Meryl Streep & Anna Wintour: Cousins in The Devil Wears Prada Sequel

On April 2nd, Merrill Streep and Anna Wind Tour share more than just fashion flair.

There are six cousins. Ancestry.com dug through billions of records and found they both descend

from the same fifth-grade grandparents, Thomas Smith and Elizabeth, Kinsey, who lived in

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, outside Philadelphia. Streep, the 76-year-old legend behind Miranda

Priestly in the Devilwares Prada, channeled vibes straight from Wind Tour, Vogue's editor

for 37 years. That movie magic hits even closer to home now. The original story came

from Lauren Weisberger's novel, and she was Wind Tour's actual assistant back in the

day. Turns out Weisberger grew up in Allentown, just 20 miles from those shared family roots.

Fans are buzzing over this family twist, especially with the sequel dropping soon. It feels

like Destiny tying the real-life inspiration to the screen icon, amplifying the Prada legacy

that shaped pop culture for two decades. The Devilwares Prada 2 premieres. May 1st,

exactly 20 years after the first. Streep reprises Miranda nearing retirement, teaming up with

Anne Hathaway's Andy Sacks to battle Emily Bluntz, Emily Charlton, now arrival. Stanley

Tucci returns as Nigel too. New faces join the runway rumble, including Justin Theroux,

Lady Gaga, Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu, and Simone Ashley. This cousin connection drops

right before the big release, making the sequel feel like family business come full circle.
