Just yesterday, King Charles honored Anna Wintour for her contributions to fashion during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace. And let’s be real—when you hear the name Anna Wintour, a few things immediately come to mind. She’s a legendary Vogue editor, The Devil Wears Prada is allegedly inspired by her and, of course, those iconic black sunglasses.
Naturally, Wintour showed up in peak fashion-editor form, rocking a chic gray blazer with a matching calf-length skirt. And yes, the signature shades were in place. But in a rare moment, the royal family’s official Instagram shared a photo of the 75-year-old editor without her sunglasses—a major switch-up from her usual look. This wasn’t just a personal choice, Wintour likely removed her glasses as a sign of respect, adhering to royal protocol during the ceremony.
