Anna Wintour, American Vogue editrix and the most powerful woman in media, turns 68 today. Here are 21 facts about fashion's queen bee which you may not know...
1. When in town for London Fashion Week, Wintour maintains her immaculate bob, which she has had since the age of 14, with two blow-dries a day: one first thing in the morning, and once early evening. In fact, she books a blow dry wherever she is;
she even made an appointment at Bangs Hair Salon in York when she was in town to give a talk last year.
2. Wintour has three siblings: Patrick, James, and Nora. Her third brother, Gerald, died in a car crash as a child. Patrick Wintour's byline appears in The Guardian, where he serves as the newspaper's diplomatic editor
3. In 'The Devil Wears Prada', the novel written by former personal assistant Lauren Weisberger said to be based on Wintour, protagonist Miranda Priestly eats a freshly cooked steak from a top restaurant for lunch in her office every day.
4. The slender editor has had a love affair spanning 20 years - with the same style of Manolo Blahnik shoes. The cross-front slingbacks feature a delicate kitten-heel and never veer too far from Wintour's skin tone (she is rumoured to have different shades of the style for when she has a suntan, naturally).
