Anna Wintour is notoriously not an easy lady to please. If you close your eyes and imagine the Vogue editrix—go on, close your eyes and imagine her—you pictured a frown wearing a short blonde bob and big sunglasses, didn't you? (Also, see above.)

Specifically, walking down them.
Imagining Nicole Kidman being hit by a bike:
Just kidding! (But you don't have to just imagine it anymore, Anna.)
Being Anna Wintour:
