‘Vogue’ magazine editor in chief Anna Wintour has acknowledged that there was once a time where “men in suits” were opposed to placing a black woman on the cover of the magazine.
Now, after the publication came under fire for likening LeBron James to King Kong when he became the first black man to rock the mag’s cover, Wintour has praised Beyonce and Naomi Campbell for breaking barriers that once stopped women of colour from rising to the top in fashion.
Her words below…
In an interview with ‘Who What Wear‘ Wintour shared:
I think that Beyoncé is every woman. She’s super-woman, she’s an extraordinary business woman, she’s a force of fashion. She totally understands the way to communicate to millions of fans. I was thinking this morning on my way in here, for my very first September issue, I put Naomi Campbell on the cover. She was wearing this orange Ann Klein sequin suit that would probably look incredibly ’80s today; we have this meeting every month where we present the issue to the corporate floor, and I remember all the men in suits being absolutely stunned by the fact that I would put a black woman on the September cover of Vogue. Looking at this issue [with Beyoncé] made me very proud of how far we’ve come and how much things have changed.”

Click here to peep the spread Anna is referring to.
YDo you agree?
She has a great team like Madonna, Mariah and other legends. Her success is not because of her… alone.
Nobody said that….. So your point is
My point is..Beyonce dyed her hair and bleached her skin. She wants all the money from brotha and sista but she doesn’t want to associate with em. That’s the truth.
I would b successful too if my husband was a drug dealer ????????????????
Not surprised if this stoned old h** named Anna gets her drugs from Jay!!! ????
Beyondumbce is like Pariah Cowry…married someone for the sake of career advantage and would do anything to stay relevant. Thats pretty disgusting and low. Tragic…omg!
Well ….of course. NO ONE’S success is because of them “alone”. That’s kind of a given. If having a team wasn’t necessary, no one would have one soooooo…. okay?? None of what you said takes away from her personal contribution to what she’s accomplished.
Bey is successful bcause Grandma pimped her to the highest bidder @ cocaine dealer. Everyone knows that. She and Kris Jenner are the biggest pimp in the showbiz!
How pathetic Grandma Tina is!!! ????
Without Jay, Bey is nothing. That’s why she doesn’t mind spreading her legs every night to that ugly baboon. Pfttt…
Well at least shes spreading it to one man, unlike Hoeianna, who spreading that wore out thing to the industry
????????
Kii U know im right though spider m***** lookin biitch
Whitney Houston was the first black female mega star. How soon we forget how she broke barriers. Beyonce hasn’t done a damn thing for women except use feminism to sell records.
Beyonce is not a feminist just like Gaga…. pretending she is the voice for GLBT community.
These 2 are the McDs of Music. 🙁
Your Opinion, which came out your ratch ashy bumpy aass
At least my bumpy ass holds more value than Beyonce’s flopped singles/ songs combined.
No Whitney Houston wasn’t. Diana Ross was. The word “feminism” was not liked til Beyonce took her stance on it. Feminists always had a bad rep. One of the reasons many pop female stars who came before Beyonce NEVER owned or claimed, too afraid to or shy away from the word like Madonna and Janet Jackson did, they never claimed it. Beyonce was the FIRST female pop star to say I Am A FEMINISTS and OWNED IT. And now you see this new movement. Beyonce has changed the face of FEMINISTS forever. People are not afraid to say they’re one and own it. Give this woman her props.
Beyonce has changed the music industry forever. Thanks to her, albums are released on Fridays the global release day. Have you notice a lot of artist are dropping singles/albums out of the blue without any release date? That’s Beyonce effect.
(cont)
Madonna, Janet, Whitney never claimed they were a feminists. Madonna was one of many who said “I’m NOT a feminists.”
Beyonce is a great woman but far from being a legend. She reinvents things but she didn’t create anything. She doesn’t take chances nor risks. When she opens her mouth omg, she sounds worse than Kim Kardashian. So dumb.
How many e-mail addresses do you have?
how many c*** you had last night, riri???
