Anna Wintour, the famous editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, is never one to crack a smile so openly and so often. Given her high stature in the fashion world, it makes sense why Wintour takes on a more serious persona no matter where she goes. After all, when you’re the queen of an empire, you have to maintain some composure. Netizens, however, were left absolutely shook by pics showing Anna Wintour smiling with Cardi B at the Alexander Wang show this past weekend during New York Fashion Week.
That’s right! The well-composed Wintour and the bubbly Cardi B were seen sitting next to each other at the show, sharing pleasantries and smiles as they watched the models stroll by on the catwalk. For the internet, seeing Wintour this cool was a shock, but given that Cardi B was the one to make her grin, it was totally expected.
Twitter was ~living~ for the dynamic duo, one user writing, “I can’t believe Cardi B has Anna Wintour out here showing teeth. What a time to be alive.”

Would love to be a fly on the wall @ NYFW just to hear Anna Wintour and Cardi B’s conversation

Are we surprised that the “Bodak Yellow” singer of all people managed to make Wintour laugh? Frankly, no. Cardi B is basically everyone’s favorite star at the moment; she’s garnered a cult-following not only for her insane rap skills, but just for being her own extra, realist-self. With her genuine personality and bold humor, it’s no wonder her charm worked on Wintour. Let’s hope this newfound friendship leads to more than just laughs. Maybe a *cough cough* Cardi B Vogue cover deal?
