About this listen
Nearly two decades after The Devil Wears Prada became a fashion and pop culture touchstone, my name is once again trending as I finally broke my silence on the film that has defined so many public perceptions of me. In a recent conversation with David Remnick on The New Yorker Radio Hour, I addressed what’s long been whispered: Did Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly sting I admitted I once feared the movie would cast me as a caricature but ultimately called it highly enjoyable, witty, and fair. According to The Los Angeles Times and CNN, I praised Streep’s performance, confessed to accidentally wearing Prada to the premiere without knowing the plot, and even reflected that the film’s humor and cast made it “a fair shot.” My remarks come just as the official sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 is ramping up anticipation for its May 2026 release, with the original stars Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci all returning, joined by new faces like Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu. Industry observers on social media note the irony: my praise is the best PR the sequel could get, even as raucous memes and hot takes jump between admiration and jest.
Of course the news is not just about my Hollywood connection. I stepped down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue this past June after a monumental 37-year tenure but continue to dictate the editorial winds as Global Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director for Condé Nast’s portfolio, which includes The New Yorker, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Wired. The seismic shift at Vogue rippled through both legacy media and social platforms, with speculation swirling about the magazine’s future in today’s tumultuous publishing climate. On September 2, I named Chloe Malle—formerly Vogue’s social media editor and daughter of Candice Bergen—as Vogue US’s new head of editorial content. This drew both optimism and skepticism from industry insiders, with some predicting an uphill battle for print in the digital age. Malle herself told The Times, “Placing my own stamp on this is going to be the most important part of this being a success. There has to be a noticeable shift that makes this mine.”
Recent headlines and online commentary continue to stir up my legacy, with frequent viral comparisons between Miranda Priestly and myself, debate over my enduring influence, and ongoing coverage of my role shaping Condé Nast’s global voice. As speculation simmers about Vogue’s and my own next chapter, I remain a rare force at the center of both fashion and media.
