Streep and Wintour are not interested in trading places in real life. Wintour dismissed the idea of acting, noting she has no skills for it and would struggle with tasks such as singing, dancing, or cooking. Streep, on the other hand, said she would not want to take on the responsibilities of running a large organization like Vogue, including managing its operations and editorial responsibilities.

Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of the fictional magazine Runway, was inspired by Wintour. The 2006 film was based on the 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger.
