May 25, 2006 -- ANNA Wintour has a sense of humor, but there are limits. The icy Vogue editrix accepted Meryl Streep's invitation to Tuesday's screening of "The Devil Wears Prada" - which she wore - but avoided posing for a photo with Streep, who plays an icy fashion magazine editrix in the film. Wintour bolted from the Paris Theatre with her entourage as soon as the credits rolled, skipping the dinner and charity auction at the St. Regis. Wintour, whose entourage included boyfriend Shelby Bryant, daughter Bee Shaffer, and Dixon and Arianna Boardman, "thought the movie was very funny," said her spokesman, who also said Wintour never planned on staying for dinner. One insider denied Wintour purposely avoided posing with Streep, who had never met Wintour before publicist Peggy Siegal introduced them. "It was so chaotic, we couldn't set up the shot," said our source. In the chaos were Streep's castmates Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Bridget Hall, plus News Corp. president Peter Chernin and 20th Century Fox co-chair Tom Rothman. Martha Stewart, in the elevator after ward, said, "Wow! Who ever had a boss like that?" Silence.

Glad she can laugh about it (or at least pretend to)

A Very Big Tuesday
Longchamp and Devil Wears Prada parties bring out the leggy, the edgy, and the infamous

Wednesday, May 24, 2006

NEW YORK) Longchamp evidently built its new Soho flagship with some careful consideration. At its launch party here Tuesday night, what seemed like half of Manhattan crowded into the shop, taking prime birdseye view positions along the grand multi-storied, zigzag staircase’s railing to ogle the arrival of several celebrity guests.

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Isabella Rossellini, Lucy Liu, Joe Pantoliano, and Eva Mendes all sat around two leather benches in the center of the store, giving new meaning to the words “close proximity.” “I feel like I’m in a fishbowl,” Liu joked. Mendes, who just wrapped filming on We Own the Night, was more forgiving, though she was thankful that she wasn’t claustrophobic. “I wanted to support Longchamp and I thought, ‘Why not end my time in New York with a bang and come to this?’” she said. She even managed to make the best of her cozy VIP section. “At least the chairs are nice,” she said. “The padding is a nice touch.” Gyllenhaal, who sipped water with lime all night, was having trouble pinpointing what she loves most about the brand. “They seem very French to me,” she said. “I like all things French. I particularly like their luggage. It’s simple and practical.” Maggie Rizer also found the crowd a bit overwhelming, but she was resourceful. “We have a little hiding spot in the back,” she whispered, champagne glass in hand.

Susan Sarandon came with her daughter, Eva Amurri, and quickly found an alternative use for the Longchamp bag she was carrying—toting her Maltese Pomeranian named Penny inside. “I think it’s fabulous, but I want to see it when it’s a bit more empty,” she said before dashing out. Following the lengthy cocktail party, Marc Bouwer, Zani Gugelmann, Fabian and Martina Basabe, Mario Sorrenti, and Jeremy Scott, who debuted his limited-edition three-piece luggage collection for Longchamp at the opening, joined the Cassegrain family upstairs on the third floor for an intimate dinner, where family friend Uma Thurman turned up with her father, Robert, to lend her support and some extra star wattage.

Lydia Hearst, meanwhile, opted to forego a special screening of The Devil Wears Prada uptown to make it to Longchamp. Staying just for cocktails, she ventured up to the film’s post-show dinner at the St. Regis. “I do want to see it eventually because my friend, Adrian [Grenier] is in it,” she said. “I’d rather spend $10 bucks and see it in a theater and support the film anyway.” It was unfortunate, as the leggy blonde missed an appearance by Anna Wintour, who was said to be the subject of the roman à clef by Lauren Weisberger. Thankfully, the Vogue editor (who, ironically enough, wore Prada) and her daughter, Bee, didn’t cross paths with her former assistant and stayed for the screening but not the dinner, prompting many to give her kudos. “Anna really does have a sense of humor,” quipped one attendee.