You can say what you want But that beyoncés power and impact can not be denied, and yes she broke barriers for black women ,she is an icon and gonna end as a legend,i don’t doubt about that … her work ethic and the way she carried herself thats what make everybody including you faves respect her…carry on
I couldn’t have said it better myself 🙂
I can’t @ this troll using multiple accounts just to discredit the queen. LMAO
How can a white woman associate first of all. Secondly barriers were broken way before bey. She just happened to be a marketable force. Hardly a barrier breaker. Not like Janet, Mariah, Whitney, Diana, Tina, and so on.
Kii You mad no one is praising That Whorree lol…..Nobody but the pornstars.
So basically Anna Wintour is comparing what Whitney Houston, along with Michael Jackson, have done for black people with Beyonce, a glorified twerker and pole dancer who had an easy upbringing… ???? ???? ???? I’m a little shaken by her statement. Dafuq? Clearly she’s desperately trying to use that alleged “Black woman” to deflect away from the racial tendencies in fashion, particularly Vogue itself. I doubt Black Twitter will fall for this bullsh*t. She tried.
False! Whitney and especially Janet did that way before Beyonce was even taught off. Them 2 put black girls on top. Yes we had Diana & Tina running the game before Janet and Whitney came along, but those 2 took it to enormous heights that Beyonce is now taking credit for. Whitney was the highest paid black actress, most awarded artist. Janet was the highest paid artist male & female, 2nd most awarded & trendsetter that broke barriers for black women. Beyonce is just carrying on the legacy, but she hasn’t broken down barriers for black women that we haven’t seen before. If anything she should have took it even higher but she’s not doing anything we haven’t seen before. Talk about propaganda at it’s core, smh.
King B has broken down some barriers Whitney and Janet couldnt. Just because they came first, doesnt mean they accomplish everything. Just the fact that King B was the first black female musician to cover Vogue’s September issue, is a barrier broke for women of color in music.
The haters will do anything to discredit Queen Beyonce. She is POWER!!!!!!
Power with only less #1 hit songs. Yeah right ????????????
I cant even remember when this h** hit #1….1967?! ????
But who is ur fav though. I bet shes a broke biitch like u kii
Bey doesnt break anything…Anna is an a*** licker just to make herself good. This lady is a moron! Moron supports moron. Thats sad!
B**** stick to 1 account
Lmfao, who wrote this trash.
Beyonce is an a***…talks like a 13 yo dumb misguided and clueless basic h**. She is not a great model. How many times this s**** being sued?! Google it…so pathetic! ????
Biitch u mad or nah?? I bet u look like a big black piece of shiity mess.
Is that your depleted c*nt hole in your avatar?! ????????????

Wow . Why is it that you can’t form a complete sentence?
Lmao That biitch said, she is not a great model lmfao….
???????????????????????? You Ugly Hooes are mad lmao. Yeeeeeeeeeeees Anna!!! You better give credit where its due. These are some dumbaasses that comment here. Whitney and MJ did break barriers but they didnt break them all. Barriers are still being broken for blacks today. U hooes need to live beyond those walls in ur house.
Jahahaha the war on here is harsh . Anna a moron beyonce a 2× certified moron and leg spreader loool…. she loves big c*** u suppose
Anna wh0? A h** who runs a flop magazine for a rich white thrash and now she wants our money. Nahhhh…

Im dying here ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Hoeianna fans are Seeeeeethin with their Troll Accounts ????????????????????????????????????????
I guess their man since the w**** of Babylon been linked to another man. She’s such a W****!!!!!!!
Yeeees lmao. How many is that?? Gotta be 1086234567865432345566667644
who is this Beyonce? I dont know her anymore than I know a Ciara.
Before Beyonce we already had women like Janet Whitney Diana Ross who broke records and made black women look great …even freaking Cleopatra was a black. . am tired of seeing this fat woman get accolades she doesn’t deserve .
And the f**** hives can kiss my fat ass.
Fat Aass pissy biitch we would be all day trying to kiss that sloppy, outshape, black tar aaass
Anna is reaching.
