In a fabulous tête-à -tête, Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep have come together to spill the tea on their lives as grandmothers, and let me tell you, it’s as delightful as a fresh cup of chamomile! This dynamic duo sat down with filmmaker Greta Gerwig for Vogue’s May 2026 issue, just in time to hype up the upcoming release of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Talk about a power meeting!
Wintour, who ruled the fashion world as Vogue’s editor-in-chief from 1988 to 2025, now struts her stuff as the global chief content officer for Condé Nast. Meanwhile, Streep, the queen of the silver screen, is back in her iconic role as Miranda Priestly, and they’re ready to dish about everything from fashion to family.
Streep, who has a whopping six grandchildren all under the age of six, shared her heartfelt thoughts on grandmotherhood. “It’s the longest, shortest time. And you can’t take anything back,” she mused. “So take as much as you can… I find it divine.” Can we get an amen? Nothing like the joy of family to keep the soul glowing.
Wintour, a grandmother to four grandchildren and four step-grandchildren, echoed Streep’s sentiments, saying, “I try to instill in my children and my grandchildren that it’s family that counts and family who will give you love and support. If you have that, everything else will be fine.” Wise words from the fashionista herself!
Over the years, many have speculated that Streep’s iconic character, Miranda, was inspired by Wintour. While the author of the original novel, Lauren Weisberger, has kept mum on the subject, Wintour graciously stated, “it’s such an honor to be played by Meryl, however distant Miranda is from myself.” Talk about a compliment!
As Streep gears up to reprise her role, she admits that Wintour was on her mind. “In terms of Miranda, and coming back to that character 20 years later, I did think honestly about Anna and tried to imagine what it was like to carry her responsibility and to be as interested in the world and curious as she must have to be,” Streep revealed. It’s all about staying curious and breaking new ground, darling!
Streep also noted that her portrayal of Miranda allowed her to draw inspiration from her role models, many of whom are men. “So that gave me some freedom too,” she added, proving that even in the cutthroat world of fashion, there’s room for a little feminine flair.
Mark your calendars, folks! “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, and you won’t want to miss it. Vogue’s May 2026 issue will be available on newsstands nationwide starting April 28. Get ready to strut your stuff and embrace the fierce family love that Wintour and Streep so beautifully embody!