Over at the St. Regis, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Fabiola Beracasa, Patricia Clarkson, and Minnie Mortimer all enjoyed a three-course dinner and silent auction—including the opportunity to have tea with Streep—that fetched $18,000. “I’m just squeezing into it but I love it,” Hathaway said of her Marchesa strapless dress, before laughing, “You would’ve thought I picked up a few fashion pointers from the film, like picking the right size dress.” The discussion of the film continued on throughout the night, with many surprised at how un-slanted Streep’s portrayal of her character was and others focused particularly on Grenier’s line in the film, where he says, “The relationship you’re in is the one that you pick up the phone for.” Dessert came in the form of vanilla ice cream topped off with a chocolate shoe, complete with a devil’s pitchfork as the heel—echoing the film’s promotional poster.
“Bittersweet,” Annelise Peterson pointed out.

ny daily news

Wintour gives the
'Devil' its due

Fashionistas must have thought there was peyote in their popcorn Tuesday night when Vogue editrix Anna Wintour showed up at a VIP screening of "The Devil Wears Prada."

Could the imperious style queen have deigned to see the movie based on the book that had so mercilessly lampooned her?

But, sure enough, it was Wintour.

She felt brave enough to dispense with her signature runway safety goggles. But she took care to surround herself with a posse that included boyfriend Shelby Bryan and daughter Bee Schaffer.

Word is Meryl Streep, who plays editor Miranda Priestly, had persuaded Wintour to come by, assuring her that her character was an amalgam of other fashion arbiters - ladies like Diana Vreeland, Polly Mellon, Grace Mirabella and Liz Tilberis. Plus, Streep had been nice enough to strip Priestly of her Wintourish British accent.

It was fine to see Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Campbell Scott, Martha Stewart and Candice Bergen. But what if she got caught in an elevator with Lauren Weisberger, the former Vogue assistant who turned her stint at the mag into a best seller. Ever since the book's publication in 2003, Wintour had refused to dignify it with a comment.
What if Wintour ran into the willowy Weisberger? Organizers were determined not to let it happen.

"They purposely seated Lauren and Anna on opposite sides of the theater," says one source. "As far away as humanly possible."

Disappointingly, the plan worked. Wintour escaped the theater without a confrontation with the young woman who'd gotten rich off her.

"I heard she was there," Weisberger told us. "I haven't run into her since the book came out. We travel in different circles. All I know is that it was one of the most exciting nights of my life." And how did Wintour like the film? "She thought it was very entertaining," said her spokesman. "It was satire. What's not to like?"

ahahahhaha ^

I think it's rather classy of her to go. If I were her I'd go and laugh at myself.

 

[impossibleprincess]

Someone wrote earlier in the thread that the book is just a bitchfest. I agree- I couldn't even finish the thing. Whining that you have to drive your boss' Jaguar from one place to another blahblah whatever.

quote]

I agree, I want to see the movie but all the book did was whine...and whine....and then moan...it was annoying. Please. No one hates going to Starbucks and wearing free designer clothes that much. I felt Weisberger overdid it.

 

[SuGaR_rUsH]

Exactly. In fact there were many parts of the book that I was jealous of her-she got to raid the Vogue closet! Plus, the character in the book wasn't very much into fashion anyway, so of course she probably would not enjoy a job that is primarily about fashion.

i had originally wanted to read the book way before it was being made into a movie but now i feel resistant and think i should just see the film instead... i don't want to waste my time or money on it if it is a bunch of whining... seeing as i would seemingly love to have that job.... even if she is just getting coffee for everyone

Throughout the whole book, the character constantly complained about her job to everyone. If she really hated her job that much, why couldn't she quit? Anna Wintour may be a so called b*tch, but the book does prove she takes her job seriously and she works hard also. The only interesting parts was when "Miranda" appeared on the pages. After reading the biography on Anna Wintour, and reading The Devil Wears Prada, its interesting to pick up on the similarities and parallels between Miranda and Anna.

Simon baker is playing Christian... I can't wait...
Hopefully its not an over-the-top performance... a character like Christian walks a very fine line...

I'm currently reading the book. I think The Devil Wears Prada is my first "chick lit" novel with the exception of one of those series of novels where the protagonist is anonymous... Can't seem to think of the title... So, I can't really compare it to those its type.

The writing is mediocre but I do find it amusing. I can't understand how it got on the New York Times best seller list. I agree with those who claim that its hard to find sympathy for Andrea... To be around all those garments and labels, and to be able to wear them for free.

 

[coffeeandasmoke]

I can't wait to see it. I'm still considering reading the book first, though. I try to do that with most movies that come from a book.

Meryl Streep's hair kinda scares me.
