The Israeli actress also had a Christian Lacroix sweater on paired with it that was valued at 10,000 US dollars. Speaking about it Anna told Vogue back in 2012, "It was so unlike the studied and elegant close-ups that were typical of Vogue's covers back then, with tons of makeup and major jewelry. This one broke all the rules."
She further added, "Afterwards, in the way that these things can happen, people applied all sorts of interpretations: It was about mixing high and low, Michaela was pregnant, it was a religious statement. But none of these things was true. I had just looked at that picture and sensed the winds of change. And you can't ask for more from a cover image than that."

Naga Chaitanya Reveals His Sacred Weekend Ritual With Wife Sobhita Dhulipala
Last Updated: On Sunday, the couple either watch a film, take a stroll, or order their favourite food. Telugu star Naga Chaitanya recently shared insights into his married life with actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The actor shared that when they are both in Hyderabad, they make it a point to have breakfast and dinner together. On Sundays, the couple spends some quality time while watching a film, taking a stroll, or ordering their favourite food. In an interview with Man's World, Naga Chaitanya shared that they take turns planning vacations. 'She's into reading, I'm into racing. But we're both creative people. We take turns planning holidays. One time it's her lead, the next time it's mine," the actor said. Naga Chaitanya recalled the time when he taught Sobhita how to drive on a racetrack. He shared that 'once she started driving, she didn't want to stop". When asked which person he admires the most, the actor said, 'My dad and my mom and I put my wife as number three". Naga Chaitanya is the son of Telugu star Nagarjuna and Lakshmi Daggubati. Last month, rumours about Sobhita Dhulipala's pregnancy started circulating online. The buzz began after the actress attended the WAVES 2025 event in Mumbai, draped in a saree that many speculated was strategically styled to hide a baby bump. A family insider soon put the rumours to rest. In a quote to ETimes, the source said, 'She wore anti-fit, not maternity. It's amazing how a change in silhouette can birth a whole new storyline." Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's love story began with a fan question during one of Sobhita's Instagram AMAs. The actress realised Naga Chaitanya was following her and returned the favour. That moment led to DMs, frequent conversations and eventually, love. 'There was no mic drop. It just happened very organically," Sobhita shared with Vogue. After two years of romance, the couple got engaged in Hyderabad on August 8, 2024. They tied the knot on December 4 at Annapurna Studios in the presence of their close friends and family. Their union came three years after Naga Chaitanya's split from Samantha Ruth Prabhu. First Published:

Jeans on mag cover, focus on celebs: How Anna Wintour transformed Vogue and fashion industry
Anna Wintour has stepped down as editor-in-chief of American Vogue after 37 years at the helm. Her choices for the fashion magazine showed she was not afraid to think out of the box. From the centring of celebrities to featuring stonewashed Guess jeans on magazine cover, here's a look at her legacy at Vogue read more Anna Wintour poses during a photocall as she arrives to attend "Le Grand Diner du Louvre" to mark the first fashion exhibition "Louvre Couture: Art and Fashion - Statement Pieces" at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, on March 4, 2025. File Photo/Reuters After 37 years at the helm, fashion industry heavyweight Anna Wintour is stepping down from her position as editor-in-chief of American Vogue. It's not a retirement, though, as Wintour will maintain a leadership position at global fashion and lifestyle publisher Condé Nast (the owner of Vogue and other publications, such as Vanity Fair and Glamour). Nonetheless, Wintour's departure from the US edition of the magazine is a big moment for the fashion industry – one which she has single-handedly changed forever. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Fashion magazines are a rage Fashion magazines as we know them today were first formalised in the 19th century. They helped establish the ' trickle down theory' of fashion, wherein trends were traditionally dictated by certain industry elites, including major magazine editors. In Australia, getting your hands on a monthly issue meant rare exposure to the latest European or American fashion trends. Vogue itself was established in New York in 1892 by businessman Arthur Baldwin Turnure. The magazine targeted the city's elite class, initially covering various aspects of high-society life. In 1909, Vogue was acquired by Condé Nast. From then, the magazine increasingly cemented itself as a cornerstone of the fashion publishing. The period following the Second World War particularly opened the doors to mass fashion consumerism and an expanding fashion magazine culture. Wintour came on as editor of Vogue in 1988, at which point the magazine became less conservative, and more culturally significant. Not afraid to go out of the box Fashion publishing changed as a result of Wintour's bold editorial choices – especially when it came to the magazine's covers. Her choices both reflected, and dictated, shifts in fashion culture. Wintour's first cover at Vogue_,_ published in 1988, mixed couture garments (Christian Lacroix) with mainstream brands (stonewashed Guess jeans) – something which had never been done before. It was also the first time a Vogue cover had featured jeans at all – perfectly setting the scene for a long career spent pushing the magazine into new domains. Wintour also pioneered the centring of celebrities (rather than just models) within fashion discourse. And while she leveraged big names such as Beyonce, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Kate Moss, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, she also featured rising stars as cover models – often helping propel their careers in the process. Wintour's legacy at Vogue involved elevating fashion from a frivolous runway to a powerful industry, which is not scared to make a statement. Nowhere is this truer than at the Met Gala, which is held each year to celebrate the opening of a new fashion exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The event started as a simple fundraiser for the Met in 1948, before being linked to a fashion exhibit for the first time in 1974. Wintour took over its organisation in 1995. Her focus on securing exclusive celebrity guests helped propel it to the prestigious event it is today. This year's theme for the event was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. In a time where the US faces great political instability, Wintour was celebrated for her role in helping elevate Black history through the event. Not without controversy However, while her cultural influence can't be doubted, Wintour's legacy at American Vogue is not without fault. Notably, her ongoing feud with animal rights organisation PETA – due to her unwavering support for fur – has bubbled in the background since the heydays of the anti-fur movement. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Wintour has been targeted directly by anti-fur activists, both physically (she was hit with a tofu cream pie in 2005 while leaving a Chloe show) and through numerous protests. This issue was never resolved. Vogue has continued to showcase and feature fur clothing, even as the social license for using animal materials starts to run out. ogue editor Anna Wintour attends The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute benefit gala on May 6, 2019, in New York. File Photo/AP Fashion continues to grow increasingly political. How magazines such as Vogue will engage with this shift remains to be seen. Rising social media influence The rise of fashion blogging in recent decades has led to a wave of fashion influencers, with throngs of followers, who are challenging the unidirectional 'trickle-down' structure of the fashion industry. Today, social media platforms have overtaken traditional media influence both within and outside of fashion. And with this, the power of fashion editors such as Wintour is diminishing significantly. Many words will flow regarding Wintour's departure as editor-in-chief, but nowhere near as many as what she oversaw at the helm of the world's biggest fashion magazine.
