Anna Wintour has reportedly decided who will take the helm as the new head of editorial content at Vogue – and it’s supposedly Chloe Malle.
According to a new report published Monday by Puck News, Wintour is set to make the announcement as early as Tuesday.
Currently, Malle, who is the daughter of Candice Bergen and the late director Louis Malle, is the head of Vogue.com.
A graduate of Brown University, she first joined Vogue in 2011 and has steadily risen through the ranks.
In 2023, she was named an editor at the magazine, and she also co-hosts The Run-Through with Vogue podcast.
Her editorial portfolio includes high-profile interviews with a range of public figures.
She spoke with Lauren Sanchez, 55, for the magazine’s cover story earlier this year, having previously interviewed her in 2023.
She has also profiled Fran Lebowitz, Jenna Lyons, Fran Drescher, and Margot Robbie, among others.

However, according to Puck, Malle wasn’t the only name that was being tossed out there.
Other potential candidates included W Magazine editor Sara Moonves, Stella Bugbee, editor of the Styles section at The New York Times, and Nicole Phelps, who runs both Vogue Business and Vogue Runway.
But per Puck, choosing Malle is ‘the path of least resistance.’
In response to a request for comment from the Daily Mail, reps for Condé Nast declined to confirm or deny the reports about Malle.
The pick comes just a few months after Wintour announced in June that she would be stepping down from her longstanding role as head of editorial content at the famed fashion magazine.
Wintour will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report to her.
As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure – among others.
Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine.

Wintour’s first job was on the now defunct Harpers & Queen. Before Wintour took over at Vogue as the EIC she was its creative director in 1983
She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today – a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally.
Chief executive of Conde Nast, Roger Lynch, told Wall Street Journal at the time that it made sense for Wintour to step back from American Vogue so that she can focus on her other roles at the company, pointing out that she’s been doing three jobs since 2020.
‘This will enable her to make time for everyone who needs her,’ he said.
Wintour’s first job was on the now defunct Harpers & Queen. Before Wintour took over at Vogue as the EIC she was its creative director in 1983.
She then went back home to British Vogue, where she served as EIC from 1985 to 1987, before rejoining American Vogue.
Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers like Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, and more.
However, Wintour’s time at Conde Nast has not been without controversy.
Most recently, she left Vanity Fair staff ‘blindsided’ over her surprising decision to appoint her daughter’s friend to run the magazine.
She picked her daughter Bee Shaffer’s close pal Mark Guiducci, 36, to run Vanity Fair following a high-profile search for the publication’s next leader.
