Happy Birthday, Anna Wintour! A Smiling Shot For Every One of Her 65 Years

Updated on 11/3/2014 at 1:10 PM

Anna Wintour turns 65 today, so we're celebrating the occasion by taking a tour through Wintour's happiest moments caught on camera since she took over at Vogue in 1988. After all, she did say of quitting the magazine: "I think — my father always said to me that when you get too angry that's the time to stop. The day I get too angry is the day I take up gardening." Therefore: 65 Wintourian smiles, for each of her 65 years, in the slideshow.
