Nearly two decades after the fact, Anna Wintour is finally giving her review of \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada,\u201d the 2006 Anne Hathaway comedy built around the onetime Vogue editor in chief\u2019s notorious style of leadership. <\/p>\n
And although Wintour is more than fashionably late, she\u2019s showing up in time for the sequel<\/a>. <\/p>\n The film \u201chad a lot of humor to it, it had a lot of wit, it had Meryl Streep,\u201d Wintour said recently on the New Yorker Radio Hour<\/a>. \u201c[The cast] were all amazing. And in the end, I thought it was a fair shot.\u201d<\/p>\n The famed editor, who stepped down from the Vogue gig this summer, said she went into the premiere of the original film wearing Prada but not knowing what the movie was about. Wintour said people in the fashion industry had expressed concerns about the Miranda Priestly character, worrying she would be played as a caricature of Wintour. But those fears were unfounded.<\/p>\n \u201cFirst of all, it was Meryl Streep, [who is] fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada\u201d is based on the 2003 bestselling novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who worked as a personal assistant to Wintour. The film follows a writer played by Hathaway who gets a job at a fashion magazine managed by a highly demanding boss, played by Streep. <\/p>\n The actor who played the no-nonsense editor in chief earned an Academy Award nomination for her performance. <\/p>\n
