**Wintour Finally Weighs In: “Devil Wears Prada” Was “Funny” and “Fair”**

**NEW YORK, NY** – Anna Wintour, outgoing Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, has broken her long-held silence on the 2006 hit film “The Devil Wears Prada,” which is widely believed to be inspired by her. Speaking on The New Yorker podcast, Wintour revealed she found the film “highly enjoyable” and surprisingly subtle.

The film, based on a novel by former Wintour assistant Lauren Weisberger, stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, the demanding editor of a fictional fashion magazine.

“I went to the premiere wearing Prada, completely having no idea what the film was going to be about,” Wintour told New Yorker editor David Remnick. She added that the fashion industry was initially concerned about how she would be portrayed.

While acknowledging the character of Priestly was a “caricature,” Wintour praised the wit and humor of the film and the performances of the cast, especially Meryl Streep, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role. “It had a lot of wit,” Wintour said. “It had Meryl Streep… they were all amazing. In the end, I thought it was a fair shot.”

Wintour has previously remained tight-lipped about the film, deflecting questions about its parallels to her own life and career.

The original film grossed $326 million worldwide. A sequel is currently filming in New York, reuniting stars Hathaway, Streep, Blunt, and Tucci, and introducing Kenneth Branagh to the cast. Wintour’s replacement as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, Chloe Malle, was recently announced. Wintour will continue as chief content officer for Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue.
