Fans of the hit film The Devil Wears Prada have long assumed that Meryl Streep’s fashion editor character Miranda Priestly was based on Anna, which in the musical is played by Vanessa Williams, 61.
However back in 2019 co-star Emily Blunt the Oscar winner did not use the Vogue editor as inspiration and told the NPR podcast: ‘Meryl didn’t actually base it on Anna Wintour. Well, she told Anna that. She based it on two men in Hollywood that she knew – who will remain nameless, but I know who they are. That’s all.’
The film, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s book of the same title, was said to be loosely based on the author’s real experiences of working at glossy fashion magazine.
The film took over £250 million at the box office, earning Meryl Streep an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the glacial fashion magazine editor, with rumours of a sequel in the works.

The musical features an original score by Sir Elton, lyrics by Shaina Taub, and book by Kate Wetherhead.
Reflecting on why he decided to write the musical’s score, the musician told RadioTimes.com: ‘The film is a classic and it’s aged brilliantly and fashion and music go together so well, so there were so many scenes in the film that were crying out for music. It was a no brainer for me.
‘It’s fantastic to be able to write for this kind of musical because it’s not Shakespeare, it’s absolutely so much fun.
‘It’s got fantastic costumes, an incredible cast, and brilliant choreography.’
While Sir Elton’s career as a musical theatre composer is slightly less famous than his singing, he is responsible for some of the best musical theatre scores in history.
The Lion King, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, earned him an Oscar, as well as the original West End run of Billy Elliot in 2005.
