Anna Wintour arrives at Met Gala in feathered look
New York City, May 5
And Hollywood's biggest fashion night has begun! Anna Wintour, the lead chairperson of the annual fundraiser, made a striking entrance at the Met Gala, commanding attention with her panache.
For the gala night, Anna opted for a feathery turquoise jacket, which she paired with a turquoise and black embroidered gown, courtesy of Chanel.
As for accessories, the 76-year-old kept her typical bob and bangs hairstyle and donned her usual oversized sunglasses. On her feet were strappy black stilettos and her neck bore a jeweled statement necklace, as per eonline.
This year's theme, Costume Art, draws inspiration from the museum's new exhibition, featuring 400 outfits and objects that span 5,000 years of fashion history. The gala dress code is Fashion Is Art.
As for Anna's role at Vogue, Chloe Malle was named her successor and head of editorial content in September.
"Fashion and media are both evolving at breakneck speed, and I am so thrilled--and awed--to be part of that," Chloe--who had been the editor of Vogue.com--said in a press release obtained by NBC News at the time. "I also feel incredibly fortunate to still have Anna just down the hall as my mentor."

So basically she wore a jacket covered in chicken feathers and called it haute couture? And people actually care about this? Meanwhile in India, we have real craftsmanship like kanjeevaram silk and bandhani that actually takes weeks to make. But okay, Chanel 🙄
The woman is an icon, no doubt about it. Her legacy is unmatched. But I'm more interested in who wore Sabyasachi or Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla this year. Too bad most Bollywood stars skip Met Gala - we need more Indian representation on global fashion platforms!
Feathers, sunglasses, and that bob - same look every single year. At least she's consistent? 😅 But seriously, the amount of money spent on one event could fund so many schools here. Just saying.
Respect her contribution to fashion, but this theme "Costume Art" with 5000 years of fashion history - I hope they included Indian textile history too. Silk, cotton, everything originated here. Would love to see Vogue acknowledge that instead of just Chanel and other Western houses.
So she's stepping down from Vogue? Finally some fresh perspective. Chloe Malle sounds promising - maybe she'll feature more non-Western designers. Indian fashion designers like Rahul Mishra and Sabyasachi deserve global recognition, not just the same old European names. 🪷
