What Anna Wintour Really Thinks of “The Devil Wears Prada?

Anna Wintour thinks The Devil Wears Prada is a fun story that shows how fashion works, but not exactly how it really works in real life.

Like a Playground with Rules

Imagine you're on a playground, and the teacher is the boss. In the movie, Meryl Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, is like that strict teacher who wants everything perfect. She has rules, just like your teacher does, but she's also super cool and knows all the secrets of being a fashion icon.

Real Life Isn’t Like the Movie

In real life, Anna Wintour (the real-life boss of Vogue) probably thinks the movie is a bit silly. It’s like when you draw a picture of your teacher, it looks fun, but it doesn't show all the work she does every day.

Anna likes the idea that people think fashion is exciting and full of drama, because it is! But she also knows that behind all the glamour, there's lots of hard work and long hours. So she’s like a teacher who thinks your drawing is cute but also knows you have to clean up after art class.
