Anna Wintour announces new editor-in-chief of Vogue

Anna Wintour recently announced her replacement as the Editor-in-Chief of US Vogue on social media, sparking reaction from fans.

On September 1, the official Instagram account of Vogue posted a picture of the successor with a message from Wintour.

The 75-year-old fashion icon revealed that Chloe Malle is the perfect choice to head the editorial content for US Vogue.

She said, “When it came to hiring someone to edit American Vogue, letting me turn my attention more intensely to Vogue’s multifaceted growth across its global audience. I knew I had one chance to get it right.”

The artistic director concluded her speech, “I’m thrilled to announce that Chloe Malle will be the next Head of Editorial Content for our US title, leading the American magazine and guiding its digital coverage.”

Netizens rushed to the comment section to congratulate Malle. One fan wrote, “Succession but make it couture.” Another well-wisher penned, “This isn’t the end of an era. It’s the start.”

Notably, on June 26, 2025, Wintour publicised her exit from the role of Editor-in-Chief at Vogue, a position that she had held for the last 40 years.

The cultural icon left with a legacy that fans speculate might not get surpassed, like turning the Met Gala from a fundraiser to an internationally watched spectacle and becoming synonymous with the Vogue brand.
