I saw The Devil Wears Prada years ago, but with a sequel on the way, I was curious if it’s based on a true story. While technically fiction, it’s a thinly veiled look at Lauren Weisberger’s tenure at Vogue. Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly is the cinematic ghost of Anna Wintour—right down to the high-fashion armor.

As Streep noted regarding the character’s relentless drive:

“I wanted to take on the burden of being the one who has to make everything ‘perfect’ and the price that woman pays for that.”

Legendary satire.
