Meryl Tries Out An, Um, Edgier Look

By Sora Song

This, apparently, is what all the really bad bosses are wearing these days. Filming began last weekend on the movie adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, a roman `a clef penned by a former assistant to Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour. In the movie, MERYL STREEP plays Miranda Priestly, the temperamental, overweening editor of a fictional fashion glossy called Runway--a character based loosely on Wintour. But the movie's stylists did away with the fashion queen's dark bob and sunglasses, reportedly to make the character sexier, more provocative and not so devilish. Or maybe they thought Wintour's real look is just way too scary?
