On The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast<\/a>, the 73-year-old shared that she showed up to the film\u2019s premiere in a Prada ensemble.<\/p>\n Moreover, she mentioned that at the time she had \u201ccompletely no idea what the film was going to be about.\u201d<\/p>\n After seeing the film, Wintour said she was delighted, especially with the cast lineup.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst of all, it was Meryl Streep, which, fantastic,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then I went to see the film, and I found it highly enjoyable. It was very funny.\u201d<\/p>\n Wintour also talked about Streep\u2019s amazing co-star, who added flair and energy to the movie.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the end, it had a lot of humor to it, it had a lot of wit, it had Meryl Streep. I mean, it was Emily Blunt,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey were all amazing. And in the end, I thought it was a fair shot.\u201d<\/p>\n The Devil Wears Prada was based on the novel of the same name written by Lauren Weisberger, who worked as Wintour\u2019s assistant at Vogue in 1999.<\/p>\n The story follows Andrea Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, who lands a job as assistant to the formidable fashion editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep.<\/p>\n During her time at the fictional fashion magazine Runway, she meets fellow assistant Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci\u2019s character Nigel, a top employee at Runway and close confidant of Priestly.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Vogue\u2019s former editor-in-chief revealed that the industry feared the movie would portray her unfavorably despite the publisher\u2019s denial<\/a> that it was based on her.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 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 she recalled.<\/p>\n After 20 years, the iconic movie will get a sequel with the majority of the original cast reprising their roles.<\/p>\n As for the new faces, the upcoming film adds Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet and Simone Ashley.<\/p>\n With production officially underway as of June 30, The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/a> is set to arrive in theaters in 2026.<\/p>\n Related: Anne Hathaway Falls on \u2018The Devil Wears Prada 2\u2019 Set \u2014 Fans Get \u2018The Princess Diaries\u2019 Flashback<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 11, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
