Anna Wintour Calls 'The Devil Wears Prada' a 'Fair Shot' in New Interview

The interview follows her handoff of Vogue’s daily operations to Chloe Malle.

Overview

  • In a podcast conversation with David Remnick, Wintour said the 2006 film gave her “a fair shot” and did not offend her.
  • She characterized Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly as “a caricature” and called the movie “highly enjoyable” and “very funny.”
  • Responding to the film’s famous quip about moving “at a glacial pace,” she said, “Nobody at Vogue moves at a glacial pace, least of all my assistants.”
  • Her remarks come months after she stepped back from running American Vogue day to day, with Chloe Malle now head of editorial content as Wintour remains Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director.
  • A sequel is underway in New York with Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci returning, and it is set for a theatrical release in May 2026.
