Fame and celebrity

Malle made the controversial Pretty Baby starring Brooke Shields, while Bergen won awards for her role in sitcom Murphy Brown – she also once dated Donald Trump

After nearly four decades at the helm, Anna Wintour announced in June that she was stepping down from her role as editor-in-chief at Vogue. The announcement surprised the fashion industry, which is already undergoing a shift as brands like Loewe, Dior and Gucci undergo major leadership changes.

American Vogue has since announced that Chloe Malle, 39, has been appointed to succeed Wintour, who will remain Vogue’s global editorial director and chief content officer at Condé Nast. Malle, the new head of editorial content, has worked at the magazine for over a decade as the editor of Vogue’s website and co-host of its podcast, The Run-Through.

Chloe is the daughter of actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle. She has said that despite her influential Hollywood connections, and that while she’s a “proud nepo-baby”, the status has made her career more difficult.

“There is no question that I have 100 per cent benefited from the privilege I grew up in,” she told Vogue in a recent interview. “It’s delusional to say otherwise. I will say, though, that it has always made me work much harder. It has been a goal for a lot of my life to prove that I’m more than Candice Bergen’s daughter, or someone who grew up in Beverly Hills.”

Here’s everything to know about Chloe Malle’s parents.
