Anna Wintour buries Devil Wears Prada beef as she rips Anne Hathaway in hilarious surprise Oscars appearance
ANNA Wintour showed there’s no bad blood when it comes to how she was portrayed in the hit 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada as she teamed up with leading lady Anne Hathaway during Sunday night’s Oscars.
Attending the 98th annual awards bash, which was held at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theatre, the former Vogue Editor-In-Chief took to the stage to present the Best Costume Design gong alongside Anne.
The Devil Wears Prada famously featured Meryl Streep as a scathing magazine editor, a role largely inspired by Wintour’s professional reputation.
And while the film, based on the 2003 novel of the same name, didn’t paint the character in a glowing light, it seems Anna holds no grudges.
Taking to the stage with Anne, the pair performed a hilarious spoof in apparent promotion of the upcoming Devil Wears Prada 2 coming out in May.
As Anne spoke about the importance of costume and fashion in movies, and in real life, she turned to Anna to ask what the fashion powerhouse thought of her ensemble for the awards show.
Placing her famously oversized sunglasses on, Anna simply replied: “And the nominees are.”
When the pair returned to the stage, Anna hilariously said, “Thank you, Emily,” while addressing Anne.
The moment was a nod to the film’s character Emily, who is the long-suffering assistant to Meryl Streep, portrayed with Emily Blunt.
Despite it being widely accepted that Meryl’s role was based on Anna and her reign at Vogue, the latter failed to share her thoughts on the movie for almost a decade.
