Anna Wintour isn’t ready to button up the speculation surrounding her potential cameo in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The former Vogue editor in chief, 75, addressed the growing movie buzz regarding her possible role in the sequel in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly during the Only Make Believe Foundation Benefit Concert at New York City’s Shubert Theatre on Monday, October 13.
“Well, I think you have to ask the producers that question. They haven’t told me,” Wintour told Us, refusing to rule out the idea at the event hosted by comedian John Oliver.
Fans sent the rumor mill into overdrive after Wintour was seen bonding with Meryl Streep, who portrays fashion powerhouse Miranda Priestly in the movies — the icy, yet poised and polished editor in chief of the fictional Runway magazine. (Wintour is believed to be the famous inspiration behind Streep’s role although that theory has never been officially confirmed).
Anna Wintour ‘Can’t Believe’ Meryl Streep Traveled to Milan for Fashion Week
Wintour and Streep, 76, greeted each other during the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week on September 27, which Streep attended in character with her costars Stanley Tucci and Simone Ashley, who dressed in D&G ensembles for the brand’s MFW presentation.
“How are you?” Wintour asked Streep in an Instagram video shared by Vogue, as the stylish pair exchanged a hug. “I can’t believe you flew from New York to Milan.”
“This is my first fashion show,” Streep playfully told Wintour. “Not kidding. My first.”
Streep rocked her character’s perfectly styled white hair with a latex camel-colored trench coat featuring a leopard print belt paired with black pants, white sunglasses, a matching clutch and satin pumps.
Wintour, on the other hand, wore a fashion-forward floral print maxi dress with snakeskin heeled boots paired with gold chain necklaces, statement black sunglasses and her signature bob haircut — months after stepping down from her position at Vogue in June.
As Us previously reported, she will continue to serve as the publication’s global editor and the global chief content officer for parent company Condé Nast.
“I think that the fashion industry [was] very sweetly concerned for me about the film, that it was going to paint me in some kind of difficult light … [like] a caricature,” Wintour shared about the movie on The New Yorker’s “Radio Hour” show in September. “But, first of all, it was Meryl Streep, which [was] fantastic. Then, I went to see the film and I found it highly enjoyable and very funny.”
Fans Think ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ Will Stage a Met Gala-Type Event
The month before, Streep was spotted donning an ultra-glamorous red ballgown while filming a scene at what appeared to be a Met Gala-inspired event in August.
Fans will not only see Streep reprise her 2006 role, but also Anne Hathaway as fashionista Andrea “Andy” Sachs and Emily Blunt, who played senior personal assistant Emily Charlton.
The sequel follows Priestly “as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs,” per Variety.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
