Breaking News: Chloe Malle Takes the Vogue Crown

Hold onto your designer shades, LA fam - the wait is over! After nearly four decades of Anna Wintour ruling the fashion roost at Vogue, she’s passing the torch to none other than Chloe Malle. Announced just over two months after Wintour revealed she’d step down as editor (don’t worry, she’s still the big boss as Condé Nast’s chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director), Chloe is now the Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue, effective right now.

This is huge for the fashion world, especially here on the West Coast where style is basically our second language. Whether you’re sipping lattes in West Hollywood or catching waves in Santa Monica, everyone’s buzzing about what this means for the iconic mag. Stick with us as we spill all the tea on Chloe Malle, the new queen of couture content.

From red carpet glam to magazine magic, this transition is pure Hollywood blockbuster material. Let’s dive into who Chloe is and why she’s got the industry hyped.

Anna and Chloe Drop the Mic with Epic Statements

Anna Wintour didn’t hold back when she introduced Chloe to the Vogue squad. Speaking to the team, she said it was all about finding the perfect fit to keep American Vogue at the top of the game while she focuses on global growth, Met Gala madness, and events like Vogue World. She’s confident Chloe’s the one to balance the mag’s legendary history with a bold, boundary-pushing future.

“Chloe’s been a secret weapon at Vogue for years, with a killer eye for fashion and a real understanding of how it shapes our lives - not just on the runway but in the streets of LA and beyond. I’m thrilled to mentor her and learn from her as she takes us to new heights,” Anna shared.

Chloe, 39, is just as pumped. She’s all about the fast-paced evolution of fashion and media, telling the team she’s thrilled (and a little starstruck) to lead during such a dynamic time. With Anna still just down the hall as her mentor, Chloe’s ready to shape Vogue as much as it’s shaped her - and we’re here for this SoCal summer energy she’s bringing to the table.

Chloe’s Fashion Journey: From Brown to Vogue Bigwig

Chloe Malle isn’t just a name dropped into the Vogue spotlight - she’s earned her stripes. A grad of Brown University with a background in literary arts and comparative literature, she kicked off her career at The New York Observer before landing at Vogue in 2011 as Social Editor. From there, she climbed the ranks, becoming a Contributing Editor from 2016 to 2023, penning features, running special projects, and even styling shoots as a sittings editor.

Before snagging the top gig as Editor-in-Chief, Chloe was already making waves as the editor and co-host of The Run-Through, Vogue’s weekly podcast diving into fashion and culture. Whether she’s brainstorming content or chatting trends, she’s been all over every platform - print, digital, audio, video, events, and social media. Talk about a multi-hyphenate with some serious LA hustle!

Her deep roots in the industry make her the perfect fit to steer Vogue into its next chapter. She’s got the creds, the vision, and a vibe that screams modern fashion mogul. We’re betting she’ll bring a little West Coast flair to every editorial spread.

Hollywood Royalty: Chloe’s Famous Family Ties

Now, let’s talk pedigree - Chloe’s got some serious Tinseltown DNA. She’s the daughter of the late French director Louis Malle, who sadly passed in 1995 at 63 after battling lymphoma, and the iconic Candice Bergen - yep, the actress who played Carrie Bradshaw’s Vogue editor on Sex and the City. Talk about life imitating art!

Chloe grew up splitting time between Los Angeles and New York City, soaking in the glitz of Beverly Hills and the grit of the Big Apple while her parents were married from 1980 until Louis’ passing. She’s upfront about her privilege, owning the ‘nepo baby’ label with pride in a chat with The New York Times, but she’s quick to add that it’s pushed her to grind even harder to prove she’s more than just Candice Bergen’s daughter.

That mix of Hollywood charm and hard-earned hustle is pure LA magic. Chloe’s not just riding on family fame - she’s carving her own path, and we’re obsessed with this Malibu-style drama unfolding at Vogue.

Behind the Scenes: Chloe’s Personal Life

On the personal front, Chloe’s been living her best life since tying the knot with Graham McGrath Albert in 2015. At the time, Graham was a senior vice president on the credit investment team at MatlinPatterson, a New York-based asset manager, according to The New York Times. They’ve built a sweet little family with two kiddos - son Louis, born in 2020, and daughter Alice, born in 2022.

Balancing a high-powered career at Vogue with mom life? That’s the kind of multitasking we respect out here in SoCal, where every day feels like a balancing act between beach days and boardroom deals. Chloe’s got that Cali cool, keeping her personal life grounded while taking on one of the biggest roles in fashion.

From her famous roots to her fresh vision for Vogue, Chloe Malle is the name on everyone’s lips right now. Keep your eyes peeled for how she’ll shake up the fashion world - we’re betting it’ll be as iconic as a sunset on the Pacific Coast Highway.
