The next Anna Wintour? LinkedIn users think they know who it should be
On June 26, 2025, the world of fashion received shocking news. In a staff meeting, it was announced that
Anna Wintour
, fashion and magazine legend would be stepping down as the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue.
Wintour, 75 has had a legendary and exemplary career at the position for 37 years. She still remains with Conde Nast as Global Chief Content Officer and as Vogue's Global Editorial Director.
Recently, a new
post
on the LinkedIn profile of Conde Nast shocked the netizens as it was a hiring post for the Head of Editorial Content for U.S. Vogue. The post urged interested candidates to reach out by email with their resume.
Typically, such impactful and vital positions are filled by someone from within the company and are rarely seen as openings for a general aspiring candidate.
Thus, the post not only sent people into shock but also sparked a hilarious commenting fest with everyone suggesting their favourite choice for the position.
Who is the ideal candidate for Vogue?

Most of the netizens commented "Jacqueline Follet" the popular character from the movie Devil Wears Prada whom Miranda Priestly herself recommends as a replacement. "Is Jacqueline Follet on LinkedIn" wrote one.
Others, of course, recommended the diva herself- 'Miranda Priestly!' played by
Meryl Streep
as the perfect candidate to match Wintour's charm and talent, considering the popular belief that the character was based on her.

"My friend Miranda Priestly who's editor-in-chief at Runway would be spectacular, reach out to her assistants Emily or Andy and they'll leave word" commented a person under the post.
Some even brought up the character 'Nigel' played by
Stanley Tucci
as the prospective editor.
Of course, the ideal candidate was also in the list with people posting photos of Anne Hathaway's character Andy Sachs pointing out that it was the perfect time for her to shine. "Someone is ready for it" and "Come on Andy Sachs, it's your time to return and shine" were some comments.

'Fire everyone involved': Vogue slammed for sidelining Usher on his own Super Bowl cover with white model front and center
Usher's Vogue cover, intended to celebrate his 30-year career and Super Bowl halftime performance, sparked controversy (Getty Images) In January 2024, as anticipation mounted for Usher's Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance, the R&B icon made headlines—not just for his career milestone, but for the controversy surrounding his first-ever Vogue cover. What should've been a triumphant solo spotlight for a singer with three decades of influence turned into a firestorm over artistic choices that many fans called 'disrespectful' and 'tone-deaf.' Usher landed Vogue cover—but shares the spotlight unexpectedly Vogue revealed its Winter 2024 Digital cover on January 17, 2024 featuring Usher alongside supermodel Carolyn Murphy and a youth football team. While the feature celebrated Usher's 30-year career and his upcoming Super Bowl show, the decision to position him behind Murphy raised eyebrows. 'For Vogue's Winter 2024 Digital issue, Usher discusses his 30-year career, his lifelong love of fashion, and what fans can expect at halftime next month,' the magazine shared on Instagram. Murphy, who posted additional shots from the shoot, praised Usher as 'a leading man in every sense.' But many online were baffled by why the Grammy-winning artist wasn't front and center on his own cover—especially when the piece was meant to honor his legacy and upcoming historic performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Fans called out Vogue for sidelining Usher on his own big moment Social media erupted almost instantly. An user, @thatsoleelee wrote, 'A Vogue cover with Usher should have, and easily could have been, iconic. Instead, you've made it unfortunate. No worries though. A Black publication will give us what we need.' Another user @JzonAzari wrote, 'There were multiple angles for football related covers and this was the choice? Back to the drawing board for more ideas because, no.' Fans thrashing Vogue (SS via Twitter) Another user @EbtheCeleb wrote, 'The CD needs to be fired. This is lazy and as fashionable as Usher is why was this the creative choice for him not to showcase fashion on the cover of a fashion magazine. Literally fire everyone involved.' Others drew parallels to LeBron James's 2008 Vogue cover with Gisele Bündchen—another instance critics felt played into problematic racial optics. Despite the noise, Usher remained focused on his mission for the halftime show. 'This night was specifically curated in my mind to have R&B take the main stage,' he told Vogue. 'Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit.' Also Read: Could 2025 be the last dance for Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes?

Gisele Bündchen finally breaks free after Tom Brady divorce and says she's 'earned' her new life of peace and purpose
Gisele Bündchen has finally moved on completely following her divorce (Getty Images) Nearly three years after her high-profile divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen is stepping into a new era—one that centers on family, self-acceptance, and hard-earned peace. The Brazilian supermodel, now 44, recently opened up about this transformative chapter of her life in an interview with French Vogue, and her words paint a portrait of a woman who has not only survived heartbreak but grown stronger because of it. Gisele Bündchen's new chapter includes a baby, peace, and a life far from the spotlight In February 2025, Gisele Bündchen welcomed a baby boy with her longtime boyfriend, jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente. While the couple has kept much of their relationship and new family life private, Gisele gave fans a rare peek on Mother's Day when she posted the first photos of her son, writing that she's been 'very busy living life.' She's also continued to embrace her role as a devoted mom to her three other children: 15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian, whom she shares with Tom Brady, and Jack, Tom's 17-year-old son with Bridget Moynahan, whom Gisele lovingly calls her 'bonus' child. From heartbreak to empowerment: Gisele Bündchen speaks candidly about her journey The supermodel's divorce from Brady in October 2022 was deeply personal and painful. Reflecting on that time, Gisele once described the separation as 'the death of [her] dream,' telling Vanity Fair in 2023: 'You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it's heartbreaking when it doesn't end up the way you hoped for… but you can only do your part.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Start Here - 2025 Top Trend Local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo Now, however, she feels more in control—especially after months of sleepless nights with a newborn. 'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my routine,' she told Vogue. 'As any new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep—or lack of it—can change everything!' In the Vogue cover interview, Gisele reflected on her growth since the divorce: 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin and have a clearer understanding of my priorities,' she said. 'I'm grateful for where I am. I feel like I've earned it.'
