mean girl to consider the next time someone considers a mean girl Polk.

P.a. I saw “Mortal Kombat 2” last night. It is 10 times better than the original film.

@dgranger,

You may wish to switch Glenn Close and Emma Thompson so the actresses in your poll match the order of the designers:

Prada, Chanel, Beavan, or Dalmatians

@dan_dassow​ done. Delayed by the new list I was creating for America’s 250th birthday, July 4, 2026. It is not perfect. It needs better suggestions. But “A Matter of Life and Death” is staying in because of the trial debate.

I'd suggest cutting "showdown" from the title so it reads a little more simple:

Does The Devil Wear Prada, Chanel, Beavan, or Dalmatians?

There are a few typos:

Or Cruella DeVil (played by Glenn Close, wears coats made out of Dalmatians, in both live action 101 and 102 Dalmatians movies, Emma Stone in “Cruella”, Betty Lou Gerson in the original animated 1961 movie, Susanne Blakeslee in “101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure” and by April Winchell in the “101 Dalmatians: The Series” animated television series)?

And under the options:

Ugly Betty

Dalmatians

Actually, I don't think Glenn Close ever wore a coat made of Dalmatians, In both live action movies she tried to kidnap the puppies to make such a coat, but was never succesful. It would have been a very different movie if she had.

I think the title is good but you should probably say in the description that she "intended" to wear a coat made of Dalmatians.

@Pencho15​ I think in “Cruella”, Cruella DeVil does as revenge to the Baroness. It is her dogs. Remember that is this about the character, and not about who played the character.  A lot of actresses played Cruella DeVil.
