Things have changed since 2006, when The Devil Wears Prada was released. Lauren Weisberger wrote the fictional book based on her experience as an assistant to Anna Wintour. But did Vogue's former editor-in-chief inspire the 2026 sequel?
'Devil Wears Prada' Writer Separates Miranda Priestly from Anna Wintour
Aline Brosh McKenna wrote the screenplay for the first and second movies. She told Variety how much Wintour, 76, was on her mind while writing the second chapter of Miranda Priestly's story.
"I don’t process the story through the lens of Anna Wintour," McKenna, 58, claimed. "In my mind, it’s Miranda. In the first script, she was already scheming and now there’s a similar plot in the second. I don’t know that it correlates to real life."

The sequel starts with Priestly aiming for a promotion with a global position. However, that is at risk after a scandal at Runway. Wintour became the Global Editorial Director at Condé Nast.
The former Vogue editor-in-chief stepped down after 37 years. She has also been part of the press run for the sequel. Wintour took the stage with Anne Hathaway at the Oscars.
"I will say, Vogue started embracing the actors pretty early on," McKenna said. "And we all understood that a movie that brings fashion front and center, even if it’s not the beat-by-beat portrayal they would have preferred, is welcome to a place like Vogue."
Streep posed as her character with Wintour for Vogue's cover story. They were similar dark sunglasses.
The magazine's new editor-in-chief, Chloé Malle, said she pitched the cover photo to Wintour, who was hesitant, according to CNN. But she later approached the Oscar winner about the photoshoot, and she agreed.
