Anna Wintour steps down as Vogue editor-in-chief after four decades
Anna Wintour, who took Vogue to new heights as its top editor, will stay on as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and Vogue's global editorial director
After nearly four decades helming the world's premier fashion magazine, Anna Wintour is out at Vogue.
The editor and style icon, 75, will step down this year, WWD and Business of Fashion report, and the magazine will seek a new head of editorial content. Wintour, known for her stern management style and iconic A-frame bob, will stay on as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and the global editorial director at Vogue, the outlets report.
Since her start at Vogue in 1988, Wintour has become synonymous with the high fashion scene, sitting stoically in the front row of New York Fashion Week shows, helming the Met Gala and presiding over the glossy pages of a magazine largely considered the "fashion bible."
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Wintour and Vogue for comment.

Rita Ora Talks Proposing To Taika Waititi
Rita Ora is sharing details of her engagement to Taika Waititi. The two began dating in 2021 after meeting at a barbecue at Taika's house in 2018, and in 2022, they got engaged. "Rita proposed to me," Taika previously told Vogue, "and I said 'yes' instantly." Rita shared more details about their engagement this past week on the Begin Again podcast, recalling how it all went down during a trip to Palm Springs. "I rented a hotel room in Palm Springs. A really nice fancy one, filled it up with balloons — heart-shaped balloons and a heart-shaped cake, because I'm basically doing what I would have wanted for mine," she said, laughing. Rita said, "He walks into the room and he's like, 'What the hell? Is it Valentine's Day?' I'm like 'No!'" So "anyway, I get down on one knee, and he was just like, 'What is happening?'" Rita said she initially thought his reaction meant he would say no. She remembered thinking, "Maybe he doesn't want it. Maybe it's okay to just be in a relationship." "Which was fine with me, too," she clarified. "But I just wanted to lock him down." Luckily for her, Taika said yes: "He said, 'Absolutely. What the hell, get up.'" And we all know what happened from there — Taika and Rita got married in August 2022. "It was beautiful," Rita told the host of their nuptials. Listen to the podcast here and then tell me what you think of all this in the comments.

Jeff Bezos ‘Begged' to See Lauren Sánchez's Dress Before Venice Wedding. This Was Her Answer (Exclusive)
Jeff Bezos 'begged' to see Lauren Sánchez's wedding dress before their June 27 wedding day, Vogue Italia's Fashion News & Wedding Editor Laura Tortora exclusively tells PEOPLE 'But inside herself she resisted because she wanted to give him this surprise at all costs and so she managed it,' Tortora says Sánchez wore a corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress custom-designed by Dolce & Gabbana at their ceremonyJeff Bezos couldn't wait to see his bride's wedding dress. While speaking to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, Vogue Italia's Fashion News & Wedding Editor Laura Tortora revealed that the Amazon founder, 61, 'begged' to see Lauren Sánchez's wedding dress before their big day. "This happened after the fitting at Dolce & Gabbana, so her last fitting, and our insiders saw her immediately after, and she was really, really excited," Tortora says. "She herself said, 'It was stronger than I imagined,' and she told us that Jeff wanted to see this dress." 'Bezos begged to see the dress. But inside herself she resisted because she wanted to give him this surprise at all costs and so she managed it,' Tortora adds of Sánchez, 55. During the couple's Vogue editorial shoot, Tortora says Bezos 'was kept in a room that didn't face the lawn where she was being photographed, so even in that context, attention was paid to this so she could maintain the secret with her future husband.' Bezos and Sánchez wed on Friday, June 27, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, in front of a star-studded guest list. The children's book author wore a corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress that was custom-designed by Dolce & Gabbana. The gown featured hand-appliquéd Italian lace and 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons, per Vogue. The bride paired the dress with borrowed Dolce Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings and a secret souvenir from her Blue Origin space flight as her 'something blue.' She shared photos of her glam process on her wedding day via Instagram with the caption, 'Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made.' Sánchez told Vogue about her final wedding dress fitting, weeks out of their big day. "It was more powerful than I thought," she said, adding that she "almost gave in" when Bezos asked to see the dress early. "But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face," Sánchez added.

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez put a bow on wedding weekend with last bash
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded wedding weekend is a wrap. The casually clad newlyweds were spotted on a boat leaving the Aman hotel in Venice on Sunday, June 29, after a final night of partying capped a three-day wedding extravaganza. She donned a wide-rimmed black hat and dark sunglasses with a sleeveless white dress, while he wore a black tee and shades, his arm around his wife's waist. The couple smiled and waved to photographers as they exited. Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, exchanged rings on Friday, June 27, on the small island of San Giorgio, across the water from Saint Mark's Square, accompanied by singing from Matteo Bocelli, son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Jordan's Queen Rania, Oprah Winfrey, Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Kim and Khloe Kardashian, as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, were among the A-listers present. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wed: The couple tie the knot in controversial wedding ceremony A bash held the day after the wedding ceremony− which wrapped up a weekend of celebrations for 200 to 250 guests, estimated to have cost $50 million in all − took place on Saturday, June 28, in the Arsenale, a former medieval shipyard in an eastern district of the lagoon city. Celebrity guests were seen leaving the Gritti Palace hotel in central Venice wearing their interpretation of pajamas and loungewear before boarding small boats to reach the party. Bezos and Sánchez chose a dressier look. He sported a black shirt and suit, while she wore a soft-pink off-the-shoulder dress. They kissed on the boat while greeting those around them. About 1,000 people marched on June 28 in protest of the lavish festivities. Activists unfurled banners that read, "No space for Bezos" and "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." At the ceremony, the bride wore a high-necked silhouette dress and a tulle and lace veil by Dolce & Gabbana, which she told Vogue was based on Sophia Loren's dress to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film, "Houseboat." Sánchez was also wearing a pair of diamond earrings by Dolce & Gabbana, which, according to Vogue, were lent to her in keeping with the tradition that it brings good luck for a bride to wear something borrowed. Bezos, who is No. 4 on Forbes' global billionaires list, donned a black tuxedo and bow tie over a white shirt. While some residents and activists raged against Bezos as a symbol of inequality and arrogance, Venetian businesses and political leaders welcomed the luxury nuptials, hailing them as major boost for the local economy. "Those who protest are in contradiction with the history of Venice, which is a history of relations, contacts and business," Mayor Luigi Brugnaro told Reuters. Lauren Sánchez made this subtle change: Here's what she did after marrying Jeff Bezos "Bezos embodies the Venetian mentality. He is more Venetian than the protesters," the mayor said. He added that he hoped Bezos, who donated 3 million euros ($3.51 million) to local institutions, would return to the city to do business. Brugnaro said Bezos had attached no conditions to holding his wedding celebrations in Venice, and City Hall had only learned about his donations after they had already been made. Bezos, Amazon's executive chair, got engaged to Sánchez in 2023, four years after the end of his 25-year marriage to novelist and philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
