Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour Share Vogue Cover as ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Nears May Release

The pairing signals a fashion‑first campaign that frames the sequel against fashion’s shifting power in a digital media era.

Overview

  • The May Vogue cover, revealed Tuesday, features Streep with Wintour in a Greta Gerwig–led conversation and Annie Leibovitz shoot tied to Streep’s return as Miranda Priestly, the editor character long linked to Wintour.
  • Wintour said she called Streep when sequel talk surfaced, and Streep phoned back after reading the script to say, “I think it’s going to be all right.”
  • Streep said designers refused to lend clothes for the 2006 film because they were “afraid of Anna,” and she added that Miranda’s look this time is simpler and more direct.
  • In the interview, Streep criticized Melania Trump’s 2018 “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” jacket as a powerful message during a visit to detained migrant children, arguing that clothes send public signals.
  • The global press tour has reached Tokyo and Seoul with high‑fashion callbacks from Prada to Chanel, and the film remains set for a May 1 theatrical release with Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci returning.
