Latest Anna Wintour Rumor: She'll be an Ambassador
Well, here's a wild rumor that we'd love to be true: Anna Wintour might be in line to be an ambassador
to England or France.
If the extremely insider rumors are to be believed, could Anna Wintour, the first lady of American fashion, be in the running for an official post in the Obama administration--like, say, an ambassadorship to England or France? Granted, her resume lists all the qualifications--flawless organizational skills, an enviable Rolodex, hostessing experience to spare. (Think a State dinner is tricky to finagle? Then consider the Costume Institute gala.) Not to mention that the Vogue editor's faithful friends like Karl Lagerfeld will surely become fixtures at state dinners--lending a new layer of glitz and exclusivity to official affairs. Perhaps she'll meet with Carla Bruni-Sarkozy during couture?
We think Anna would be a fabulous ambassador. She is an American citizen, after all although she was born in England. Usually the ambassadorship to England is a plum appointment reserved for a really large donor to the new president. This rumor was debunked once before, but it's still fun to think about.
