Chloe Malle Named Head of U.S. Vogue Succeeding Anna Wintour

Chloe Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and director Louis Malle, has been named the new head of editorial content for Vogue's U.S. edition, succeeding Anna Wintour after nearly four decades. Malle, who joined Vogue in 2011 and has been editor of Vogue.com since 2023, embraces her status as a 'proud nepo baby' but stresses that it has driven her to work harder to prove herself beyond her family's legacy. Anna Wintour has stepped down as editor-in-chief but remains chief content officer for Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue, continuing to mentor Malle. Malle's appointment marks a generational shift for Vogue, with her overseeing day-to-day operations while Wintour retains an influential global role. The selection process was competitive, with Malle chosen over other candidates for being a practical and reasonable choice familiar with the company and its evolving media landscape. Despite questions about how much independence Malle will have, she is recognized for her original thinking, hard work, and ability to balance fashion's tradition with modern cultural shifts.
