  • Anna Wintour has discussed Meryl Streep's portrayal of Miranda Priestly, a character famously based on her, in The Devil Wears Prada films.
  • Wintour described being played by Streep as an "honour" but emphasised that the fictional editor is "distant" from her real personality.
  • She previously referred to the character as a "caricature" and found the original 2006 film "highly enjoyable" and "very funny".
  • Meryl Streep is set to reprise her role as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2, with Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci also returning.
  • The sequel is scheduled for release in UK cinemas on 1 May 2026, with its plot largely under wraps, though a trailer suggests a high-profile scandal and the decline of the magazine industry.
