Before appearing on the cover of Vogue in 1998, the mag’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, “suggested” to Oprah Winfrey that she drop a few pounds!!
“It was a very gentle suggestion,” Wintour tried to sugarcoat the advice during her 60 Minutes interview on Sunday. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”
You don’t say?!
Anna continued, “I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”
Did the Big O lose her shiz at the famously blunt editor-in-chief???
Hardly!
“She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet. And it was one of our most successful covers ever,” Wintour exposed.
Not surprising!
When the HBIC of Vogue tells you to jump, you ask how high!
