    Anna Wintour: Devil Wears Prada Revelations and Vogue's Future | Podcast
    Sep 13 2025
    Anna Wintour BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Nearly two decades after The Devil Wears Prada became a fashion and pop culture touchstone, my name is once again trending as I finally broke my silence on the film that has defined so many public perceptions of me. In a recent conversation with David Remnick on The New Yorker Radio Hour, I addressed what’s long been whispered: Did Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly sting I admitted I once feared the movie would cast me as a caricature but ultimately called it highly enjoyable, witty, and fair. According to The Los Angeles Times and CNN, I praised Streep’s performance, confessed to accidentally wearing Prada to the premiere without knowing the plot, and even reflected that the film’s humor and cast made it “a fair shot.” My remarks come just as the official sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 is ramping up anticipation for its May 2026 release, with the original stars Streep, Hathaway, Blunt, and Tucci all returning, joined by new faces like Kenneth Branagh, Justin Theroux, and Lucy Liu. Industry observers on social media note the irony: my praise is the best PR the sequel could get, even as raucous memes and hot takes jump between admiration and jest.

    Of course the news is not just about my Hollywood connection. I stepped down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue this past June after a monumental 37-year tenure but continue to dictate the editorial winds as Global Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director for Condé Nast’s portfolio, which includes The New Yorker, GQ, Vanity Fair, and Wired. The seismic shift at Vogue rippled through both legacy media and social platforms, with speculation swirling about the magazine’s future in today’s tumultuous publishing climate. On September 2, I named Chloe Malle—formerly Vogue’s social media editor and daughter of Candice Bergen—as Vogue US’s new head of editorial content. This drew both optimism and skepticism from industry insiders, with some predicting an uphill battle for print in the digital age. Malle herself told The Times, “Placing my own stamp on this is going to be the most important part of this being a success. There has to be a noticeable shift that makes this mine.”

    Recent headlines and online commentary continue to stir up my legacy, with frequent viral comparisons between Miranda Priestly and myself, debate over my enduring influence, and ongoing coverage of my role shaping Condé Nast’s global voice. As speculation simmers about Vogue’s and my own next chapter, I remain a rare force at the center of both fashion and media.

  • Anna Wintour: Fashion Icon's Legacy and Life After Vogue

    Anna Wintour: Fashion Icon's Legacy and Life After Vogue
    Sep 9 2025
    Anna Wintour BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Wintour has dominated headlines this week as Vogue officially ushers in its post-Wintour era with the appointment of Chloé Malle as Chief Editorial Content Officer, ending Wintour’s reign of almost forty years. Mylemonmagazine.com characterizes this transition as a turning of the page for the iconic magazine, setting the fashion world abuzz about potential shifts in editorial voice and influence under new leadership. The move promises to echo across the industry for years, with many insiders speculating about Wintour’s legacy and how she will continue to shape the conversation from outside the editor’s office. While there are as yet no formal statements from Wintour herself on this major change, her presence remains palpable at high-profile events.

    On September 5th, Anna Wintour made a striking appearance at the Open Tennis Championship, arriving with actor Hugh Jackman according to a video published by YouTube. Her courtside attendance, coupled with her signature sunglasses and impeccable style, drew social media buzz and was quickly circulated on Instagram and X by style commentators and tennis aficionados alike. The pairing with Jackman fueled fresh speculation about Wintour’s post-Vogue social calendar and whether she plans to embrace a more public-facing role in the entertainment or sports worlds.

    Business media and fashion circles have been actively dissecting the ramifications of her departure from Vogue. While there is no public confirmation of new ventures, market observers are watching to see if she will take on advisory roles, board appointments, or consulting work for luxury brands. As of now, there are no documented announcements regarding new business activities; however, the industry is anticipating further updates, with several journalists quoting unnamed sources about possible negotiations between Wintour and major European luxury houses. This remains unconfirmed and should be treated as speculation rather than established fact.

    On social platforms, the hashtag AnnaWintour trended briefly following the Vogue succession news and her tennis outing. Most notable were discussions about how her influence might remain embedded in Condé Nast culture and the wider editorial landscape. The long-term significance of these developments cannot be overstated: with her exit, fashion journalism and magazine publishing may pivot toward greater digital integration and new voices, setting a precedent that will be closely watched in the coming months. For now, Anna Wintour remains a central figure—her every public move scrutinized as the fashion world adjusts to life after her era at Vogue.

  • Anna Wintour's Legacy Shift: Vogue's New Era and Enduring Icon Status

    Anna Wintour's Legacy Shift: Vogue's New Era and Enduring Icon Status
    Sep 6 2025
    Anna Wintour BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

    Anna Wintour made waves over the past few days with not just one but two events that will shape her biographical legacy and the fashion industry at large. One of the most significant headlines comes from Vogue itself, which announced that Wintour has tapped Chloe Malle as the new Head of Editorial Content for Vogue US. According to Vogue Magazine’s official social media and a report from Hypebeast, this marks the first time in 37 years that someone other than Anna Wintour will steer the US edition. Wintour, still global chief and Artistic Director for Condé Nast, made it clear she will focus on bigger-picture initiatives, global growth, and flagship events like the Met Gala and Vogue World. She told her team that fashion is the art of embracing change, but that this particular change felt especially close to her heart. Wintour’s remarks, widely quoted across both Vogue’s Instagram and news outlets, emphasized that she "knew she had one chance to get it right" and expressed excitement about Malle’s leadership. Malle herself acknowledged to The Times and The New York Times that "no one’s going to replace Anna" while pledging to place her own stamp on the publication. This transition has been the subject of industry speculation for years, but its confirmation via both Vogue and major entertainment news outlets signifies a generational shift with major long-term impact.

    In addition to this historic handover, Anna Wintour maintained her position as an ever-present industry icon, making stylish headlines at the US Open. Page Six and Getty captured her arriving at the 2025 US Open Championship alongside Hugh Jackman and later seen chatting with both Jackman and Rami Malek, instantly attracting attention from fellow attendees and the celebrity press. Footage circulating on YouTube, TikTok, and Threads shows Wintour in high spirits, her signature sunglasses in place, being warmly greeted by Jackman—a moment replayed across social media and cited as emblematic of her continued star power beyond the pages of fashion magazines.

    Together, these moments—one a sweeping editorial transition, the other a reminder of her cultural cachet—underscore Anna Wintour’s enduring relevance. There is no credible reporting of any controversy or scandal; all focused news is on these official events, her calculated transition of editor-in-chief responsibilities, and her omnipresence at high society happenings. No unconfirmed or speculative stories have gained prominence this week.
