The Run-Through with Vogue

Candice Bergen is no stranger to Vogue. She first graced the cover in 1967, she played a Vogue editor Enid Frick in Sex and The City and now with her daughter Chloe Malle is the Head of Editorial Content for American Vogue. 
“You're doing so well,” Bergen tells Malle. “You know, Enid was really fun to play and she was a little frosty and aloof. You don't have that at all. Thank God.”
To celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, Malle brought her mother to work to reflect on her life and motherhood on The Run-Through podcast. 
“I loved going to the Murphy [Brown] set when I was little,” says Malle. Malle grew up as her mother played the titular character in the hit sitcom Murphy Brown. But despite her busy schedule, Bergen did her best to carve out family time.
“We were a very successful show … and Warner Brothers was resting on our laurels at the moment. So, I took full advantage,” says Bergen. 
“It was certainly demanding to do a show and be the kind of present parent that I wanted to be…But look at you!” Bergen says with pride. “ I felt that I was present in ways that mattered and on a continuous basis.” 
Bergen turns 80 this year, and while a celebration is on the horizon. She says the biggest gift that she has received in her life is her grandchildren. 
“That was your biggest gift,” Bergen tells her daughter. “I just love those two kids. I love them to death and they are so different from one another and so filled with life and love … I love getting to re-experience the joys of all that.”
Also on the episode, Chloe gathers with Marley and Taylor in the studio to recap what was happening in the underbelly of the Met during the gala. Writers and editors were typing with unparalleled fervor, fueled by pizza, cookies, and Bon Bon candies. They also took a look ahead at summer culture with the Tony nominations out earlier this week and the Cannes Film Festival just around the corner. Freaky films are on the horizon and our editors are betting on Kristen Stewart to rock the deviant Chanel no-shoe shoe on the Cannes carpet.

Chase Sui Wonders attended her first-ever Met Gala in a lilac Alexander McQueen gown inspired by ancient Roman wall murals she encountered on a trip to Pompeii. Her “Fashion is Art” look was layered with Tiffany jewels she says cost more than her life and a bodysuit underneath to keep the entirely sheer skirt camera-appropriate. 
The evening's highlights were countless. Emily Blunt freed her from a hedge after her dress got caught.. A bathroom visit resulted in an encounter with Tessa Thompson, who was loudly ripping off her synthetic nails and throwing them in the trash. On the dance floor during Stevie Nicks's surprise performance, Sui Wonders caught up with A$AP Rocky, a recent collaborator, who then stepped on the train of her dress. 
Hosts Chloe Malle and Chioma Nnadi brought their own reports from the night. Nnadi sat beside Margiela creative director Glenn Martens, who was fielding a steady stream of Rihanna fitting updates on his phone. Malle wore a persimmon gown by young American designer Colleen Allen, loosely inspired by Frederic Leighton's Flaming June. All three agreed: first stop after the gala, the GQ party; second stop, wherever the night leads.

The countdown to the 2026 Met Gala has begun and the momentous occasion means that Voguers from far and wide are flying into New York City, including none other than our very own Chioma Nnadi. Reunited at last, Chioma, Chloe, and Nicole gathered in the studio—on the same day as another royal’s visit to the World Trade Center—and caught up.
Earlier this week, Vogue hosted its second Book Club gathering at Metrograph; a celebration of reading Lauren Weisberger’s The Devil Wears Prada accompanied by a screening of the sequel which comes to theaters on May 1. After the film wrapped, Chloe invited Vogue alumni Kate Young and Billy Norwich to join her on stage for a live podcast taping. 
Kate, who started as Anna’s assistant in the late nineties and Billy, who was then a writer and editor at Vogue, shared memories and spoke about their initial reactions to the book and movie when they first came out. Billy actually accompanied Anna to the 2006 premiere at the Paris Theater and told Chloe that she wanted to wear Prada because “that was her intense humor.” He also spoke about the test he created with the late Charles Gandee which went viral last year when the New York Times published a multiple choice interactive version titled “Could You Have Landed A Job At Vogue in the ‘90s?”
Not all of the reminiscing was so rose-colored. Kate recalled feeling hurt after she read the galley. “At the time she was just making fun of us.” As for Billy, his pet peeve was that “every time I’d get on an airplane that’s what was playing. So I couldn’t escape it.” 
The podcast trio also discussed the age-old question which surfaced in light of this week’s Chanel show: what is cruise or resort season in the fashion world? Despite many attempts to answer this conundrum, year after year someone always needs a refresher. Nicole’s simplest explanation: “cruise is this in-between season, between fall and spring.” The show itself also had the whole office, and broader fashion community, talking particularly about the pair of not-shoe shoes that several models sported on the runway. This near-naked foot look is certainly not practical, but perhaps it’ll be making its way onto red carpets in the future. 
Chioma also brought up the big news that Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles, after a relatively brief courtship, are engaged. The rock is nothing to scoff at! And in other news, ahead of the first Monday in May, Vogue Cafe is popping up in NYC this weekend on Saturday and Sunday at Altro Paradiso. Get your tickets in the Vogue app—we’ll see you there.

The truth is finally revealed! After 20+ years, stylist Leslie Fremar has gone on record to say that she is the inspiration behind Emily from The Devil Wears Prada. Back in 1999, she was the one who hired writer Lauren Weisberger to be Anna Wintour's assistant and she even remembers being the one to say "a million girls would kill for this job". 
On this episode of The Run-Through with Vogue, hear Leslie tell the story of how she became first assistant to Anna Wintour after first saying no, the real story behind the Harry Potter manuscript, and whether or not she's spoken to Lauren Weisberger all these years later.

One of the first things costume designer Molly Rogers thought about after she finished reading the script for the Devil Wears Prada 2: Where was Andy’s blue cerulean sweater?
“It was the first phone call I made to the archives out at the studio,” says Rogers, who spoke to Alice Newbold, Fashion Features & News Director, British Vogue. 
“Stuff disappears. You finish a movie, all of the clothes go to the lot where other productions can rent them.” says Rogers. But she was able to secure the original sweater, “and it still had the corn chowder stain on it.”
Rogers says it was Anne Hathaway who grabbed the scissors and made the alterations to turn the beloved sweater into a vest. 
Rogers shares all the secrets behind the film's biggest fashion moments, including those rock stud pumps. Plus, Chloe and Nicole talk Met Gala prep, the new Victoria Beckham and Gap collaboration, and Cecilie Bahnsen's Uniqlo collab.
