The premiere of The September Issue, which opens nationwide September 11, was held in absoloute true Vogue style, thanks to Anna Wintour's hostin. Arrivals were supposed to start sometime around 7, but Anna, along with her September 2007 cover girl Sienna Miller showed up promptly at 6:45. The night was clearly all about Anna, though many people conclude that Grace Coddington is the real star- both Grace and Andre Leon Tally were avoiding being photographed on the red carpet, but Grace did say this about her portrayal in the film:

" I hate to say it, but true to life! A very annoying person. But it’s not really bickering. It’s a process you have to go through for the job we do and it just makes everything stronger. Whatever gets through is then very valid and very strong. I think they focused on me in the movie because I’m a bit more outspoken and because I don’t care about the cameras, I’ll say whatever I want to say and I won’t hold back."

Bee Shaffer, who even had to remind her mother to put on her sunglasses on the red carpet spoke about her scene in the film:

"It’s funny because that was two years ago and I wanted to go to law school then and that’s basically all I’m talking about and now I don’t want to go to law school at all so . . . [I] still don’t want to work in fashion, that was never a possibility. Now I’d like to work in theater."

And despite what any critics may say, Anna has the support of her good friend Marc Jacobs:
"She’s a risk-taker unafraid of taking chances. She doesn’t suck up... and she’s been very good to me on a personal level as well. When I was having some personal problems, Anna was always there for me. She’s very maternal and caring to people she cares about." He said.
