Anna Wintour has been pictured for the first time since the bombshell news she will be stepping down from one of her roles at Vogue after 37 years.
The style icon was spotted attending Marc Jacobs ' 2026 runway show at the New York Public Library on Monday - her first public appearance since the major shake-up.
Even after relinquishing one of her Vogue roles, Anna didn't let the career move impact her fashion sense as she sat front row, looking sophisticated and poised as usual.
She wore her trademark sunglasses along with a rose print white dress and colorful array of necklaces as she sat alongside other fashionistas.
The appearance comes several days after Wintour, 75, told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue.
She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report to her.
As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure - among others.
Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine.
She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today - a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally.
Chief executive of Conde Nast, Roger Lynch, told Wall Street Journal that it made sense for Wintour to step back from American Vogue so that she can focus on her other roles at the company, pointing out that she's been doing three jobs since 2020.
'This will enable her to make time for everyone who needs her,' he said.
Her shock decision has left the fashion world reeling, as there's not a clear replacement who can step into her designer shoes - and she has left quite big shoes to fill.
Fashion fans have taken to X (previously Twitter) to voice their shock, calling it the 'end of an era' and saying it's something they never thought they'd see, as she was tied so directly to the brand for so many years.
Wintour's first job was on the now defunct Harpers & Queen. Before Wintour took over at Vogue as the EIC she was its creative director in 1983.
She then went back home to British Vogue, where she served as EIC from 1985 to 1987, before rejoining American Vogue.
Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and more.
However, Wintour's time at Conde Nast has not been without controversy.
Most recently, she left Vanity Fair staff 'blindsided' over her surprising decision to appoint her daughter's friend to run the magazine.
She picked her daughter Bee Shaffer's close pal Mark Guiducci, 36, to run Vanity Fair following a high-profile search for the publication's next leader.
