What could be the greatest thing to happen to U.S. diplomacy and the worst to Vogue? How about Anna Wintour for ambassador? “Anna Wintour is reportedly (again) up for an ambassadorship to the UK or France,” claims Fashionologie. Rumors of the nomination began circulating after Bloomberg pointed out that Wintour’s hefty contribution to the Obama campaign made her a top contender for either appointment. Before you digest all that, here is what #Twitterati is saying on the subject: “What a relief! Donald Trump thinks Anna Wintour is a ‘winner’ and would make a great ambassador.” (Fashionista). Others think Anna can do much better. “Why settle for being an ambassador? Oscar de la Renta thinks Anna Wintour should be Secretary of State!” (Fashionista). While The Devil Wears Prada inspiration has been an Obama supporter and endorser since forever, do you think she would trade her beloved Vogue for a diplomatic position? All remains to be seen and tweeted about.
