The past month marked Anna Wintour’s first season of fashion shows as Condé Nast’s artistic director. She is now more powerful — and thus more closely watched — than ever before. At fashion shows, she usually gets the choice seat next to the biggest-name celebrity guest, unless she opts to tuck herself among her Vogue cohorts, sunglasses on and arms crossed. Her interactions are well documented and have become news stories in and of themselves — remember when she matched Nicki Minaj at Carolina Herrera? This season her seatmates included Blake Lively, Nicole Kidman, Valérie Trierweiler, her new protégée Eva Chen, and the usual cast of Vogue characters. Click through them all in our slideshow.
