The Vogue cover is an effort to promote The Devil Wears Prada 2, which launches in cinemas across the UK and US from May 1. The film will feature Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, but its plot has been kept under wraps, with even Anna Wintour not knowing it. The character Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada is said to be inspired by Anna Wintour. According to The Independent - Main, Anna Wintour described it as an honor to be played by Meryl Streep, however distant Miranda is from herself.
Anna Wintour announced she was 'stepping back' as editor-in-chief of Vogue 10 months ago and promoted Chloe Malle to head of editorial content six months ago. Her current role is chief content officer for Condé Nast and global editorial director for Vogue. Many people misconstrued Anna Wintour's step back as editor-in-chief as a step down, but her cover appearance is seen as a personal power move and signals the next phase of her career. According to The Guardian - Main UK, Mark Borkowski described Anna Wintour's appearance on the Vogue cover as 'a hell of a smart move' and said it reflects her belief that she is the power, not just sitting in a powerful chair.
First of all, I'd like to say it's such an honour to be played by Meryl, however distant Miranda is from myself. Who wouldn't think that that wasn't the most extraordinary gift?
Anne Hathaway's youthful appearance has led to speculation from fans and plastic surgeons about cosmetic procedures, with fans speculating she has had 'tweakments' such as Botox, fillers, or a 'ponytail lift'. Anne Hathaway has never confirmed any cosmetic procedures. She stated in 2008 that she felt pressure to be 'cookie-cutter beautiful' when younger and considered a nose job, and insisted in 2010 that she would never get Botox because she liked her face to 'reflect a personality'. According to Daily Mail - Home, Anne Hathaway described having days where she looks in the mirror and thinks 'What?', crediting her radiant complexion to stopping drinking alcohol and using Shiseido products.
Anna Wintour described the first The Devil Wears Prada film as 'highly enjoyable' and 'very funny'. She turned up to the 2006 premiere of The Devil Wears Prada in Prada with 'no idea what the film was going to be about'. According to The Independent - Main, Anna Wintour described the fashion industry as sweetly concerned for her about the film painting her in a difficult light, and she has discussed it with Miuccia Prada, saying it was really good for her.
And I think that the fashion industry were very sweetly concerned for me about the film that it was gonna paint me in some kind of difficult light.
The Vogue cover will be available at newsstands on April 28. Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep attended the Shanghai premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 on Friday. According to Daily Mail - Home, Anne Hathaway described supporting whatever means people find to not live crushed by shame or a lack of self-confidence.
Miuccia [Prada] and I talk about it a lot, and I say to her: 'Well, it was really good for you.'
This is very much about Wintour not letting go of her power. A lot of people in these types of jobs recognise they are sitting in a chair that has power. Wintour doesn't believe that. She believes she is the power. She's not a personality that's going to fade away into the background.
Whatever means they find to not live crushed by shame or a lack of self-confidence... I say bravo.
Some days you look in the mirror and you're just like, 'Not bad.' And some days you look in the mirror and you're like, 'What?' And I was having a 'What?' day.
