After more than 30 years at the helm of Vogue magazine and the pop icon status she has acquired in the meantime, Anna Wintour found herself on the cover of this prestigious fashion magazine alongside her Hollywood "doppelganger", Meryl Streep.

The global editorial director of Vogue was photographed by famous photographer Annie Leibovitz, and she was joined in the photo by Meryl Streep, who played the character of Miranda Priestly in the film "The Devil Wears Prada" - a harsh and ruthless editor of the fashion magazine, who is believed to have been inspired by Wintour.

In an interview with "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig, Wintour said she was "so honored to be played by Meryl," but stressed that the character of Presley was "far removed" from her real-life character. She described the character as "an extraordinary gift."

Speaking about herself, she emphasized that she is happy with her age and the energy she still feels.

"I love how old I am. I feel more alive, excited and aware than ever, and I love learning from my kids and all the teams around the world. It's always exciting," said Wintour.

"I think with experience comes a sense of balance and proportion, and you realize that life is not perfect and that sometimes things will go wrong. Then you just do your best. If it doesn't work out, you have to move on. I think age is actually an advantage," she added.

When asked if she would trade jobs with the famous actress, Meryl Streep, Wintour laughed and replied that it was not an option.

"No way. I have no talents. Absolutely none. I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't act, I'm clumsy with my hands, I can't cook, and I'm not good at sewing," she said.

The Devil Wears Prada is based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who once worked as Wintour's assistant at Vogue. In the film adaptation, Anne Hathaway plays an ambitious journalist who lands a job as an assistant to the cold and demanding editor of the fictional fashion magazine Runway.

The sequel to this popular 2006 film, "The Devil Wears Prada 2," hits theaters next month.

Wintour has previously made mixed comments about the character, who was inspired by her personality. Speaking to New Yorker editor David Remnick on a podcast, she revealed that she went to the premiere of the first film without much information.

"I came to the premiere dressed in Prada, without really having any idea what the film was about," she said.

Remnick then described the film as "caricature," to which Wintour agreed, adding, "Yes, it's a caricature." However, she admitted that she was surprised by the subtlety in the portrayal of the character, and that she was generally impressed with the film.
