Even Ana Wintour isn’t above a wardrobe mishap.
During Monday’s 2025 Met Gala, the famously polished Vogue editor-in-chief was spotted with a small but noticeable red stain on her otherwise pristine Louis Vuitton gown.
Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to point it out—and even quicker to have fun with it.
Wintour arrived in a silver embroidered dress, layered under a soft powder blue coat and styled with her signature bob. But eagle-eyed viewers noticed a faint red smudge just below her left hand, standing out against the light fabric.
Wintour is known for immaculate presentation, and the minor flaw set the internet abuzz.
Fans and followers of fashion were particularly amused, given Wintour’s reputation for perfectionism—and her rumored inspiration for Meryl Streep’s no-nonsense Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada.
After all, she’s been the driving force behind the Met Gala since she first co-hosted it in 1995, overseeing everything from the guest list to the red carpet design.
The mental images of what must be going on in Wintour’s staff room were hilarious.
People were worried about the poor soul in charge of getting Wintour dressed.
Folks were not impressed with the dress at all.
Others focused on other elements.
Debate broke out about whether or not it was even a stain.
Could it have been...intentional?!
The event’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” this year.
