Anna Wintour's exit? The truth behind her Vogue departure and who's next
After three decades of running the fashion universe in high heels and sharper-than-your-tongue bob cuts, Anna Wintour has decided to step down as Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue. But no, she is not vanishing into a garden in the English countryside. She is simply "reshuffling" her power.
Anna Wintour is not leaving the fashion building, just swapping offices
At 75, Wintour told Vogue staff that while change is essential in the creative world, she is not stepping away from the action. Instead, someone new will take over as 'head of editorial content' for Vogue US, but still report to her. Translation? She is still the boss' boss.
And while everyone's whispering about who the next Vogue deity will be, Wintour is busy planning the next Met Gala, shaping global content across Condé Nast, and, according to her own dramatic flair, remaining Vogue's self-declared 'tennis and theatre editor in perpetuity.' A true queen move.
So, what exactly will Anna still be doing at Vogue?
Wintour may be passing the torch, but not the fire. She will continue as Condé Nast's Global Chief Content Officer and Global Editorial Director at Vogue, overseeing ALL the editions worldwide. From Vanity Fair to GQ and Architectural Digest, she still has her stylish fingers in every pie.
She also remains the mastermind behind Vogue World and the Met Gala, basically, anything that makes fashion exciting, expensive, and impossible to ignore. So, while she will not be making monthly cover calls, she is still running the show.
Who's got next?
That is the golden question. The fashion world is buzzing about who could possibly take over one of the most influential jobs in media. Wintour herself said the next EIC should bring a bold, fresh perspective, basically, someone who can shake the Vogue archives and not get buried under them.
From Devil Wears Prada to real-life power plays
Her icy reputation and the Miranda Priestly comparisons? Legendary. Her September Issue documentary? Groundbreaking. Her decision to put jeans and a $10,000 sweater on her first Vogue cover in 1988? Revolutionary. Wintour has rewritten the fashion rulebook, and now, she is rewriting her own legacy.
Whoever dares to follow her better come dressed… for battle.

The infamous rivalry will now transform into a courtroom drama, as the fight for the French winery is going to continue. Pitt vs Jolie trial to begin... According to US Weekly, Brad Pitt revealed in the court documents that the expected time for the jury trial will last for a fortnight, regarding the lawsuit he has against his ex-wife. The court documents also reveal that Jolie has agreed to the given time period. However, the date of the trial is yet to be determined, as several of the motions are yet to be decided. The 'F1' star has anointed this case as 'complicated' as many foreign parties are involved in the matter, and the defence has filed many cross claims in the case. What is the mess around the Miraval winery? The Chateau Miraval winery was bought by Pitt and Jolie when they were still head over heels for each other in 2008. When the disastrous and allegedly abusive private jet incident occurred, the couple decided to part ways but keep the winery to pass it down to their 6 children.

In 2021, Jolie had approached Pitt to tell him that she wanted out of the Miraval shares through a private email, which the 'Fight Club' actor submitted to the court as one of the documents. 'In the past four years I have seen lots of inconsiderate behavior, money spent in ways that I would not have approved, and decisions made that I was not consulted on,' she wrote in the mail, before adding, 'I've been hurt by decisions that have been made that show no interest in sharing the business or changing it fundamentally into something that would be healthier for our children. ' While the ex-couple did work on buying her shares, Jolie claims that Pitt tried to make her sign an NDA, which would cover up years of abuse. Pitt denied the claim, and his lawyer argues that the accusations are a sham in the pretext of her selling the shares to a Russian billionaire, striking a deal with a third party.

Reason behind Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's success is these 8 powerful women: Kokilaben Ambani, Nita Ambani, Tina Ambani, Isha Ambani and...
Bollywood dazzles with its stars, but the true power moves behind the scenes—especially within India's wealthiest family. The Ambani women aren't just arm candy; they're architects of influence, each weaving unique strands into the Reliance story. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani began as the silent partner to her husband's fledgling textile dreams. A Gujarati girl who learned English by mimicking investor speeches, she managed credit lines and family budgets while running the household. Today, she holds a personal stake in Reliance estimated at Rs 18,000 crore and still calls the shots at family dinners—once the jalebis arrive, all boardroom battles end. Nita Ambani It's Nita Ambani, the founding force behind Reliance Foundation and the Mumbai Indians. Under her leadership, the foundation funds rural health, girl education, and disaster relief. If you've attended an IPL match or the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, you've seen her blend Bharatanatyam grace with conference-floor charisma—she quips, 'Excel sheets flow better after a good aramandi.' Purnima Dalal Purnima Dalal, Nita's mother, often goes unnoticed—but her influence shines brightest in the stands beside Jasprit Bumrah. A humble Gujarati, Purnima's presence offers emotional ballast; her voice, Nita has said, is her 'personal GPS—always pointing true north.' Mamta Dalal Mamta Dalal, a senior administrator at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, shepherds celebrity kids through MUNs and math tests. She ensures The Khan kids hand in homework and never misses staff meetings—with a red pen ready, regardless of your surname. Radhika Merchant Radhika Merchant brought finance credentials—and a flair for dance—to the family. Now Anant Ambani's fiancée, her NYU & Encore Healthcare resume promises future influence—and ₹10 crore plus in personal wealth. Tina Anil Ambani Tina Anil Ambani, once a 1980s silver-screen star, now chairs Kokilaben Hospital and the Harmony Art Foundation. She continues to attend film society screenings in disguise—turns out old training does still come in handy. Isha Ambani Piramal Isha Ambani Piramal, now a fintech board member and mom of twins via IVF, she's spoken openly about motherhood and mental health—giving visibility to fertility struggles across India. Shloka Mehta Ambani Shloka Mehta Ambani, Princeton alum and director at Rosy Blue, tours the world debating ethical bead-making supply chains—and still checks on Mumbai's cow welfare every fortnight. Nina Kothari Nina Kothari, who leads Kothari Sugars and backs literacy campaigns in Tamil Nadu; and Deepti Salgaoncar, co-founder of Goa's Sunaparanta arts centre, curating everything from Mario Miranda to QR-code installations. These nine women—from Chennai classrooms to diamond boards—reinvent Reliance not by mirroring its patriarchs but by adding original voices. Their collective influence spans finance, education, culture, and care. This isn't just a dynasty's second act—it's the quiet pulse that truly powers it.
