While the world counts down to The Devil Wears Prada sequel, it’s impossible not to think of the Egyptian titles that have already dipped their toes into the world of fashion drama. From ambitious designers clawing their way to the top, to workplace chaos served with couture-level tension, these hits bring us surprisingly close to the glitz, grit, and gossip of the fashion industry, with an Egyptian twist.
Hekayty (2019)
In this story, Yasmine Sabri steps into the role of Dalida, a fashion-obsessed dreamer whose life takes a sharp turn after a fallout with her father pushes her to leave everything behind and flee to Alexandria. There, she tries to reinvent herself from scratch, chasing her ambition to become a fashion designer in a world that’s anything but glamorous behind the scenes.
As she builds her name stitch by stitch, the series peels back the glossy surface of the industry to reveal its darker side, grueling pressure, and the emotional toll hidden beneath the glamour. It’s exactly the kind of high-stakes fashion world The Devil Wears Prada made iconic, but with a distinctly Egyptian edge.
Coco Chanel (2021)
In this musical, Sherihan transforms into the legendary Coco Chanel, reimagining her journey with all the drama and flair it deserves. The story follows Chanel from her humble beginnings, born into poverty, losing her mother at a young age, and being sent to an orphanage, before she begins to carve out a path that would eventually reshape the world of fashion.
Through music, movement, and theatrical spectacle, we see her rise from hardship to haute couture icon, chasing her vision relentlessly until she becomes one of the most influential names in fashion history. It’s a rags-to-runway story told with the kind of glamour, grit, and stage magic only Sherihan can deliver.
Heba Regl El Ghorab (2014 – 2017)
The comedy series follows Heba, an everyday girl from a modest background, played by Amy Samir Ghanem and later Nahed El Sebai, who unexpectedly finds herself working in a major Egyptian fashion house. Between falling for her manager and navigating the icy stares and harsh words of her ultra-stylish coworkers, Heba is thrown into a world where couture comes with chaos.
What unfolds is a mix of workplace drama, romantic tension, and constant fashion-fueled chaos, all seen through a comedic lens. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes industry madness that The Devil Wears Prada made iconic, reimagined with Egyptian humor, heart, and a very relatable dose of everyday awkwardness.
Watar Hassas 2 (2025)
In the second season of Watar Hassas, we’re introduced to Hashem, played by Kamal Abu Raya, the powerful owner of a fashion house, along with his daughter Farida. Their relationship quickly becomes a battleground of ambition, legacy, and control, as family disputes spill into the business world they’re trying to run.
Between boardroom clashes, creative power struggles, and the pressure to keep a fashion brand alive, the series dives into the behind-the-scenes chaos and cutthroat competition that feels straight out of The Devil Wears Prada, just with a distinctly Egyptian family twist.
On Egyptian TV, fashion is never just about clothes; it’s about ambition, identity, and survival in a world that looks glamorous from the outside but runs on pressure behind the scenes. From designers starting from scratch to workplace chaos, romantic entanglements, and family power struggles inside fashion empires, these stories capture the same addictive tension that made The Devil Wears Prada iconic, but with a local twist.
