Fashion just lost its queen bee — Anna Wintour is stepping down from ‘American Vogue,’ ending her legendary era with a clap heard around the runways of the world.
The 75-year-old dropped the bombshell in a staff meeting Thursday — revealing she’s on the hunt for a new head of editorial content at the fashion bible.

Anna’s reportedly not ditching the fashion world completely — she’s still sticking around as Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s chief content officer … overseeing heavyweight magazine titles like Vanity Fair, GQ, Architectural Digest, Glamour, and more.
The media powerhouse took the reins at Vogue in 1988 after a few years at ‘British Vogue’ — and completely rewrote the rules, turning the mag (and fashion media) into the juggernaut it is today.
Anna also became a pop culture fixture herself. Known for her icy, no-nonsense vibe, she sparked endless curiosity about her life and career … especially after “The Devil Wears Prada” film dropped, loosely based on her ex-assistant’s tell-all.
No word yet on who’ll fill her stilettos … ’cause that’s one big role to step into — hope they’ve got arch support!
