EXCLUSIVE: VOGUE SUCCESSION PLAN BACKFIRES — ‘NEPO BABY’ CHLOE MALLE UNDER FIRE
Anna Wintour’s rumored pick to eventually succeed her — Chloe Malle — is already sparking fashion-world fury.
Malle, daughter of actress Candice Bergen and late French director Louis Malle, is reportedly in talks to become Vogue’s head of editorial content. But fashion insiders say the choice reeks of “privilege over merit.”
“She’s a nepo baby being handed the keys to the most powerful job in fashion,” one source tells #ShuterScoop. “She’s never run a brand or helmed a major magazine.”
Others slam the optics: “Another white editor in 2025? After all the diversity pledges, this feels tone-deaf.”
Supporters praise her work at Vogue.com, but critics insist running a website isn’t the same as steering a global fashion empire. “This is about cultural leadership,” warns one veteran.
If appointed, Malle will still report to Wintour — who remains global editorial director and Met Gala gatekeeper — but her coronation could be anything but smooth.
EXCLUSIVE: PALACE FURIOUS OVER “FERGIE” SHOE STUNT — ‘DISRESPECT TO THE QUEEN’
Sarah Ferguson has kicked up fresh royal outrage — literally — after being spotted in shoes embroidered with the late Queen Elizabeth II’s famous motto: “Never complain, never explain.”
Palace aides aren’t amused. “It’s cheeky at best, deeply disrespectful at worst,” a royal insider hisses to #ShuterScoop. “Her Majesty lived that phrase with dignity. Fergie and Andrew’s track record? Not exactly in the same league.”
Critics call the stunt tone-deaf given Fergie’s past money scandals and unwavering loyalty to Prince Andrew despite his notorious controversies. “It’s almost mocking the Queen’s legacy,” fumes another source.
Royal commentator Joan Berg says Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie shouldn’t be “tarred and feathered” over their parents’ drama, but the mood inside the palace is frosty. “This was a silly, unnecessary stunt,” one aide sighs. “And the timing? Couldn’t be worse.”
EXCLUSIVE: BROOKLYN BECKHAM ‘ADOPTED’ BY WIFE’S FAMILY — PELTZ CLAN FRONT AND CENTER AS BECKHAMS SKIP VOW RENEWAL
Brooklyn Beckham’s vow renewal to Nicola Peltz looked less like a Beckham bash — and more like a full-on Peltz production.
The lavish Florida affair took place at the Peltz family estate, with Nicola wearing a reimagined version of her mother Claudia’s 1985 wedding gown, romantic sleeves intact, now topped with a modern corset. Her billionaire father Nelson Peltz officiated, siblings stood proudly at her side — and the Beckham family? Nowhere to be seen.
“Nicola planned every detail herself,” an insider dishes. “Brooklyn’s been fully embraced by the Peltzes — they make sure he knows she’s the star.”
The Beckham clan’s Italian holiday instead of attendance is fueling fresh feud whispers. Even the afterparty screamed Nicola: she slipped into a sheer vintage Dolce & Gabbana gown with silk butterflies and danced the night away — without a Beckham in sight.
SANDRA BULLOCK SAYS HOLLYWOOD WARNED HER NOT TO ‘LIKE’ JENNIFER ANISTON
Sandra Bullock is revealing the bizarre reason she didn’t become besties with Jennifer Aniston until decades after they first met — Hollywood told her not to.
In a candid Vanity Fair interview, Bullock, 61, says in the ‘90s, “We were told we weren’t supposed to do that — meaning like, respect, and honor each other.”
The gossip mill went into overdrive when both women dated actor Tate Donovan — Bullock from 1990–1995, Aniston from 1995–1998 during Friends. For years, they kept their distance.
Then a 2010 wedding changed everything. Over drinks, they discovered shared passions for design, travel, and a fear of flying. Now they’re inseparable — Aniston once calmed Bullock mid-flight, holding her hand and saying, “This is just a bump.”
“That’s the world we came up in,” Bullock says. “Where women were competition, not companions.” Now? They’re rewriting the script — together.
