Anna Wintour never rests.
On Monday night, the fashion legend made her first public appearance since stepping down as Vogue’s editor-in-chief Thursday, sitting front row at Marc Jacobs’ fall 2025 show in New York City.
True to form, Wintour exuded glamour in a long-sleeved floral top and matching skirt.
Wintour spiced up the polished ensemble with three of her go-to colorful gem necklaces and sunny yellow sandals.
Naturally, she sported her signature bob and black sunglasses, finishing the look with subtle makeup.
The former Vogue EIC was spotted strolling into the New York Public Library alongside Michael Ariano, Marc Jacobs’ publicist.
In the front row, Wintour was joined by models Bijou Phillips and Valentina Ferrer, socialite Nicky Hilton and Jacobs’ husband, Char Defrancesco.
Wintour sent the internet into a full-blown frenzy last Thursday when she shared she’d be leaving her role as EIC after nearly four decades at the helm of the fashion bible.
According to Vogue, whoever fills the position of American Vogue’s new head of editorial content will “lead the magazine’s daily operations across platforms.”
Though she may no longer be serving as editor-in-chief, Wintour will continue to act as chief content officer for Condé Nast and Vogue’s global editorial director.
Per the article, Wintour told staff that the majority of her responsibilities will be the same as before, “including paying very close attention to the fashion industry and to the creative cultural force that is our extraordinary Met Ball, and charting the course of future Vogue Worlds, and any other original fearless ideas we may come up with…and it goes without saying that I plan to remain Vogue’s tennis and theater editor in perpetuity.”
It’s fitting that Wintour chose Jacobs’ show as her first public outing, as their relationship runs deep.
Last fall, she tapped the namesake designer to be the first US Vogue guest editor for its December 2024 issue amid the presidential election, seeking a fresh perspective on the magazine.
“I thought, It’s going to be a very emotional time,” Wintour told the New York Times, referring to the election. “I think we should all take a step back.”
Seems Jacobs was the perfect person for the job.