Tina Turner is the legend…Beyondumb is a wife to a drug dealer. Haaaa…fix it for y’all!!!
Anna is desperate for black money. Maybe she will get dumb money from Beyondumpce’s fans. ????
This!!!! ????????????????????
D.E.A.T.H XD
How can spreading your c*** on stage showing your half naked body on stage be a breaking of barrier ….if you want to talk about breaking barriers let’s talk of Angelina jolie ,let’s talk of Chima Amanda adichie ,let’s talk of shakira who built 6 schools in Colombia and donated 40 million dollars to UNICEF ,let’s talk about Mathew Luther king ,let’s talk about Obama ….these are people who have broken barriers not this fraud.
F**** Shakira and u too biitch, Bow Down The Reigning Queen of Music….The Living Legend Beyonce Giselle Knowles Carter ????????????????????????????
Lets talk about Celia Cruz, Nina Simone…
Um hun….thats Anna’s opinion. You biitches are seeing red over someones opinion lmfaooooooooooooooooo
Really girl? Do you honestly think us black people are stupid and will fall for this?
Grandma Tina tried to pimp Solange but Bey was the one who sucked and swallow hardest. ????
I agree, she’s paving the way for alot of black women. Even tho, many black women don’ alot already. Bey is continuing that legacy of breaking records not only as a black female, but as a black artist period. She’s the only black artist to score a world tour with over 200,000,000+ $’s in grossing’s.
And, she’s the wealthiest black female singer of all time.
Anna is a cocaine addict and guess what who is her drug dealer who is available for 24/7? Beyondumpce’s baboon dearly husband. Sad i know… ????
The only Coke Whorre is Hoeianna. She probably think Pushback#8 is out and #1 around the World lmao. #DrugsAreBadOk

Good bye Mariah..,.here comes Beyonce. Happy retirement in Vegas! ????
Is it me or these comments expressing hate seem to be written by one person??Sam is that you?
hunny im dying at this tea: “Didnt Nas admit to nutting on her (Beyonce) face during Jay and Nas beef when Jay and Bey were friends?” SCCCCCCRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!!!!!
I never understood the like for Homosapien Beyboon. She basic boring and mediocre. y’all know she paying these blogs.
Anna praises Bey is relevant as Jay-Z’s flopped Tidal
😆
Rather watch turtles race than reading Vogue or watching Slutyonce.
Any time we see either of them Bey or Jay on TV we change the channel. Another fake relationship, it’s just a business deal. When they got involved in the last election in the US they lost 70% of their audience.
So overrated. A borderline thrash….
Wtf is up with this low-life troll? Tgc please block this m*********** or something!!
Like you uneducated faves loool
Thank you Anna for saying the true haters can’t stand the true long live queen bey haters have norting on you God bless you and your family for life
True? Since when the word from 80 yo menopause woman is a fact?! ????
Tragic
DECIMATED, DESTROYED, DEVALUED, DISINTEGRATED INTO DUST!!!!!! KMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@Sam Please get your site together these trolls are really pushing it to another level. Like damnnnnn y’all creating a 1000 accounts just to hate Lool it int that deep yo…..
“Beyonce would be nothing without jay z” lmaooooooooo stop these liessss. Beyonce is the only reason Jay z is really relevant and y’all known ittt. Let’s not forget she gave him first 100 million dollar tourrr ☕☕☕
Ummm. O-K.
Lol. So the H I V can’t take the tea? Beyonce is a Local ass pensioner thot that has been smashed more times than plates at a Jewish wedding.
what barriers ? Please
This the same woman saying she wishes she was born latina
But she surely built barriers around your favés career ☕️☕️☕️
Never b****
Keri was a successful songwriter before a singer, she possesses a talent your illiterate, thieving ass fave could never possess and that’s songwriting. How many people has she paid off because she stole their song and took songwriting credit f**?
