Raised in London, Wintour's journey with Vogue began as the editor of British Vogue before taking over the reins at its US counterpart in 1988. Throughout her tenure, she revitalized American Vogue, diversifying its model representation and blending high fashion with accessible styles. Wintour’s influence extends beyond Vogue; she has also been at the helm of organizing the Met Gala since 1995, solidifying her status as a fashion icon. Her distinctive bob hairstyle and dark sunglasses have become her signature look, with Wintour describing the glasses as a "prop" to help navigate both her work and public perception. Her legacy also inspired the character of Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada," showcasing her significant impact on pop culture. Earlier this year, when asked by King Charles about retirement, Wintour firmly stated, "no," reaffirming her dedication to the industry.

As Wintour embarks on this new chapter, the fashion world watches with anticipation for the future of Vogue under new editorial leadership.
