Vogue editor Anna Wintour has finally shared her candid thoughts on The Devil Wears Prada after all these years.
Meryl Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, is notoriously inspired by Wintour. For years, fans have been wondering whether the famed Vogue editor felt honored or offended that she was the main basis of the iconic character. Now, we finally know what she really thinks of the beloved film.
What Does Anna Wintour Think of The Devil Wears Prada?
In a recent interview with The New Yorker (via THR), Wintour finally opened up about her thoughts on The Devil Wears Prada after years of dodging questions about the film.
She shared that she had heard warnings before watching the film that it might be a "cartoonish" portrayal of the fashion industry.
"I went to the premiere wearing Prada, completely having no idea what the film was going to be about," the Vogue editor said.
"And I think that the fashion industry were very sweetly concerned for me about the film, that it was going to paint me in some kind of difficult light."
However, Wintour ended up having a different response when she finally watched the film.
"First of all it was Meryl Streep, which, fantastic. And then I went to see the film, and I found it highly enjoyable. It was very funny. Miuccia [Prada] and I talk about it a lot, and I say to her, ‘Well it was really good for you,'" she said.
"[The film] had a lot of humor to it. It had a lot of wit. It had Meryl Streep. I mean, it was Emily Blunt, [and] they were all amazing. In the end, I thought it was a fair shot."
