Anderson, 40, becomes the first designer to oversee all divisions of the fashion house. Delphine Arnault, chair and CEO of Dior, called him 'the most talented designer of his generation.' His appointment marks a bold new direction for the storied brand, echoing the influence of Karl Lagerfeld, to whom Anderson is often compared.
'It is a great honour to join the house of Dior as creative director of both women's and men's collections,' Anderson said in a statement. 'I have always been inspired by the rich history of this house, its depth, and empathy. I look forward to working alongside its legendary ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.'
The appointment follows an earlier announcement in April that Anderson would lead Dior's menswear. It also coincides with the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior's womenswear creative director, who concluded her tenure with a show in Rome last week. Dior confirmed the change on Instagram, noting that for the first time since Christian Dior, one creative director will oversee all collections.
To signal the transition, Dior will skip the upcoming haute couture shows in July—an unprecedented move in its 78-year history.
Anderson rose to prominence through his transformation of the Spanish label Loewe and high-profile designs for Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Harry Styles. His appointment reflects Dior's confidence in his vision and marks a shift toward a more unified and innovative approach under the LVMH umbrella.
Delphine Arnault said, 'I am convinced he will bring a creative and modern vision to our house, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior.'

Benny Blanco dreaming of kids with Selena Gomez amid health challenges
Music producer Benny Blanco has opened up about his desire to start a family with partner Selena Gomez, even as the couple keeps wedding plans private. In a recent InStyle interview, Blanco said he's 'dreaming and praying' about becoming a father. 'I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing,' he shared. Gomez has previously spoken candidly about her challenges with motherhood. In a Vanity Fair interview, she revealed she is unable to carry children due to medical complications stemming from lupus and bipolar disorder. Pregnancy could pose serious risks to her health and the baby's. 'That was something I had to grieve for a while,' she admitted. Still, Gomez remains determined to become a mother, considering adoption and surrogacy as meaningful alternatives. Her own mother was adopted, a fact she's called a 'blessing' in their family. Despite medical challenges, the couple is building a future together—starting with their $35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, which Blanco has been filling with 'creativity and heart.' 'I love making a house my own,' he said, emphasizing the importance of comfort and authenticity. Blanco also reflected on his emotional growth, shaped by his upbringing with a single mother. He credits her with helping him understand women's emotional needs. 'A woman will tell you exactly what she needs,' he noted, emphasizing the value of listening and mutual respect. Reflecting on past relationships, he added that learning through trial and error taught him what not to do—and ultimately led him to Gomez.

Fans are eager to follow this next chapter in the couple's life, and with their public persona and genuine chemistry, their story is set to inspire many.