B**** I will expose your tea so hard, you used to troll as the hivemember called Angel look at the bottom of this post for proof because you both have tha same gravatars http://thatgrapejuice.net/2013/12/beyonce-performs-flaws-live-revel-fans-undying-loyalty/
OOP! Told y’all that b**** was a troll….Im sleep tho
So much trolls hatin out here
Beyonce is like Samsung. She is innovating not creating.
🙁
Samsung actually creates and makes their own products. Also products for other companies (hello Iphones).Before calling me a liar Google the facts yourself Samsung makes like 75% of the parts for the phone other companies throw bits and pieces in their. Someone puts it together Apple puts their stamp on it calls it the IPhone. I think I would rather be the original creator(Samsung).
Jay_Z is pulling all the resources for her after Destiny Child’s era. Get real, Anna. You are drunk as a skunk.
Thank God for Beyonce. Otherwise we would be hearing Mariah’s deteriorating voice for the last 5 years! ????
Beyonce is a serial thief whose writing ability is absolutely non-existing!!!
She stretched her p*ssy at the age of 14 to get a record deal in the boardroom while mama Tina waited outside at the waiting room. Everyone knows that….,
????????????
The only thing thing she broke….”the legend with less #1 hit singles” title! ????????????
Let me guess the Navy thinks Rihanna did something for black women Lool shut up.
Disagree…
Beyonce is not a risk-taker. Everything she has done…done by Whitney, Toni Braxton, Aliyah, Mariah and Janet.
A joke of the week must b or slow month at the Vogue HQ!
Beyonce is the richest black woman in MUSIC HISTORY, the most awarded black woman, and the highest grossing black female tour act EVER.
So please elaborate on how she hasnt broken down any barriers for black people……
just because you are rich but it doesn’t mean who are a risk taker or influential. grow some brains, h**.
lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooo ????
DRAG THIS CHEAP 99% WH()RE called Beyonce!!!
B****, shut up before I drag you
Kerry queen used to be hivemember angel here’s the proof and the b**** is behaving fake right now. Look at the bottom of the page they have the same old gravatar http://thatgrapejuice.net/2013/12/beyonce-performs-flaws-live-revel-fans-undying-loyalty/
Yaaaaas I spot no lies……
Sam, you really need to gather centurion and the rest of his troll accounts.
That in addition to these damn pop ups, are no bueno!
That one troll worked overtime today!! It is pissed honey!! Lmfaooo
I see Jay Z is good in business. People like our Afro- Americans need to stop competing or comparing. Let Jay Z and Mathew Knowles have conglomerate business deal together to help the true fans who are inspired in this generation.
How do you guys know it was one person trolling? Lolz. Do not deflect bugs. I lived for this peasant prostitute Beyonce dragging.
Whether Beyonce is black woman? She is not very black…
Um.. If anyone should be thanked/praised it should be Whitney and Janet…Beytrannys done nothing but copy Tina’s career and steal from other artist while faking pregnancys.
Anna’s RESPECTED opinion>>> A loose hole t***** man NOBODY!!
Not to mention beytranny tries her hardest to disassociate herself from actually being black and doesn’t even wanna look black *cough bleaching creams cough * Who else remembers her saying she wishes she was Latina in a Latin magazine?? self hating t***** smh
Biitch stfu Beyonce was born light skin…Look at her mother.. Only person bleaching is Rihanna…she was brown skin when she debuted and now almost lighter than Beyoncé! Atleast Beyonce never abandoned her R&B/urban roots to appeal to the edm-loving white trailer trash $1 single buying demographic. Rihanna been sold out her Caribbean roots for fame and success! Call me when Rihanna finally finds her true identity.. She switches them so much every era to the point where she is lost now..lmaooo stfu botched t*****
Lmao i hita nerve p***? bwaghhah bey pressed..And way to reverse the roles. Lets keep it real back in the Mathew child days beyranny was medium brown now shes light bright and damn near white..beyflops Lorel commercial says hi and google is your friend go do sum searchin.
