Anna Wintour stepping back from Vogue editor-in-chief role after 37 years
Dame Anna Wintour made the announcement to staff that US Vogue would be hiring a new editor giving her more time to focus on Condé Nast's other titles. ITV News' Ian Woods reports
After 37 years as US Vogue editor-in-chief, Dame Anna Wintour is seeking a new head of the iconic fashion magazine, as she looks to free up time to focus on more of Condé Nast's publications.
Wintour will retain her roles as chief content officer for Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue, to whom the new head of editorial content will report.
It is understood the company will be replacing Wintour's editor-in-chief role with the new head of editorial content role, moving US Vogue in line with other global editions of the magazine which have similar structures.

As chief content officer, Wintour will continue to oversee every Condé Nast brand globally, including American Vogue, Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appétit, Tatler, World of Interiors, Allure and more, with the exception of The New Yorker.
Four years ago, the company changed its editorial structure, bringing together the editorial teams around the world for the first time.
Every market where Condé Nast operates has a head of editorial content led by a global editorial director. The new role at American Vogue is part of that reorganization. The new structure has already been rolled out at other Vogue titles around the world.
Whilst not quite a retirement announcement, the new opening signals a seismic shift for the fashion magazine as well as a coveted opening at the industry's most influential publication for aspiring fashion editors.
Two years ago, Chioma Nnadi became the first Black woman to lead British Vogue as she succeeded Edward Enninful's own history-making six-year run as the magazine's first Black editor-in-chief. Anna Wintour is thought to be one of the most influential women in publishing. / Credit: AP
Wintour transformed Vogue during her decades at the magazine. She was named creative director in 1983, served as editor-in-chief of British Vogue from 1985 to 1987 then rejoined the American title as editor-in-chief.
She modernised the magazine by featuring celebrities on its covers and mixing high fashion with more affordable street style.
She championed emerging designers, including Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, and broadened the brand's reach by adding new titles around the world.
Wintour also oversees the annual Met Gala, fashion's biggest night and a major fundraiser for the fashion wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She is also thought to have inspired the book, turned film, turned musical – 'The Devil Wears Prada,' which was written by her former assistant. Wintour previously played down similarities between herself and the titular character, saying it was up to audiences to draw their own conclusions.
Despite this, Wintour attended the film's premiere wearing Prada herself.

Anna Wintour has spent decades dictating a certain look for the super-rich. Then along came Lauren
How neat that Anna Wintour's resignation as editor-in-chief of American Vogue should occur bang in the middle of Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos's wedding extravaganza in Venice. Top takeout? Anna's revolution is over. She lost. Not personally, of course – she accrued significant riches herself, and her name is literally hewn into stone over a chunk of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Just don't call her Ozymandias! But the things she represented are over, and nothing illustrates it in quite such withering fashion as the gathering on the Grand Canal of Instagram's apex predators. Don't worry – this isn't going to be another article over-egging the fact that someone has unfurled some protest banner or something on a Venetian church. Very little needs refreshing quite as desperately as the eat-the-rich genre, which has started to feel even smugger than the super-rich themselves. I think we can all live without people who positively adored it when George and Amal Clooney took over Venice for their 2014 wedding now wetting their pants when the Bezos-Sánchezes do it. Besides, these days the super-rich behave more like revolutionaries than those supposedly committed to overthrowing them. Listen, I don't love the result – but you can't deny they've got on a lot better with ripping everything up than their opposition. Anyway: the revolutionary style. British Vogue recently declared that 'chic is dead' – a comment that would probably have had to have been approved up the food chain in New York by the famously controlling Wintour. And certainly, someone as – how to put this? – aesthetically sensitive as Anna might have found it difficult this week to watch a series of Kardashians tramp down a series of Venetian jetties in a series of $10,000 bras. And yet, in her twilight professional years – and make no mistake, we have been living through them – Wintour ended up courting all these figures. Kim Kardashian was eventually admitted to Wintour's Met Gala in tacit recognition of her then-unparalleled ability to create moments on the internet, a medium that had completely eaten magazines. Sánchez was 'helped' by Wintour with her outfit choice for her own Met debut, as well as given a Vogue photospread. All of that read like Wintour reluctantly having to attach herself to a type she'd spent such ferociously studious decades keeping out. They were the way the wind was blowing, and it was better to be borne along by it than blown into irrelevance. But that in itself was the writing on the wall: Wintour was no longer making the weather. It is said she 'advised' Sánchez in some capacity on her clothes for the current wedding celebrations. Maybe the only thing worse than helping Lauren with her outfits is not helping Lauren with her outfits. And yet, if the second Mrs Bezos wants the clothes, she just buys them. Quick word on the Sánchez aesthetic: you might have heard of trends such as stealth wealth, quiet luxury, whatever. Forget about those. Lauren wants to look really rich and really sexy and like she's having a really good time, all of the time. In Venice, in space, at the presidential inauguration. And if you're even remotely tempted to comment that, actually, you don't find that type of look sexy, then you've missed the absolutely key thing about Lauren Sánchez, and what makes her hilariously, invigoratingly iconoclastic in contrast with the billionaires' wives of yore. She literally does not care what anyone else thinks. Like, not at all. Sorry! Her entire look says, 'I am wearing this and I don't care what you think', whereas Wintour presided over a world where rich women's looks said, 'I am wearing this and I do care what you think.' Back in the day, someone passing from mere riches to mega-riches had a minefield to navigate, and knew it. The mines were mostly laid by women who'd got there about 10 minutes before them. Every single parvenue society queen felt this, and some even wrote it down. Barbara Amiel's memoir describes the milieu she moved into with her marriage to Conrad Black in excruciatingly absurd detail. Here she is, a billionaire's wife, yet gripped by constant social anxiety, forever agonising that she'd worn her best rocks to an event that actually called for 'patio jewellery' (necklaces $1m or under). She is constantly finding herself looking too much or too little. 'You don't wear white,' a caring society assassin tells her about the colour of her shoes. 'It's for sales girls.' As Amiel reflected: 'I was consumed by fear of not doing it right.' In order for there to be people worried about getting it wrong, there had to be people decreeing what was right. And for a very long time indeed, the empress of those people was Wintour. She was a rarefied being who knew better than you, who had the power to help or hinder your passage even further up society's Mount Olympus, and who acted as a trusted and feared gatekeeper to a world in which you were, in some ways, still the rube you started out as. Even figures as recent in the timeline as Kim Kardashian kept the old ways and bent the knee to Wintour, but maybe Kim was the last. Things go out of style – perhaps including style itself. Certainly capital-S style, as decreed by Wintour herself. If there's a fin-de-siècle vibe hanging over the Bezos wedding, it's Anna's siècle it's the fin of. The happy couple and their tribe have the distinct air of having only just got started. Marina Hyde is a Guardian columnist

