Anna Wintour Didn’t Hate Miranda Priestly

Anna Wintour became the inspiration for Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada — and most people expected her to hate it. Instead, she embraced it completely. While the fashion industry worried the movie would damage her image, Wintour publicly praised the film’s humor and even joked about the comparisons herself. Rather than fighting the narrative, she leaned into it, making herself seem even more untouchable. Now, with The Devil Wears Prada 2 becoming another massive hit, Anna Wintour is once again turning the attention into publicity — proving she understood the game better than everyone else from the very beginning.
