Usually even Anna Wintour can go at least two consecutive days without making headlines, but it's Fashion Week, and this is "her tsunami." So it only makes sense that the days gearing up to Saturday's first day of filming The Devil Wears Prada are being met with the expected media spectacle.

With Meryl Streep taking on the role of Wintour's fictionalized Miranda Priestly and Anne Hathaway playing the role of ex-assistant Lauren Weisberger, we were expecting stellar cold-hearted performances. But that may not be the case, with producers switching things up.

"The movie is slightly different from the book, and it makes the head character more human and not so devilish," says stylist Tracy Cox, who is working on the movie alongside fashion czar Patricia Field, the former "Sex and the City" costume designer. Streep will be spunkier and more charismatic in the editrix role, she adds.

"We're painting the character from scratch," Cox says. "She'll wear more color, be sexier and more provocative [than Wintour]. She's a different character than what people are expecting. She won't have black hair, and she won't wear dark sunglasses. She is a very fallible, assertive editor."

So less Anna Wintour, more Cosmo's Kate White? Because if there's anyone we know with spunk.

Meanwhile, some fashion houses aren't exactly jumping to be a part of the movie, thanks to their relationships to the Vogue editrix. But on the not-so-worried list are Bill Blass, Donna Karan, Chanel and Fendi — and of course Prada, whether they like it or not.
