Anna Wintour and Miranda Priestly came face to face at Milan Fashion Week.
Vogue shared several videos of Meryl Streep as her “The Devil Wears Prada” character, Miranda Priestly, on social media, including the moment she was greeted by the former editor-in-chief of Vogue.
In the Instagram clip, they embraced in a hug, with Streep telling Wintour, “You look so beautiful,” after the fashion editor asked her how she was doing. The video also included another exchange between Streep and Wintour, where the actor confessed that this was her first fashion show, to which Wintour responded, “You’re kidding.”
One clip also showed a conversation between Wintour, Stanley Tucci (as his character, Nigel Kipling) and actor Simone Ashley, who was added to the cast of the long-awaited sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in July, per Deadline.
This wasn’t Streep and Wintour’s only interaction since the Academy Award winning actor starred in the 2006 film.
Back in November 2017, Streep and Wintour met at the Vogue offices, as captured in a YouTube video. When Wintour asked Streep about “the most challenging” woman she had to portray on-screen, Streep began to say “Hm, oh! I should say y—” before she was playfully cut-off by Wintour saying, “No, we’re not going there, Meryl.”
Wintour addressed the accuracy of “The Devil Wears Prada” during an August 2009 appearance on “The Late Show” with David Letterman. While she pointed out that the movie was, indeed, fiction, she added, “As my publisher says in the movie, I’m not always warm and cuddly but I appreciate wonderful work, creative talented people.”
“What I liked about the movie is it really showed all the hard work that goes into the making of the magazine,” she added.
However, Wintour gave an updated answer nearly two decades after the original film premiered. Speaking to The New Yorker in September, Wintour said, “Listen, it had a lot of humor to it. It had a lot of wit.”
“It had Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. They were all amazing,” she added. “And, in the end, I thought it was a fair shot.”
Vogue shared several more moments from the trip to Milan, including clips of Streep and Tucci in character watching Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring 2026 runway show.
An Instagram post captured Streep and Tucci getting a round of applause as they walked to their front row seats at the show and more footage of them watching the looks come down the runway, with their expressions giving nothing away.
The magazine teased details about the moment in the caption of the post, which read in part, “That is NOT all: Miranda Priestly made a surprise appearance on the front row at @DolceGabbana this afternoon in Milan.”
“The legendary editor of Runway magazine has not been seen at the shows in nearly 20 years, but rumor has it she is cooking up a MAJOR plot-twist for the globally-known bible of fashion,” the caption continued. “We salute the return of Runway magazine’s fearsome editrix: nobody can do what she does.”
In one last Instagram clip, Streep and Ashley enjoyed a celebratory toast backstage at the Dolce & Gabbana show, dressed in the designer’s garbs.
“Runway’s legendary editor Miranda Priestly returned to fashion at today’s @dolcegabbana spring 2026 show after a two-decade absence,” the caption of the post read. “So why has Priestly descended from her ivory tower at Elias-Clarke Publications’ Manhattan HQ to rejoin fashion’s front line?”
Production for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” began over the summer, coming nearly twenty years after the original film’s premiere in 2006. In addition to Streep and Tucci, Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt are set to reprise their characters Andy Sachs and Emily Charlton.
They will also be joined by new faces including Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak and Pauline Chalamet.
