<p>Anna Wintour made a rare comment about the blockbuster film The Devil Wears Prada, a movie widely believed to be based on her persona as Vogue's most powerful figure.</p>
<p>Ahead of the highly anticipated sequel, the fashion legend dished on her honest opinion about the movie and why it once sparked concern within the industry.</p>
<p>On The New Yorker Radio Hour podcast, the 73-year-old shared that she showed up to the film's premiere in a Prada ensemble.</p>
<p>Moreover, she mentioned that at the time she had "completely no idea what the film was going to be about."</p>
<p>After seeing the film, Wintour said she was delighted, especially with the cast lineup.</p>
<p>"First of all, it was Meryl Streep, which, fantastic," she said. "And then I went to see the film, and I found it highly enjoyable. It was very funny."</p>
<p>Wintour also talked about Streep's amazing co-star, who added flair and energy to the movie.</p>
<p>"In the end, it had a lot of humor to it, it had a lot of wit, it had Meryl Streep. I mean, it was Emily Blunt," she continued. "They were all amazing. And in the end, I thought it was a fair shot."</p>
<p>The Devil Wears Prada was based on the novel of the same name written by Lauren Weisberger, who worked as Wintour's assistant at Vogue in 1999.</p>
<p>The story follows Andrea Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, who lands a job as assistant to the formidable fashion editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep.</p>

<p>During her time at the fictional fashion magazine Runway, she meets fellow assistant Emily Charlton and Stanley Tucci's character Nigel, a top employee at Runway and close confidant of Priestly.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Vogue's former editor-in-chief revealed that the industry feared the movie would portray her unfavorably despite the publisher's denial that it was based on her.</p>
<p>"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," she recalled.</p>
<p>After 20 years, the iconic movie will get a sequel with the majority of the original cast reprising their roles.</p>
<p>As for the new faces, the upcoming film adds Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet and Simone Ashley.</p>
<p>With production officially underway as of June 30, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to arrive in theaters in 2026.</p>
