“Devil Wears Prada” the first charity concert, held on World AIDS Day, benefited the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Besides Versace, many stars were in attendance, including John and his partner David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Lily Collins, Vanessa Williams, Luke Evans, fashion designers Zandra Rhodes and Betsey Johnson and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
The musical was adapted into the 2006 romantic comedy “The Devil Wears Prada,” which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 book of the same name.
Weisberger’s novel was loosely inspired by her time working as Wintour’s assistant. The character of demanding and powerful fashion magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly is believed to be based on Wintour.
In the film, Priestly was played by Meryl Streep, who won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance. The film also starred Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt.
