Anna Wintour Hosts Fundraiser With First Lady Jill Biden

U.S. first lady Jill Biden speaks during an event about cybersecurity in schools in the East Room of the White House Tuesday in Washington, DC.While White House staffers and East Wing-ers were busy polishing up the preparations for Wednesday’s state dinner in honor of Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese, the first lady flew to the Big Apple for what amounted to a five-hour stay and two fundraisers.

For the occasion, Biden changed out of the white dress that she had worn upon departure from Joint Base Andrews Monday afternoon into a black dress. The somber color choice was echoed by Wintour, who was also uncharacteristically dressed in black. The event took place as the Israel-Hamas war continues, and shortly after Wintour’s first husband died.

Biden, who like previous first ladies has appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine , delivered a 13-minute speech. She told Wintour that she has “single-handedly — and I think probably everybody here would agree — transformed the fashion industry.” Some might suggest that international job creators like Kors and Burch have done their part too, through their massive built-from-scratch businesses.
