Anna Wintour stepped down from her role just days before the cover release.
Following the lavish Bezos wedding, Vogue revealed the June 2025 digital cover star – Mrs. Lauren Sánchez Bezos in her custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown just after she became a wife.
Even though Sánchez landed the magazine's digital cover and married a multi-billionaire, that doesn't mean Wintour's a fan of her style.
Last year, as Sánchez was set to make her Met Gala debut, insiders claimed the fashion editor insisted Bezos' wife could only come to the ball if Wintour had a say in what she decided to wear for the event.
A source told Wintour's biographer Amy Odell the famous editor believes Sanchez has "poor taste" and so was personally helping her select a dress to wear to fashion's biggest night of the year.
Odell claimed Wintour was working with Sánchez to choose between custom designs and wrote: "Anna doesn't always get personally involved in what guests wear."
Anna's Reason For Leaving?
Anna Wintour stepped down days before the cover.
After the big digital magazine cover was revealed following the $50million lavish event in Italy, it received a massive amount of criticism on Instagram.
Social media users were even left speculating if the digital cover was a reason editor-in-chief Wintour stepped down from her role just days before the wedding.
One user wrote: "This is so embarrassing, no wonder Anna stepped down."
Another said: "I can now see why Anna decided to get out before this cover dropped."
A third added: "Most disappointing cover ever. I see why Anna Wintour wanted to get out the door before this disaster."
The wedding occurred on June 27.
Before the cover was released and the event even began, the wedding received criticism from all over the world because the Venice local residents are suffering from tourism issues, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding.

Anna Wintour wants on drama on the Met Gala's carpet.
On June 26, just days before Sánchez's magazine cover release, it was revealed Wintour was stepping down from her role at Vogue after nearly four decades.
It was reported the 75-year-old editor told staff members she will be seeking a new head of editorial content for the magazine.
Despite the shocking and unexpected change, Wintour will continue working as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and global editorial director at the magazine.
According to a Vogue article about the announcement, Wintour told staff that the majority of her responsibilities will be the same as before, "including paying very close attention to the fashion industry and to the creative cultural force that is our extraordinary Met Ball, and charting the course of future Vogue Worlds, and any other original fearless ideas we may come up with...and it goes without saying that I plan to remain Vogue’s tennis and theater editor in perpetuity."
