At the prestigious Celine show during Paris Fashion Week on Saturday, Anna Wintour made a striking appearance in a chic blue trench coat, layered over a vibrant red dress and heeled boots. The 76-year-old former Vogue editor looked effortlessly elegant as she joined actress Naomi Watts, who opted for a more casual ensemble of blue jeans, a crisp white shirt, and a black blazer, completed with white leather boots and black-tinted sunglasses.
Fashion Highlights and Celebrity Styles
The event was a showcase of diverse fashion statements. Natasha Lyonne added a burst of colour with a red, blue, and yellow floral dress, while Suzy Bae impressed in a sleek black leather jacket paired with tailored trousers. Gina Redlinger turned heads in a double-breasted blazer dress, contributing to the glamorous atmosphere of the show.
Wintour's Advocacy for Social Media Restrictions
Beyond the fashion, Anna Wintour used her platform to voice strong support for Australia's new social media ban targeting children under 16. In a recent episode of the podcast The Rest is Politics: Leading, she commended Australia for taking decisive action to protect young people's mental health. "I'm very proud of Australia that they've taken a stand on social media and young people," Wintour stated. "Because I think the addiction to social media is incredibly stressful and very harmful to mental health."
The sweeping restrictions, which block access to major platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, came into effect on December 10 and have ignited global debate. Wintour joins other high-profile figures such as Oprah Winfrey and Chris Pratt in endorsing the measure.
Awkward Moment with Vogue Protégé Chloe Malle
In a separate development, an interview with the New York Times revealed a potentially awkward moment between Anna Wintour and her Vogue protégé, Chloe Malle. The 40-year-old, daughter of Candice Bergen and the late director Louis Malle, was appointed as head of editorial content at Vogue in September, while Wintour continues as Global Chief Content Officer for Condé Nast.
During the interview, when asked what she would do with a larger budget similar to Vogue's in the 1990s, Chloe outlined ambitious plans including building a podcast studio, increasing staff salaries, and expanding social and app teams. However, Wintour appeared unimpressed, giving Chloe a withering look from behind her signature sunglasses, hinting at differing management styles as they navigate the magazine's future.
