\n\tAfter dogging questions about The Devil Wears Prada<\/em> for years, Anna Wintour is finally sharing her true thoughts on the comparisons between her and Meryl Streep\u2018s Miranda Priestley.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2006 film was based on Lauren Weisberger\u2019s novel of the same name, which was inspired by her own experiences working as an assistant to the Vogue<\/em>\u00a0editor-in-chief. Prada<\/em> followed Anne Hathaway\u2019s Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist, who lands a job at the fictional prestigious magazine Runway, working as an assistant to cynical editor Miranda Priestly.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI went to the premiere wearing Prada, completely having no idea what the film was going to be about,\u201d Wintour said to New Yorker\u00a0<\/em>editor David Remnick during a recent episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour<\/em>\u00a0podcast<\/a>. \u201cAnd I think that the fashion industry were very sweetly concerned for me about the film, that it was going to paint me in some kind of difficult light.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRemnick chimed in to suggest, \u201cCartoonish,\u201d to which Wintour agreed, adding, \u201cYes, a caricature.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, the fashion icon said that once she watched the Oscar-nominated film, her reaction was quite different from what she was anticipating.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFirst of all it was\u00a0Meryl Streep, which, fantastic,\u201d Wintour said. \u201cAnd then I went to see the film, and I found it highly enjoyable. It was very funny. Miuccia [Prada] and I talk about it a lot, and I say to her, \u2018Well it was really good for you.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added that the film \u201chad a lot of humor to it. It had a lot of wit. It had Meryl Streep. I mean, it was Emily Blunt, [and] they were all amazing. In the end, I thought it was a fair shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Devil Wears Prada<\/em> ended up being a box office success, grossing\u00a0$326 million worldwide, not adjusted for inflation, as it had an estimated $40 million budget. Nearly two decades later, a sequel is currently in development with stars Streep, Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning. The film is set to hit theaters in May 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the years, whenever Wintour was asked about the movie and Miranda Priestley similarities, she was typically dismissive. She even told the BBC<\/a><\/em> last year, while attending the gala performance of the musical version of Prada<\/em>, that it was \u201cfor the audience and for the people I work with to decide if there are any similarities between me and Miranda Priestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWintour also recently announced that she will be stepping aside as the editor-in-chief of American\u00a0Vogue<\/em>, but will continue as chief content officer for Cond\u00e9 Nast, as well as global editorial director of\u00a0Vogue<\/em>. Chloe Malle has since been tapp<\/a>ed as the new U.S. editorial director for\u00a0Vogue<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