I played golf with Tiger Woods but he was a ghost behind the scenes – his romance with Vanessa Trump surprised me
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIGER WOODS was a 'ghost' behind the scenes who never gave any clues about his wild lifestyle, according to a golfer who played with him. Two-time PGA Tour winner Brian Henninger also says he's surprised by Wood's blossoming romance with Vanessa Trump. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 11 Brian Henninger is shocked by Tiger Woods' new romance Credit: Getty 11 The golf legend is dating Vanessa Trump Credit: Getty 11 Woods went public with their relationship in March Credit: Social media - Refer to source 11 They currently live in southern Florida in Palm Beach Credit: Refer to Caption Henninger played with top stars including Woods, Phil Mickelson and Sir Nick Faldo. The American says Woods would cut an isolated figure among golfers and was so focused he could be intimidating. But Henninger, who also described Faldo as 'arrogant' and branded Jack Nicklaus a 'narcissist', said this attitude set him apart. Henninger told SunSport: 'Tiger Woods is not a person you're going to go and hang out with. 'He's not eating with you in the lunchroom. He's pleasant though. He'd say 'Hi Brian'. He knows a little bit about everybody, he does his research. 'I'll never forget the first time I met him. We were at the Western Open, we're in this fitness trailer, they were stretching us or something. 'He goes 'hey, I saw your Trojans got beat by Stanford the other night'. I mean, I've never met him. 'So I think he's one of those prepared guys in any situation. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 'Behind the scenes, he was a ghost to most of us. We didn't really know about his life off the course. We know what the media shared with us, but I didn't really know that lifestyle. 'He was a natural show off. He had so much popularity and it's incredible.

