Vogue’s Anna Wintour made a dame by Queen Elizabeth II
LONDON — Britain’s monarch has met a queen of the fashion world, as Vogue editor Anna Wintour was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
Wintour was made a dame — female equivalent of a knight — for services to fashion and journalism in a Buckingham Palace ceremony on Friday.
The U.K.-born editor arrived wearing her ever-present sunglasses, but removed them before entering the palace ballroom.
She said afterward that the queen had struggled to find a place to pin the insignia on Wintour’s pink belted Chanel outfit.
