She swears she’s not a devil in Prada.
Famed Vogue editor Anna Wintour — who has long had an intimidating reputation — laughed when asked if she “giggles” when peons quake in her presence.
“No one’s scared of me,” Wintour declared to Page Six at the Gordon Park Foundation’s Annual Gala earlier this week.
The style icon, who wore Ferragamo at the lavish event, doubled down with a simple “no,” when asked again if she thought people were scared of her.
“Nice to see you,” Wintour deadpanned with a wave of her hand, seemingly signifying she’d had quite enough of the potential chumminess.
The famed editor, 75, developed an air of intimidation with the 2003 publication of “The Devil Wears Prada,” written by Lauren Weisberger, a former Vogue assistant. It was believed to be inspired by Wintour.
A film adaptation of the same name followed three years later, in which Meryl Streep played an imperious and demanding editor named Miranda Priestly, who helmed a fictional fashion magazine named Runway.
However, many of Wintour’s friends and colleagues, including restaurateur Keith McNally, have spoken out about her kindness and loyalty.
McNally has shared that they have been friends for close to 50 years and previously told Page Six that she is “much funnier than people realize.”
Wintour, who just weeks ago presided over this year’s glittery Met Gala with the theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” was honored at the Parks gala, which works to permanently preserve the work of legendary Black photographer Gordon Parks.
She was touched by the inclusion, telling us, “It’s so wonderful to be part of such an extraordinary group of people that are being honored tonight.”
She noted that the “Superfine” theme, “which I felt was very joyful and celebratory,” was especially meaningful “in a moment when it’s important to celebrate the black community.”
Naturally, Wintour dressed the part.
Her outfit was a Ferragamo creation, “by a young black English designer, Max Davis, and I’m wearing a necklace by L’Enchanteur.”
Other celebs at the event included Gayle King, Colman Domingo, Tyson Beckford and Huma Abedin.
