Anna Wintour on David Letterman

If you didn’t have the opportunity to see Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue on the Late Show with David Letterman last night, take a moment to watch the clip above.

A few of my observations during Wintour’s interview:

  • At 12:10 a.m. she walked onto set wearing her trade mark sunglasses. Momentarily I thought, “Is she going to do the interview with her sunglasses on?” Then she took them off a few seconds later. Thank god!
  • Wintour didn’t look very pleased when Letterman brought up the film The Devil Wear Prada and implied there was some truth based in its interpretation of her as a  ****  (uncuddly person). Hmm… I wonder why?
  • Her answers were definitely scripted and sounded robotic. I’m sure somewhere backstage her publicist was extremely nervous twisting his/her fingers praying for it to go smoothly.
  • Wintour’s personality came across as flat and awkward.
  • Did you notice the tiny white microphone to match her dress? I did.

Favourite quote by Wintour: “Vogue is not only run by senior citizens.” HA!