'But he didn't show signs on the golf course of being affected by any of it. 'Scottie Scheffler is coming along doing similar things. I don't know all the matrix behind it, but they are very close in terms of how many times they've won at a certain age and all the accomplishments. 'They can just turn it on and off. I mean, they get to the golf course and they're like different human beings." He added: 'Tiger could be intimidating to some extent. I played with him right at his peak in the early 2000s. 'It's so unique when you're with these people who are so different. They have skill sets beyond what you can kind of comprehend or define.' Woods was rocked by scandal in his prime, divorcing Swedish model Elin Nordegren in 2010 after allegations of multiple affairs. 11 Scottie Scheffler is the current world number one Credit: Getty 11 Henninger believes he is the best in the world Credit: Getty Then in 2017, Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving after he'd been found passed out in his car with prescription drugs and marijuana in his system. Now Woods is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr, son of sitting US President Donald Trump. And Henninger says he's surprised by the romance but can see how it unfolded. He said: 'I was surprised to see Tiger dating Vanessa Trump. Even though in today's world, nothing surprises me anymore. 'But he lives in Florida, so I'm sure he's interacting with Donald Trump, who owns a few golf courses down there and stuff. 'Nothing surprises me with Tiger. I just kind of wish I knew. I like the drama, share it with us!' Henninger believes Scottie Scheffler is currently the best golfer in the world. He sees traits in the American he also saw among the greats he played with. In June, Nicklaus candidly told Scheffler not to get carried away with his recent success. 11 He said: 'If he is thinking about being the best and starts believing he's the best, pretty soon he starts scratching his ears out here like this, and that's death. Once you start to get a big head and believe you're too good, then you will get beat.' But Henninger could understand the comments. He branded Scheffler and Nicklaus as 'narcissistic', but hailed the trait as something vital for their success. Henninger added: 'Scheffler is different. I almost feel like he's playing for a different purpose, and he seems really balanced with his family, which is really important to him. 'He's made so much money in recent years yet he seems to be doing it for this focus on the process and the competition, not for the money, even though that's the byproduct of playing really well. 'They threw him in jail in the middle of a tournament last year, then he came out and shot 65, who does that? 'So he's got the resilience it takes to be number one in the world and takes responsibility for it. 'It takes a narcissistic person and Nicklaus is that person too, by the way, I've spent a little bit of time around him. These guys have big egos.' 11 Henninger has called Jack Nicklaus 'narcissistic' Credit: Getty 11 He also labelled Sir Nick Faldo as arrogant Credit: Getty Another golfer who had a big ego was Faldo, Henninger says, who now works as a commentator in golf. Henninger says Faldo was arrogant and recalled a time he demanded changes to his parking space. He said: 'Faldo is one of them, he's from over there (arrogant). He's intense, a lot of us are pretty uptight. 'To be honest with you, Greg Norman was super uptight, to the extent you don't really want to be around those people. 'He's one of the greatest players that ever lived. He's a big guy, he was very mechanical, so he had a really pretty swing. It was very methodical. But an example of Faldo's arrogance was when we were playing in the senior players' championship in Philadelphia five or six years ago. 'Because he's close to my last name, like F and H are close, he's parked right next to me and when I pull up early in the week, it says Sir Nick Faldo on his little sign by his car. 'It only took about 24 hours and it said, Sir Nick Faldo. That tells you the whole story."

Inside Jake Paul's fight diet for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr fight with favourite dinner and cheat meal revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAKE PAUL has been training off a diet of tasty chicken and the occasional cheesecake in preparation to fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns to the ring on Saturday night against former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Jake Paul's fight camp diet has been revealed 5 Jake Paul returns against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr Credit: Getty He switched his training from his adopted home of Puerto Rico to Atlanta, Georgia where Paul recently purchased a £29million ranch. And with him all the way was personal chef Eric Triliegi - who has worked with the likes of Conor McGregor and Ryan Garcia in the past. Triliegi - an expert in helping fighters cut weight through nutrition - has the job of making sure Paul is fuelled for 12 weeks of training. He told SunSport: "For someone like Jake or an athlete it's actually very simple. READ MORE IN boxing HEART-JAKE Jake Paul vows to send Chavez into retirement and goads 'I'll be there for you' "We want to make sure he's getting enough carbohydrates so he has enough glycogen storage in his muscles to be able to perform. "We gotta make sure he has enough fat so we can give him some of that good fat energy as well and then he has to have the right amount of protein so we keep him lean. "When we do the water load, we like to have him have more muscle mass because water and muscle cell combine, water and fat don't combine. "So I like to make sure that he's lean with muscle, got enough muscle so when the water load happens, it's doing the right things." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 5 Paul's favourite fight camp meal is chicken marsala - an Italian-American dish made of shallots, garlic and a wine sauce. He has up to four meals a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks mixed in with smoothies between his sessions. Jake Paul vows to send Julio Cesar Chavez Jr into sad boxing retirement and goads 'I'll be there for you' And if Triliegi fancies treating Paul , he serves up a sweet treat - all still healthy, of course. He said: "Honestly, I'm not big on cheat meals but I will do a no-bake cheesecake, passion fruit cheesecake, things like that. "But I use all healthy ingredients." Paul's last fight was up at heavyweight in November when Mike Tyson controversially came out of retirement aged 58. He jumped up to 227lb (16st 2lb) before winning on points and now drops back down to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb. And Triliegi said: "The last fight camp for Tyson we were having over 3,400 calories a day - maybe a little bit more. "We were gaining weight, so it was a lot easier. Now with this, he came in camp light around 215, so the weight cut's been real easy, real simple." Triliegi has to make sure Paul's calories are reduced as the fight edges closer and the weigh-in approaches. But the chef - who brought out his own book called Fight Food - even tracks the boxer's SLEEP to help him shed the unwanted pounds Triliegi said: "I monitor everything, his sleep cycle, light, deep, in REM, his training, rest blocks. "If everything is going smoothly, he can eat the food that he wants, he can eat when he wants. "But we just monitor a little bit of the portion control. But other than that, we're monitoring sleep, making sure he doesn't eat too late. "If you eat too late when you go to bed instead of resting, you're digesting so it's taking away from the purpose of sleep so we pretty much keep track of everything." 5 Jake Paul's chef Eric Triliegi even lives with the boxer
