Candice Bergen's Daughter Leads American Vogue, After Herself as Fiction Director

Liputan6.com, Jakarta Candice Bergen's daughter, Chloe Malle, was recently officially appointed head of editorial content for American Vogue.

This appointment not only marks a new era for the iconic fashion magazine but also brings an interesting narrative related to her mother, legendary actress Candice Bergen.

Chloe Malle, daughter of Candice Bergen and director Louis Malle, officially succeeds Anna Wintour in this key position, effective September 2, 2025.

Her career at Vogue began in 2011, rising from social editor to contributing editor.

Chloe's recent appointment as head of Vogue is unique since Candice Bergen herself played the powerful Vogue editor Enid Frick in the popular series "Sex and the City" and its sequel, "And Just Like That...".

Bergen played the character Enid Frick, who in Season 4 of “Sex and the City” was introduced as the editor-in-chief of Vogue when Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, was hired to write a column for the famed magazine.

This creates an interesting and unique "full circle" between fiction and reality in the fashion industry.
