BREAKING NEWS: DON’T BE FOOLED — ANNA WINTOUR IS STILL VERY MUCH IN CHARGE

After 37 years atop American Vogue, Wintour ditches the title — not the throne. She’ll handpick her successor and continue ruling Condé Nast from above.

BREAKING NEWS: ANNA WINTOUR STEPS DOWN — BUT STILL HOLDS THE POWER

Stepping down? More like stepping sideways.

After 37 years as editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour is relinquishing the title — but don’t believe the headlines suggesting she’s riding off into retirement. Multiple sources tell #ShuterScoop the queen of Condé Nast is still ruling the castle.

Wintour will continue in her real power roles: global chief content officer of Condé Nast and global editorial director of Vogue. Translation? Every editor from GQ to Vanity Fair still reports up the chain — to her.

“This isn’t a departure. It’s a succession drill,” sniffs one longtime insider. “Anna’s just trading a front-facing title for a more imperial one. She’s not leaving. She’s elevating.”

Sources say Wintour will personally oversee the search for her Vogue successor — someone who’s loyal to her. “She’s not going to hand the crown to anyone who doesn’t kiss the ring,” one former editor scoffs.

And while the media are mourning the end of an era, insiders insist the era isn’t over — it’s just entering its next, more quietly controlled phase.

Bottom line: Anna Wintour may be leaving the corner office at Vogue, but make no mistake — she’s still the one calling the shots at Condé Nast. And if you think this move means Met Gala invites will be easier to come by… think again.
