* A meta moment: It's something of an OpenSecret that Miranda Priestley is heavily based on Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of ''Vogue'' magazine, especially because book author Lauren Weisberger worked at ''Vogue'' as Wintour's assistant just like Andy (although Weisberger has always said that Miranda is based on an amalgamation of people in the fashion industry). Wintour was offered an invitation to the movie's premiere and, in a move so brazen it's awesome, attended ''wearing Prada.'' It feels like a combination of ActuallyPrettyFunny and Wintour boldly owning the association wholeheartedly.
