During the interview, the British editor revealed the “deadly sin” she has committed regarding this year’s exhibition Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, which caused a bit of “confusion.”
“This exhibition broke my cardinal rule, Jenna, which is when we came up with the title Sleeping Beauties, it’s wonderful and poetic and romantic, but it could actually be many, many things.”
Notably, Anna joined forces with MET Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton to decide Garden of Time’s dress code.
“I’m afraid we’ve unleashed a lot of confusion out there, for which I deeply apologize, but I imagine we’ll see a lot of flowers,” he told Jenna.

On the subject of banning cellphone use at the gala, Wintour explained: “It’s often wonderful to hear after dinner people say, ‘Oh, we had some wonderful conversations…’.”
“And that’s the idea, that life can exist without a photo on your cell phone,” the star added.
Jenna also revealed Anna’s rather cryptic answer about whether Taylor Swift will be attending, although she is rumored not to due to time conflicts with her Eras Tour resuming in France on May 9.
“I also had to ask, because Mila Hager asked if Taylor would be there and she (Anna) said, ‘I hope she comes and enjoys the exhibit,'” he said, referring to his daughter.
