Anna Wintour attends US Open after John Galliano withdraws from 2027 Met Gala

Anna Wintour attended the US Open on Monday, appearing somber just hours after designer John Galliano announced he is withdrawing from the 2027 Met Gala following backlash. Wintour watched the match between Ben Shelton and Tallon Griekspoor, wearing a green and white button-up dress with a standout collar, accessorized with a colorful necklace and large black sunglasses. Wintour, 76, did not appear cheerful in photos obtained by Page Six. Galliano announced on Instagram that he will no longer be honored at the 2027 Met Gala, stating he did not want the debate surrounding him to distract from the work of the Costume Institute. He acknowledged his past offensive behavior, including antisemitic and racist remarks made in 2011, and expressed regret for the pain caused to the Jewish and Asian communities. Wintour, who has been the lead chairperson of the Met Gala since 1995, supported Galliano's decision in a statement from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, calling it courageous. However, Wintour is reportedly facing criticism for her initial decision to honor Galliano, with Condé Nast insiders suggesting she is out of touch. Sources indicated that employees are embarrassed by the situation, with some expressing concerns but hesitating to challenge her directly.
