Anna Wintour BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This week has been a whirlwind for Anna Wintour as her transition out of Vogue’s editor-in-chief role made international headlines, prompting retrospectives and speculation about the direction of American fashion publishing. Vogue announced that Chloe Malle, former podcast host and social media editor, is stepping into Wintour’s legendary shoes. While some in the fashion world are cautious about Malle’s monthly print comments, it’s clear Wintour’s influence remains intact as she continues overseeing content across Condé Nast, quietly shaping editorial policy and strategic moves, including her controversial appointment of Mark Guiducci to head Vanity Fair, which drew attention for its rumored favoritism according to Variety and multiple trade outlets.Wintour emerged for a very public appearance at the 2025 US Open, turning heads alongside James Corden at the men’s singles second round, lending her signature cool and classic presence to the star-studded crowd as Novak Djokovic took an early win. She’s still on everyone’s radar as the prime fashion observer at major events, with her signature sunglasses remaining firmly in place. On social media, Threads buzzed with speculation about what’s next for her legacy and industry standing, with users debating her real influence behind the scenes and the pressure facing her closest collaborators.News outlets also spotlighted Wintour’s hands-on involvement in organizing this year’s Vogue World event, set at the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood. She explained to Variety that this edition will pair renowned costume designers like Colleen Atwood and Ruth Carter with heavyweight fashion brands including Alexander McQueen and Balmain, all to benefit wildfire victims in LA—a move lauded by Governor Newsom and Hollywood insiders for its timely philanthropic direction. Wintour’s advocacy at the White House was revealed, as she lobbied twice this summer for lower tariffs on fashion, softening her famously tough stance against President Trump, whom she met twice in recent months. Although rumors about a potential Vogue cover for Trump swirled, she flatly denied this to The Hill.Meanwhile, the Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially in production, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt all returning, and Wintour—modestly—dodging questions about a possible cameo, insisting fans “ask Meryl.” The relationship between fashion and film remains central to her outlook, with tributes to Giorgio Armani and commentary on the power of cinematic style making waves.As always, social drama followed. At the Met Gala, a viral moment captured Wintour sporting an elegant silver Louis Vuitton dress—slightly marred by a discreet red stain. Social media had a field day, joking that one of her assistants was likely facing a stern talking-to, and memes about the incident became the most talked-about detail of the night on X. In a lighter vein, talk of a feud with Lauren Sánchez fizzled out as the two posed together at a high-profile NYC event, giving gossip columns plenty of photo fodder.Fashion insiders agree that Wintour is far from retiring into the shadows. Whether it’s keeping her team on their toes or accepting a quirky peace offering from PETA in the form of a human hair scarf, her presence looms over every major development in fashion and media. The real question isn’t if Anna Wintour will make headlines, but what story she’ll write next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
