Overview

• Speaking on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Wintour said the 2006 film was “highly enjoyable,” “very funny,” and ultimately “a fair shot,” highlighting performances by Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt.
• Wintour agreed with host David Remnick’s description of Miranda Priestly as “cartoonish,” calling the portrayal a “caricature” while still applauding the movie’s subtlety and humor.
• She recalled attending the premiere “wearing Prada” with “no idea” what the film was about and noted the fashion world had been concerned she would be shown in a difficult light.
• Responding to the movie’s famous “glacial pace” line, Wintour quipped that “nobody at Vogue moves at a glacial pace, least of all my assistants,” underscoring that she was not offended.
• The comments follow her June step back from U.S. Vogue’s top job as Chloe Malle assumes day‑to‑day leadership, and they coincide with The Devil Wears Prada 2 in production with original stars returning for a May 2026 theatrical release.
