Anna Wintour puts on a united display with Edward Enninful on the red carpet after reports of a 'power struggle' between editors as she draws in the stars for her Vogue World Show
Dame Anna Wintour gathered some of the biggest names in showbusiness for the Vogue World Show in Londonon Thursday.
From supermodels Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington to Hollywood's Jared Leto and Princess Beatrice and Eugenie, the event, held to raise funds for Britain's performing arts industry, rivalled New York's iconic Met Gala.
Vogue's Editor-In-Chief, 73, hit the red carpet alongside British Vogue's own editor, Edward Enninful, 51, with the pair seemingly keen to dismiss reports of a power struggle between the two.
The pair put on a united front as they posed for photos together and chatted to presenter AJ Odudu inside the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Anna showed off her fashion style status in a floral gown and gold leather trench coat as she joined Enninful and director Baz Luhrmann on the red carpet.

Enninful is due to be replaced by Londoner Chioma Nnadi as editor of British Vogue.
The Mail on Sunday reported Enninful had hoped one day to replace Wintour, but the Vogue Editor-In-Chief is determined to stay put and will 'swat any rivals off like a fly'.
The bash comes just three months after the shock announcement the British-Ghanaian former model and fashion stylist is to step down as editor-in-chief of British Vogue after six years at the helm.
When he leaves at the beginning of 2024, Enninful will take up a 'global advisory position' at Vogue, 'with the freedom to take on broader creative projects'.
'He made no secret of wanting the big job [global editorial director] but he hit the glass ceiling and he'd gone as far as he could go,' explained the Vogue insider.
'He thought he would be in London for a few years and then head for New York, but he now knows that he's never going to get Anna's job at Condé Nast.
'Anna is the undisputed boss. She has seen off many rivals and continues to do so. She could swat him like a fly.'
A fashion source put it more bluntly: 'I think Edward underestimated her power. He had so much smoke blown up his a**e when he was appointed editor that he couldn't see his own trousers.'

The event is the brainchild of Vogue's editor-in-chief but viewers, who watched via the YouTube livestream, took to social media to admit they left baffled by the 'bizarre' show.
The event was accessible only to the rich and famous with one ticket costing up to £2,521.70. Outside, a queue more than 500ft long filled with clamouring guests snaked its way through London's West End.
Echoing the splendours of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, on arrival guests were invited to wrap themselves in a Coach pashmina and enjoy a complimentary tequila from the bar.
