‘Anna: The Biography’ author Amy Odell is shining a light on what the assistants for Vogue’s editor in chief do during the Met Gala
Before the biggest stars of fashion, film, TV, music and more arrive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May. 6, Anna: The Biography author, Amy Odell, is giving a rare glimpse into the life of Wintour’s assistants.
Once assistants arrive at the venue, they will alternate between acting as ushers, directing people where to eat and helping with any and all of Wintour’s needs.

This year’s Met Gala celebrates the opening of the Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit.
