One person said that although it was a mistake, it resembled a "drag queen name." Others spoke of Anna Wintour's appearance at the event, with a user aiming her lipstick. Another person said that the mistake was possibly a "human error."

Notably, the opening ceremony has grabbed attention for similar errors. As per the latest updates, netizens expressed their criticism on social media after subtitles were missing during the performances of French rapper Rim'k. A similar problem was reported when Lady Gaga was performing.

Anna Wintour will appear in a new documentary which is airing soon on Disney+

The London, England native would be a part of an upcoming series titled In Vogue: The 90s. The show will be released through Disney+ on September 13, 2024.

Popular faces such as Edward Enninful, Hamish Bowles, and Tonne Goodman have been cast as the leads. It also includes other personalities such as Kim Kardashian, Camilla Nickerson, Mary J. Blige, Tommy Hilfiger, and many others.

In Vogue: The 90s will be available for streaming in the UK and Ireland through Disney+ alongside some selected countries. Residents living in the US would be able to watch it on Hulu. Although Anna Wintour plays one of the leads, she also serves as an executive producer.

Considering that the main cast members are famous editors, they would try to bring out the story of the industry from their perspective. The show will even cover the changes that events like the Met Gala have undergone over the years.

Furthermore, Anna Wintour was in the headlines last month after she appeared on This Life of Mine with James Corden and addressed a lot of things about her life. She said that although she is not an expert in singing, dancing, and writing, she tries to help everyone.

"I admire others so much, and I want to do the best that I can to help show the world how good they are. That's really what motivates me, I think, is admiration for others who have gifts that I can't possibly understand, but I can admire," she added.
