It was a fair shot': Anna Wintour belatedly gives her verdict on The Devil Wears Prada
"I went to the premiere wearing Prada, completely having no idea what the film was going to be about, Wintour said to New Yorker editor David Remnick on his podcast for the magazine. 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."
"Yet Wintour said she was surprised by the subtlety of the portrayal, and impressed more generally by the film. 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.' The film, Wintour added, had a lot of humour to it."
Anna Wintour attended The Devil Wears Prada premiere wearing Prada and initially had no idea what the film was about. The fashion industry worried the film would portray her negatively, and the film's depiction of a formidable glossy-mag editor became widely associated with her. Wintour characterized the onscreen editor as a caricature yet noted surprising subtlety in the portrayal. Wintour found the film highly enjoyable, praising its humour, wit and performances by Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and others, and judged the film a fair representation. A sequel is currently shooting in New York.
