After a stellar finance career, the mum-of-two started a luxe whiskey label and organic skincare line; she’s famed for throwing wild parties but is now butting heads with Anna Wintour Prominent New York City socialite Julie Macklowe, who was once named an “It” girl by Vogue for her “singular style”, is now butting heads with the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour . As a guest on Joe Pardavila’s podcast Good Listen, Macklowe threw some major shade at the Met Gala – known as the Oscars of fashion – calling it a “giant s***show”. The serial entrepreneur also slammed the Met Gala’s shift from inviting “real, A-list celebrities” to influencers, adding, “Half the people who go there, I don’t even know who they are.
And it feels like everyone’s just trying to dress naked at this point”. “Obviously I don’t care if I don’t get invited back,” she clarified. Macklowe has not attended the Gala since 2019.
So just who is Julie Macklowe, the 46-year-old who’s seemingly unafraid to take on fashion’s biggest night?
