'Devil Wears Prada' star can't wear the shoes

PARIS - Meryl Streep, who plays a tyrannical fashion magazine editor in the film "The Devil Wears Prada," does not wear shoes by the Italian fashion house.

"I own one pair of Prada shoes. They make my feet hurt," the American actress told the latest edition of French magazine Madame Figaro, published at the weekend.

"It's not the shoes' fault: they are exquisitely made. I blame my feet. I've got my mother's feet."

The film is based on a best-selling book written by a former staffer at Vogue magazine, which sent shock waves through the fashion world in 2003 with its barely disguised fictional version of the inner workings of Vogue.
