Lauren Sanchez gearing up for career overhaul after Jeff Bezos purchases Vogue, says ‘source’
Lauren Sanchez is reportedly gearing up for a massive career overhaul amid rumors that her husband, Jeff Bezos, is purchasing Conde Nast. The company houses several publications under its banner, including Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and others. According to Rob Shuter’s exclusive report, a source shared that Bezos’ potential acquisition comes with the possibility of his wife taking up an important role.
The insider shared that Sanchez isn’t looking to take over former Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour’s title, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want “influence” or “access.” The former journalist is reportedly being considered for a major role at Vogue. The source told the outlet that she will be at the center of editorial strategy and brand partnerships, positioning herself as a decision-maker.
The source continued, “Think of her as a shadow executive. She’s already dressing the part. Now she’s ready to make moves like a media mogul.” According to the report, Sanchez’s extravagant appearance at the Paris Fashion Week this week was more than just a showcase of fashion. The insider shared that it was a well-placed “strategy” and a message to the industry to “get ready.”
After her appearance on the Vogue cover last month, sources revealed that Jeff Bezos was planning on the publication’s ownership as a wedding gift to Lauren Sanchez. They also shared that Wintour could potentially be the one to broker the deal.
