During her 60 Minutes interview, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour revealed, off air, that she advised Oprah Winfrey to lose 20 pounds to be on the cover of their magazine in 1998.
Wintour said, "It was a very gentle suggestion. I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight."
"She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet. And it was one of our most successful covers ever," she continued.
The editor also commented on the idea that they use Photoshop to make their featured stars appear beautiful and in a perfect shape. She reacted, "That's one of the things that makes me rather angry, that I don't understand. That if you look wonderful, does that make you less important? Less powerful? Less serious?"
