Chloe Malle's promotion to the head of editorial content at American *Vogue *was written in the stars - or more aptly, written on screen.

Years before today's big editorial shakeup at the famed fashion magazine, Malle's mother, Candice Bergen, played a character on *Sex and the City *that bore striking similarities to the exec that Malle is replacing as head of U.S. *Vogue*'s day-to-day editorial operations: Anna Wintour. Bergen's Enid Frick was even compared to the legendary editor by Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) herself.

Enid was introduced in the season 4 episode "A Vogue Idea," which sees Carrie take her first pilgrimage to the institution she describes as "Mecca." She's hired to contribute articles to *Vogue* on a freelance basis, swapping her sex focus in her past post at the fictional *New York Star *for a fashion focus. To say the least, Enid, the editor with whom she's paired, is not pleased with her first submission.

"We're not looking for *Vogue *according to your agenda. No one cares about your agenda," she snarks during their first meeting. "I want less Carrie Bradshaw and more, 'Carry this bag with these shoes,' if you know what I mean."

Enid's ruthless dressing down of the writerly style that got Carrie the invitation to join *Vogue *in the first place slams the character's confidence, even prompting her to remark, "Did I just bump into Anna Wintour?" Though Enid and Carrie's relationship improved significantly as the series moved from season 4 into seasons 5 and 6, when Bergen reprised her role in sequel series *And Just Like That *in 2023, their characters had to once again navigate a challenging dynamic.

Wintour held firm the reins at American *Vogue *for 37 years. The 75-year-old British-American editor's cool temperament and exacting standards became legendary over the course of her career, going on to inspire Meryl Streep's beloved character in the 2006 comedy *The Devil Wears Prada*. ****

Though she will hold on to her titles as the brand's global editorial director and parent company Condé Nast's chief content officer, the transfer of the U.S. edition's editorial baton to Malle represents a seismic shift.

In *Vogue*'s official announcement of the staffing swap, Wintour described her successor as "a voracious, engaged journalist with an intuition for women's changing interests now — and her eye for the definitive image is exceptional."**
