The 76-year-old stepped down from the magazine final June however nonetheless stays atop Condé Nast as its chief content material officer. And by no means has the icy Wintour seemed so playful.

Everyone’s having enjoyable!
Asked in regards to the artwork of energy dressing, Wintour name-checked Michelle Obama and Rama Duwaji.
“I’m full of admiration for New York City’s new first lady because she looks so cool and wears a lot of vintage — young and modern and also entirely herself,” stated Wintour.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has claimed his spouse, Rama Duwaji, is a “private person” after she got here below scrutiny for unsavory social media posts and for illustrating work by anti-Israel creator Susan Abulhawa. James Keivom
Of Melania, she provided this insight: “To be fair, Melania Trump also always looks like herself when she dresses.”
As against … another person?
It’s true that Duwaji does have a distinctive personal fashion, from the daring silhouettes of her classic garments to her shaggy, cropped bob.
It’s additionally true that she has a dodgy, pro-terrorist historical past.
Duwaji preferred a post that known as the atrocity of Oct. 7 a “mass rape hoax” that was “fabricated” by the New York Times (regardless of Hamas broadcasting all of the violence and carnage like a snuff reel). Old posts show she railed in opposition to US troopers, praised a Palestinian terrorist, mourned the death of a Hamas propagandist — and dropped an N-bomb and a homosexual slur for good measure.

It all makes the praise by Wintour — who pretends to preside over good liberal values of decency and kindness — really feel so tone deaf. So stuffed with hypocrisy.
Let’s be frank right here. Wintour doesn’t solely care about great personal fashion. She sees somebody’s suitability for protection and praise solely via a political spectrum.
And in Wintour’s world, the Dem label is at all times trés stylish — even with the phrase “socialist” connected.
Republican? Perpetually an unredeemable fake pas. Suitable just for the dumpster pile.
But hey, overlook about all that rape denial. Did you see Duwaji’s classic boots?

Unlike most political spouses, Duwaji enjoys cowl due to supplicant press and her husband, Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who’ve bubble wrapped her with the label “private person.”
Therefore, her illustration that accompanied a 2026 essay by virulent antisemite and anti-Israel author Susan Abulhawa isn’t up for public scrutiny. Nor is her social media historical past. Who stated Vogue was a feminist publication, anyway?
In 2022, Wintour took a stand in opposition to her one-time favourite Kanye West after he unleashed some very ugly sentiments in opposition to Jewish people and wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt.
“Anna has had enough,” an insider instructed Page Six on the time. “She has made it very clear inside Vogue that Kanye is no longer part of the inner circle.”
But in relation to Duwaji, Wintour is barely simply warming up — maybe buttering up the primary woman for a dazzling look on the upcoming Met Gala.
Vogue has at all times been a functioning propaganda arm of the DNC, often fawning over Dem politicians and first women.
Just ask Gavin Newsom, who was profiled by the magazine in February. The creator couldn’t even wait till the second line to stroke him. No editorial foreplay in any respect: “Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome.”

However, it’s simple that the occasion is struggling to seek out its id, so Condé Nast, which continues to be below Wintour’s watchful eye, has cozied up to the America-hating far left.
In a 2025 profile of streamer and famous Hezbollah fan Hasan Piker, GQ identified that he’d stated “America deserved 9/11” — then the Condé publication described it as “one of his most infamous wisecracks.”
What a wisenheimer, that man.
GQ has twice featured DSA City Councilman Chi Ossi as a model. And the lately shuttered Teen Vogue offered manifestos on how to begin a revolution and how to have anal intercourse — two optimum guides for teenagers.
But keep in mind, there was reportedly a employees walkout when new Vanity Fair editor Mark Guiducci advised a Melania cowl.
Condé Nasties can declare to operate from a place of righteousness — however we all know it’s outlined by an elitist progressive bubble.
And Wintour can praise Duwaji’s fashion all she needs, however she can not faux to be the arbiter of decency and morality. She is a partisan opportunist.
