"According to Ancestry, Meryl Streep is a distant relative of Anna Wintour, the real-life inspiration for her iconic The Devil Wears Prada character. They share the same fifth great-grandparents, Thomas Smith and Elizabeth Kinsey, making them sixth cousins."
"Wintour has supported the film in numerous ways, even poking fun at Streep's characterization of her as Miranda Priestly. In 2017, she interviewed Streep herself in her Vogue office, making for a true full-circle moment."
"Most recently, she presented Best Costume Design at the 2026 Oscars alongside Anne Hathaway, who played Miranda's assistant Andy Sachs. True to her character's form, Hathaway sought approval of her look."
