As all eyes turn to the street style elite to see their
eccentric
fashion week wares, there’s another fashion force whose
style, albeit more understated, we never fail to be impressed by:
Anna
Wintour. Far from being a slave to the trends, the editor in
chief of Vogue U.S. —a position she’s held since 1988—is known
for her classic style. Printed dresses with coordinating coats are
considered her uniform, as is her signature sleek bob and, of
course, those Chanel sunglasses. It’s a look that’s served her
well for over 20 years, and one we’ve come to expect throughout
the course of fashion month.

At every single show, there’s a front-row seat specifically
reserved for Anna in the mere hope she’ll make an appearance.
And when she does, which to her credit is very frequently, we can
count on her to look impossibly chic and ladylike. Needless to say,
her decades of fashion week dedication shouldn’t go unnoticed,
which is why we’ve decided to document her best-ever front-row
looks, from the first snapped sighting of her sitting pride of
place in 1994, all the way up to, well, yesterday. You know what to
do—keep scrolling to see Anna Wintour’s fashion week
outfits.

Style
Notes: You’re going to hear a lot of talk about printed dresses,
cross-strap sandals, and layered necklaces in this article. And,
true to form, that’s exactly what Anna chose to don to New York
Fashion Week in September 2019. 

Style
Notes: Anna masterfully coordinates the color of the gemstones in
her necklace to that of her dress. 

Style
Notes: It takes guts to clash geometric and snake prints, but for
Anna, it’s a breeze. 

Style
Notes: Taking to the streets of Paris in February 2019 wearing a
bottle-green leather coat, which enhances the vivid green in her
dress beautifully. 

Style
Notes: Snake isn’t the only animal motif in Anna’s wardrobe
repertoire. She’s also a big fan of faux-leopard and fawn
prints. 

Style
Notes: Leopard and snake prints in the same ensemble? And it works?
Now you’re just showing off, Anna.

Style
Notes: Even Anna couldn’t resist grabbing a scarf as she dashed out
the door on a chilly day during New York Fashion Week in February
2019. 

Style
Notes: Chanel bouclé twin sets were practically created for the
EIC…

Style
Notes: Anna is a big fan of colored leather, as her burgundy boots
and coat prove. They make for the perfect accompaniment to her bold
dress, which she donned during Paris Fashion Week in September
2019. But, of course, she already knew that.

Style
Notes: Yes, Anna does rewear her clothes and shoes. Case in point?
The previous slide. 

Style
Notes: And again, only this time she’s paired them with a graphic,
’60s-style floral print dress. Parfait.

Style
Notes: Anna seamlessly blends her striped and zebra pieces by
sticking to a similar color palette. We love the clash of her
yellow shoes against the classic white and navy. 

Style
Notes: Anna defaults back to a floral and snake-print combination
during New York Fashion Week in September 2018. Well, if it ain’t
broke…

Style
Notes: Anna, we’ll gladly take this checked trench off your
hands.

Style
Notes: The check-and–floral-print mix-up we regularly come to
rely on was practically invented by Anna.

Style
Notes: We don’t know what we love more—Anna’s toffee-hued boots,
or the mirror-print dress she wore to attend the Richard Quinn show
during London Fashion Week in February 2018. 

Style
Notes: This neckline is beyond gorgeous.

Style
Notes: It’s evident that evergreen is one of Anna’s favourite
shades to wear, as is tan and burgundy. 

Style
Notes: Tie-dye and tartan is a print clash we never thought out
trying for ourselves… until now that is. 

Style
Notes: We’re still weeping over not getting our hands on this
beautiful embroidered Stella McCartney coat, which Anna wore to
take in the designer’s Paris Fashion Week show in March 2016. 

Style
Notes: Military coats never fail to look chic. Anna knows this all
too well. 

Style
Notes: The color combination of poppy red and denim blue couldn’t
be more beautiful. This look from Lanvin’s Paris Fashion Week
September 2014 show is one of our all-time Anna favorites. 

Style
Notes: Stripes and stripes are foolproof. Fact. 

Style
Notes: Anna often relies on Altuzarra to outfit her fashion week
wardrobe—and here she is wearing a printed shirtdress by the
designer at New York Fashion Week in September 2012. 

Style
Notes: Anna wears a statement coat with leather knee-high boots
ahead of Louis Vuitton’s September 2012 Paris Fashion Week
show. 

Style
Notes: Animal print and bows? Anna pulls out all the stops for her
appearance at the Giorgio Armani Milan Fashion Week show in
September 2009. 

Style
Notes: Anna was wearing slip skirts well before they took off in
2019—during Rag & Bone’s New York Fashion Week show in
September 2009, to be precise. 

Style
Notes: Anna knows you can never go wrong with a white shirt, midi
skirt and a Starbucks. 

Style
Notes: With empty rows behind her, Anna takes a moment to kick
back ahead of Rag & Bone’s September 2005 catwalk show. 

Style
Notes: The jumper, the skirt, the sandals… Anna’s 2003 New York
Fashion Week look is one we’d gladly wear today. 

Style
Notes: Anna in jeans? Much like the rest of us, the Western trend
serves as Anna’s guilty pleasure. This look, which she wore to Sean
John’s New York Fashion Week show in 2003, is one of her best.

Style
Notes: Anna arrives at Diane von Furstenberg’s 2002 catwalk show in
NYC in a very on-trend all-white outfit. 

Style
Notes: Anna’s love of faux fur goes all the way back to 2001, when
she wore head-to-toe Carolina Herrera to the designer’s New York
Fashion Week show. 

Style
Notes: The first documented photograph of Anna at a fashion week
show (that we could track down, at least) is from 1994, where her
blouse was as shiny as her hair. Perfection.
