Anna Wintour Addresses ‘Devil Wears Prada’ Portrayal in New Yorker Radio Interview

Her remarks coincide with Vogue’s leadership handoff to Chloe Malle, with Wintour remaining in global roles at Condé Nast.

Overview

  • On The New Yorker Radio Hour with David Remnick, Wintour spoke directly about comparisons to Miranda Priestly for the first time in years.
  • She recalled attending the 2006 premiere in Prada without knowing the plot and said the fashion world worried about how she would be portrayed.
  • She said she enjoyed the film and praised performances by Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and the cast.
  • She disputed the movie’s “move faster” refrain as untrue to Vogue’s careful editorial process, joking that her assistants do not work at a glacial pace.
  • Wintour is stepping back from the U.S. editor-in-chief role after 37 years while retaining global oversight, as Chloe Malle takes on editorial leadership, and industry reports indicate a sequel is being prepared for a planned May 2026 release.
