In 2006, when The Devil Wears Prada came out, everyone thought Vogue would suck it up and put Anne Hathaway on its cover.

No such luck - though Anna Wintour did wear Prada to the premier which is almost better.

Now, three years later, Anne graces the first cover of 2009.

Here’s a behind the scenes peek at the shoot - styled by Tonne Goodman, make-up’d by Gucci Westman and shot by Mario Testino. Anne aptly declares, “If you can’t look gorgeous with this team then you can’t look gorgeous period.”

The Rodarte dress doesn’t hurt either.
