"She has bad taste." Anna Wintour helps Lauren Sanchez choose a dress at the Met Gala

"She has bad taste." Anna Wintour helps Lauren Sanchez choose a dress at the Met Gala

Anna Wintour invited billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez to the Met Gala, which will take place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 6. Vogue editor-in-chief and Bala's curator will choose an outfit for the businessman's 54-year-old lover, fashion journalist Amy Odell reports.

"Anna Wintour is personally helping Sanchez with her dress selection," insider Odell said, adding that "she's choosing between Oscar de la Renta and two other designers."

Wintour rarely advises guests on looks for the annual Costume Institute Ball, which she has chaired since 1995, but she knows that “Sanchez has bad taste,” so she makes an exception for her.

For Lauren Sanchez, attending the Met Gala will be her debut and something of a privilege. According to Amy Odell, who, by the way, is the author of the best-selling book about Anna Wintour "Anna", this will give Bezos' fiancée a legitimacy in the fashion world that she has not yet achieved and will add to the hype around the event. It will also show how the editor-in-chief of Vogue maintains and increases his power - by attracting certain people into his circle.

The traditional Met Gala with the theme "Sleeping Beauties: The Awakening of Fashion" will be held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 6.