Let me speak on this, but nothing is urban about her. That’s what she is trying to say; she was in the suburbs, high middle-class. That’s why she steals; she can’t get the root of the problem of any problems. So, she gasses it up; when realistically it’s over- marketing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it seem like your favorite hate excuse but it’s the truth. I don’t know why you people are so unrealistic from getting mad about nothing. I don’t know about the light-skinned thing that’s going on but why you get so mad people to dumb to see it?
Exactly..Let them soil in their delusion tho.
so this is medium brown skin?? WHERE??!! LMAOOO biitch you are blind, delusional and dumb. FOH!!
http://youtu.be/9OeqgtpOYGU
@ the other delusional biitch
Beyonce is very much so urban from her look, music, swag and everything about her since she debuted. Her being brought up in a middle class enviorment is irrelevant, when she is an urban raised African American and has been influenced and raised in the culture since birth! You can’t steal god-given TALENT! So I guess by your logic Madonna isn’t a real white pop artist, since she has has been accused of stealing since day one. Nothing is new under the sun but it doesn’t change the fact that Beyonce is a black woman from URBAN Houston, Texas. She doesn’t have to pretend to be something she is not. It just comes naturally. The reason she is still so loved an respected nearly twenty years after her debut!
LMAO I’m sorry the delusion is just to funny!! lmao i lold too damn much. Do you honestly believe any of the b******* you just wrote? hahah HER GHETTONESS IS NATRUAL? IT’S HER CULTURE? SHE WAS GHETTO FROM BIRTH? BHAHHAHAA you really are dumb, everything shay said was correct. Beytranny wasn’t raised in the kind of lifestyle she tries to act like..Its called her team markets her as such to appeal to dumb, ghetto phaggots like you and its working hahah. and then for you to say what you did…i mean.. LMAO bwhahaHAH Your not only falling for the b******* but your helping create it loooooll i cannottt
https://youtu.be/qtqt19deBa4 This is brown skin? shut up dumb f*** lool
Biitch you are really as retarded as the way you type. Where did you get the word “ghetto” from?? Being urban doesn’t automatically mean “ghetto”, you ignorant horse face biitch!! Also, how is Beyoncé “ghetto”? The last time I checked, she’s a multi-millionaire, world wide POP Icon, at only 34 years old! She is a married woman and mother. Just because she makes urban/R&B and sometimes “ratchet” music and is African American, does not make her “ghetto”. It is only apart of her culture! She is not out here smoking weed, snorting lines of cocaine and being an absolute Hollywood s***! She does not have leaked nudes all over the internet, she doesn’t participate in the little petty Twitter/IG drama. So I fail to see how she would be considered “ghetto”? Bird brain biitch! Also what b******* am I falling for and creating? Please explain..????????
I love all my black sisters doing their thing in the music biz. But,we all know for the people hating if she would’ve made this exact comment about your fav it would’ve been YASSSS QUEEN(insert name) SLAYYY MY LIFE!!!! When will your fav, and all the other stuff I read during Stan Wars.
Right!! The sinking banana boat is just iron pressed that Anna Wintour didn’t acknowledge their overrated “Fashion Icon” lol bye. You would think that the black “fashion icon” would be the one to grace the most important vogue issue of the year???????????? Guess not
Most divas that paved the way for Beyonce are proud of her! She’s avoided some of the pitfalls that other black artists walked into. Bey’s a great business woman behind the scenes and that’s motivating for the generation coming up behind her. She’s honestly one of the main reasons why everyone wants to “build a brand”.
What’s admirable about Beyonce is her work ethic. She does things in a traditional sense (she believes in hard work, playing up natural talent, being hands on with creativity and rigorous rehearsals in order to reach a level of perfection), but she’s not afraid of trying new things and going against the grain. While everyone was following edm trends, she was reviving R&B music. Bey also took big risk and trusted her instincts with the self-titled project. She took control of how she wanted to express her art. Anna sees Bey’s strength and unwillingness to settle for what so many artists do. It’s really not hard to see why anyone would look up to B!
Britney Spears has 2 diamond certified albums.
Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga have 0 combined.
