Streep, who stars as fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly in the film, described the jacket as one of the most powerful messages sent by Trump. 'All dress is about expressing yourself,' Streep said, 'but we’re also subject to larger historical and political sweeps of expectation.' The jacket sparked controversy when it was worn during a visit to migrant children who were incarcerated.
Melania Trump's representative dismissed the criticism as divisive behavior. According to Fox News, Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump's former spokesperson, stated that being on the cover of Vogue doesn't define Mrs. Trump and highlighted her role as first lady as more important than a photo shoot or magazine cover.
Wintour also shared her thoughts on fashion and power in the interview. She suggested that women should emulate real-life powerful figures like Michelle Obama rather than wearing traditional 'power suits.' Wintour mentioned several influential women, including New York City's new first lady Rama Duwaji, who have a knack for expressing themselves through their fashion choices.
