Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour Revisit The Devil Wears Prada Legacy

The auction featured a collection of costumes, jewelry, and exclusive experiences, with proceeds directed to the Committee to Protect Journalists and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Streep opened the evening by encouraging attendees to bid generously, famously joking that guests should wear their "deepest-pocketed pants" for the cause. Items on the block included a signed Annie Leibovitz Vogue cover and a Dries van Noten jacket worn by Streep during filming.

While fans continue to draw parallels between the fictional magazine editor and the real-life fashion powerhouse, Streep has consistently maintained that Miranda Priestly is an original creation. She noted that while Wintour’s formidable reputation initially intrigued her during the casting process, the character’s evolution remains entirely her own. For her part, Wintour’s participation in the event and her ongoing association with the franchise signal a shift from the skepticism that once surrounded the film’s portrayal of the industry.
