Chloe Malle Steps Into Vogue’s Top Role After Anna Wintour
Big news has just come out of the fashion world, and it marks the end of an era. After nearly four decades at the helm of American Vogue, Dame Anna Wintour has officially stepped aside as editor-in-chief. In her place, the magazine has named Chloe Malle, a longtime Vogue insider, as its new head of editorial content.
Now, if the name sounds familiar, it should. Chloe Malle is the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and the late French film director Louis Malle. At 39, she’s carved out her own path in journalism and publishing, building a steady career inside Vogue over the last 14 years. She began as the magazine’s social editor in 2011, covering weddings, events, and society features. From there, she expanded into broader editorial roles, eventually becoming the editor of Vogue.com and co-hosting the magazine’s culture podcast, The Run Through .
This appointment is being seen as a fresh chapter for Vogue, which is often described as one of the most influential fashion publications in the world. Chloe herself has said that Vogue has already shaped who she is—and now she’s ready to help shape the future of the magazine. Her track record proves she’s more than prepared. She’s been behind some of Vogue’s most high-profile features, including coverage of Naomi Biden’s White House wedding and interviews with figures like Lauren Sanchez, ahead of her marriage to Jeff Bezos. She’s also known for expanding Vogue’s digital reach, launching popular online features, and finding new ways to engage audiences beyond the glossy pages of the magazine.

Of course, Anna Wintour isn’t vanishing completely. At 75, she remains Condé Nast’s chief content officer, overseeing not only Vogue but also other big titles like GQ and Wired . She’s keeping her office, her famous pottery collection, and a strong presence in the building. Wintour even emphasized that she’ll continue mentoring Chloe, saying she looks forward to being both a guide and, in some ways, a student under Malle’s leadership.
Chloe’s background makes her an interesting choice for this role. She grew up between Paris and Los Angeles, eventually studying at Brown University before moving into journalism. Before Vogue, she wrote for the New York Observer , The New York Times , and The Wall Street Journal . Despite not being a lifelong fashion obsessive, she has admitted that the energy of Vogue pulled her in and kept her there.
Industry watchers note that this transition won’t bring sweeping changes right away. Chloe Malle still reports to Anna Wintour, so the magazine’s voice and style won’t suddenly shift. But her appointment is being described as symbolic—a signal of continuity, but also of renewal. For readers and the industry, it means Vogue will continue balancing its legendary history with a drive to stay ahead of cultural and fashion trends.
So, while Anna Wintour’s reign as editor-in-chief has come to a close, the torch has been passed to someone who knows the Vogue world inside and out. Chloe Malle’s leadership could define what the next era of American Vogue looks like. And in an industry constantly reinventing itself, that makes this moment one to watch closely.
