Stylish Pics Of Candice Bergen's Daughter Chloe Malle That Prove She's The New Anna Wintour

When Chloe Malle was named successor to Anna Wintour, taking on the iconic editor-in-chief's role as head of editorial content for Vogue, the fashion media world turned on its head. At the time of Malle's promotion in September 2025, Wintour had been at the helm for almost 40 years. While Wintour would remain at Vogue publisher Condé Nast as the chief global content officer, it was still a massive shock to see her relinquish immediate control of American Vogue unprompted. However, Malle's elevation in status came as less of a surprise; given her mother Candice Bergen's modeling history, it's clear that Chloe Malle was destined to forge a career in fashion.

Though many online criticize Malle's low-key style, and Vogue insiders have allegedly expressed concern at her lack of new direction for the publication, others are excited to see how Vogue will progress under her leadership. Prior to her stepping into the new role, Malle was named the editor of Vogue.com in 2023; according to the publication itself, direct traffic to the Vogue website doubled, thanks to her leadership. If that alone doesn't prove that Malle is fit to be Wintour's successor, perhaps taking a closer look at the journalist's underrated wardrobe will. Netizens may have a lot to say about Malle's fashion sense, but we've picked a few of the outfits that best emphasize her style capability.

One of Chloe Malle's most timeless looks came from the morning of the Met Gala in May 2025. Malle, then the editor of Vogue.com, shared a series of photos from the chaotic day on Instagram, showcasing a chic black-and-white outfit. Employing one of the best ways to style tights, Malle paired black tights with a structured white blazer dress. This look oozes sophistication, being professional yet fashion-forward — perfect for Vogue's most important day of the year. 

Chloe Malle received a lot of online pushback for the mustard yellow Colleen Allen gown she wore to the 2026 Met Gala, her first as Vogue's head of editorial content. While the (largely inoffensive) dress was considered too plain for the event, we still adore how elegant Malle looked. Malle's Met Gala gown may have been a bit low-key, but it still worked for a professional attendee. After all, has Anna Wintour herself ever worn an over-the-top ensemble to the Met Gala? Definitely not.

Paris Fashion Week is one of the busiest times of the year for those who work in the fashion industry. As such, fashion editors like Chloe Malle have to be on their A-game as they flit from one show to the next. While at her first Paris Fashion Week as head of editorial content for Vogue in October 2025, Malle styled straight leg jeans in a minimalist way, pairing them with a blue button-down and a bright red jacket. The look proved that casualwear can be incredibly chic. 

A few weeks after Anna Wintour announced that Chloe Malle would take over as head of American Vogue, Malle posted a "late" carousel of pictures on Instagram from her appearances at New York Fashion Week (given the massive announcement that had just taken place, it's no surprise that she'd be a bit behind on updating social media). Malle wore a hot pink studded maxi dress to one evening event — while edgier than she usually opts for, we love to see Malle stepping outside her style comfort zone.

At a special screening of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" for Vogue's Book Club, Chloe Malle appeared looking more casual than ever — and we loved it. The Vogue editor-in-chief wore a breezy satin halter top and loose black trousers; while perhaps a bit understated, this outfit is effortlessly stylish and perfect for a movie event. As usual, Malle kept her glam incredibly simple and natural, showing that she is a pro at looking fresh-faced without makeup.

Chloe Malle looked like she'd stepped off the set of "Bridgerton" at the 2023 Met Gala. Malle wore a beautiful empire waist sequin gown decorated in flower-shaped crystal embellishments to the event, which was held that year in honor of late designer Karl Lagerfeld. She allowed the gown itself to take center stage by keeping the rest of her styling relatively simple; Malle opted for an elegant slicked-back bun, dangling crystal earrings, and natural-looking makeup.
