US EditionAnna Wintour Refused to Be on the Cover of Vogue — Until This Star Convinced Her
Meryl Streep reprises Miranda Priestly as Vogue pairs the fictional editor with Anna Wintour in a cover tied to the sequel's promotion.
- Vogue unveiled its May 2026 cover on Tuesday featuring Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep with the cover line "Seeing Double: When Miranda Met Anna," marking the first time Wintour has appeared on the front of her own publication.
- Chloe Malle, head of editorial content, pitched the shared cover to Wintour during Paris Fashion Week in October, though Wintour initially declined, saying "Well, Chloe, that's very flattering, but it's just not my style."
- Vogue staffers revealed details on The Run-Through podcast this week, explaining photographer Annie Leibovitz and stylist Grace Coddington executed the shoot under extreme secrecy, requiring Coddington to be smuggled into the office to avoid suspicion.
- The cover arrives just ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2's May 1 release, which reunites Andy Sachs with Miranda Priestly, and coincides with the week Wintour hosts the Met Gala.
- Streep, reprising her role as Miranda Priestly, said she studied Wintour to understand "what it was like to carry her responsibility," as Wintour has embraced her "devil" reputation throughout the year, recently appearing with Streep at Milan Fashion Week.
