Candice Bergen Defends Daughter's Vogue Role

Candice Bergen has publicly defended her daughter Chloe Malle's recent appointment as Vogue's head of editorial content. Bergen highlighted Malle's extensive 14-year tenure at the magazine, asserting that her position was earned through hard work rather than mere connections.

Malle, who joined Vogue in 2011, has progressed from Social Editor to editor of Vogue.com. Anna Wintour, stepping down from her long-standing role, expressed confidence in Malle, commending her unique ability to navigate both the publication's rich history and its future direction. Wintour described Malle as one of Vogue's "secret weapons" for tracking fashion trends. Malle has embraced the 'nepo baby' label, proudly acknowledging her background while underscoring her professional achievements. Her promotion, while celebrated by Bergen and Wintour, has also faced scrutiny, with some online critics labeling her a 'nepo baby.'
