Create Account Wintour, 75, was famous for making Vogue's front covers an authoritative statement on contemporary fashion, and for her total control over the glamorous pages inside. She will no longer run day-to-day editing of the fashion bible, but magazine group owner Conde Nast was quick to scotch suggestions that she was retiring. She will continue to hold senior roles at the group and remain Vogue's global editorial director, a company source said. British-born Wintour came to wider public renown as the inspiration for 'The Devil Wears Prada,' a hit 2003 novel and 2006 movie, for which Meryl Streep earned an Oscar nomination for her role as tyrannical magazine editor Miranda Priestly. Wintour announced at a staff meeting in New York that the monthly publication would seek a new head of editorial content, several U.S. media reported.

She was made a British dame in 2017 and in February this year became a companion of honour, joining a select group never numbering more than 65 recognized for major contributions in their field. At the ceremony in London in February, Wintour removed her trademark sunglasses to receive the award and said she had told King Charles III that she had no plans to stop working. Wintour, who was raised in the U.K. by a British father and an American mother, reigned over Vogue in the heyday of glossy magazines. U.S. Vogue was a staid title when she took it over in 1988 and transformed it into a powerhouse that set trends — and make or break designers, celebrities and brands. She took the title to a global audience, with huge budgets to spend on models, design, photographs and journalism funded by lavish advertisements and high subscription rates. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Vogue remains fashion's flagship magazine but, like many print publications, has struggled to adapt to the digital era. Wintour was known for decisive leadership, such as axing work without discussion, and as a fixture in the front row at catwalk shows with her unchanging bob haircut. A 2015 documentary 'The September Issue' about the magazine pointed to her ice queen image and steely ambition but also revealed a warmer human side. Wintour has for many years also run the Met Gala, an extravagant Manhattan fundraiser that attracts an A-list of dressed-up stars from the worlds of fashion, film, politics and sports. As Conde Nast's chief content officer, she will continue to oversee publications including Vogue , Wired , Vanity Fair , GQ , Conde Nast Traveler and Glamour . For many years, Wintour declined to comment on 'The Devil Wears Prada,' which was written by one of Wintour's former assistants, Lauren Weisberger. But when it was turned into a musical and opened in London in 2024, she told the BBC that it was 'for the audience and for the people I work with to decide if there are any similarities between me and Miranda Priestly.' Explaining her sunglasses, she told the outlet that 'they help me see and they help me not see. They help me be seen and not be seen. They are a prop, I would say.'

Magazine legend Anna Wintour is stepping down as editor of fashion bible U.S. Vogue after 37 years in the post, U.S. media reported Thursday (June 26, 2025). British-born Wintour, 75, has been one of the most influential and formidable figures in fashion and magazine journalism for decades, famous for her ever-present sunglasses and unchanging bob haircut. She was widely seen as the inspiration behind 'The Devil Wears Prada,' a hit 2003 novel and 2006 movie, in which the role of a tyrannical magazine editor was played by Meryl Streep. Ms. Wintour, who took the helm at U.S. Vogue in 1988, announced her departure at a staff meeting, but she will stay on as group owner Conde Nast's global chief content officer and as editorial director at Vogue, People magazine reported. Several other publications also reported this news. Ms. Wintour, who held the title of Vogue's editor-in-chief, was made a British dame in 2017 and in February this year, she was made a companion of honour, joining a select group never numbering more than 65 recognised for major contributions in their field. At the ceremony in London in February, she removed her trademark sunglasses to receive the award and said she had told King Charles III that she had no plans to stop working. Ms. Wintour, who was raised in the U.K. by a British father and an American mother, is described by many as the single most powerful person in the global fashion industry. Her choice of covers for the monthly magazine was seen as authoritative in the publication's heyday, and she was renowned for her strict control over content, sometimes axing work without discussion. A 2015 documentary about her life pointed to her ice queen image and steely ambition but also revealed her warmer side.

Justin Bieber deletes controversial apology to Hailey Bieber over Vogue cover
Justin Bieber has deleted the bizarre apology he made to Hailey Bieber amid the release of her new cover for U.S. Vogue. On Tuesday, the popstar took to Instagram to congratulate his wife on landing a photoshoot for the June 2025 issue of the magazine. "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue (sic). Yikes I know, so mean," he wrote, recalling how he used the insult because he "felt so disrespected". Justin went on to note that he has realised there's no such thing as "getting even" as he has "matured" and "we're honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection". To conclude, the Boyfriend hitmaker apologised to Hailey for underestimating her. "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken (sic)," the 31-year-old added. Accordingly, fans were divided over the apology in the comments section. Some praised Justin for being open about his past mistakes, while others were critical of the "hurtful" tone of the message. And several hours after the message was posted, Canadian star deleted the apology and replaced it with some emojis. Justin also congratulated Hailey, 28, on the news that her Rhode skincare brand will soon be stocked at Sephora in the U.S. soon. "Damn I know you been excited for this babesss (sic)," he praised. In the Vogue profile, Justin gushed over his wife's achievements. "I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey," he said. "She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy." Justin and Hailey wed in 2018 and welcomed a son named Jack last August.

Dior haute couture show in Paris is a masterful dance through time
Designer Maria Grazia Chiuri delved into the storied archives of Christian Dior for her latest haute couture collection Monday, exploring the transformations of time. The accomplished spring 2025 show — one of Chiuri's best in seasons — drew from the key silhouettes of Dior's iconic past designers, such as Yves Saint Laurent, and infusing them with her distinct contemporary vision. The memory of fashion The show was a commentary on how fashion serves as a lens for understanding time. Key inspirations included the Trapèze line, originally conceived by Saint Laurent in 1958, and Christian Dior's Cigale silhouette from 1952, both updated with modern fabrics. The looks: where past meets present Chiuri's vision unfolded with flowing capes adorned with organza-crafted feathers, shimmering black coats embroidered with three-dimensional silver, and lace-trimmed tulle skirts that evoked a sense of playful nostalgia. Crinolines were reimagined as ethereal cages with embroidered branches, and moiré-tailcoat miniskirt ensembles added bold, modern contrasts to classic silhouettes. A standout piece included a burnished silver gown shimmering with intricate embroidery, creating a sense of movement and transformation. Another highlight featured a cape of delicate petals that turned the model into a surreal flower-woman, blending whimsy with couture precision. The show garnered a rare standing ovation from powerful U.S. Vogue chief Anna Wintour. Stars among the petals The show unfolded in the picturesque gardens of the Musée Rodin in Paris, attended by guests including actress Jenna Ortega, the star of Netflix's Wednesday, and Anya Taylor-Joy, known for her role in The Queen's Gambit. Sports icon Venus Williams brought her commanding presence to the event, while Pamela Anderson and French actress and model Laetitia Casta were also present. Dior ambassador Kim Jisoo further underscored the house's international appeal. Setting and artistry in harmony The venue itself was part of the spectacle. The walls were adorned with a large-scale textile installation titled 'The Flowers We Grew,' created by Indian artist Rithika Merchant and translated into fabric by the Chanakya School of Craft. The artwork drew on stories of womanhood across generations, blending botanical motifs and universal symbols. Dior's commitment to supporting women artists shone through, with this interdisciplinary collaboration highlighting the craftsmanship of Merchant and the Chanakya ateliers. Following the show, the public will have the chance to view the installation in the Rodin museum gardens from Jan. 28 to Feb. 2.
