Anna Wintour appeared in a MasterClass released on May 20, 2026, offering career advice for job seekers. She stated that during interviews she does not focus on what candidates wear, but is instead interested in their reading habits, movie interests, and reasons for wanting to work at Vogue or Condé Nast. Wintour advised applicants to be honest, direct, and prepared, and to avoid pretending to share an interviewer's interests. She also discussed developing creativity and taste through exposure to culture and the arts, emphasizing the value of seeing things in person rather than through a screen. On May 4, 2026, Wintour spoke at a press conference for the Met Gala, which that year supported the Costume Institute exhibition "Costume Art" and inaugurated the new Condé M. Nast Galleries. She recalled attending her first Met Gala in 1982 as a fashion editor at New York magazine, describing the experience as meaningful for a newcomer to New York. Wintour thanked the Newhouse family for their generosity in making the new galleries possible and praised the fashion industry for supporting the museum and the city after crises such as 9/11, the AIDS epidemic, and the pandemic. She also commended the "new houses" for their long-term commitment to art and culture.
