Report: Fashion queen Anna Wintour next U.K. ambassador?

Chief of Protocol Capricia Marshall, who’s often noted for her high-end, impeccable fashions, could soon have some competition in the diplomatic style department if a report that President Obama is considering Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour for an ambassador post is true.

The commander in chief is mulling whether to appoint Wintour, one of his biggest reelection campaign fundraising bundlers, as ambassador to the United Kingdom or France, according to Bloomberg News’s Hans Nichols.

Obama’s campaign finance chairman, Matthew Barzun, is reportedly also in the running for one of the positions.

Wintour, an England native, has headed up the iconic fashion magazine for more than 20 years. The book and subsequent movie The Devil Wears Prada was written by Wintour’s former personal assistant and is said to be based on the 63-year-old editor.
