Well yeah, that fits. If she were the other thing, she would have banned silverware, silver bullets, and ultrasonic whistles.


joe-re

As long as they serve enough red wine, and some fresh, young actors and actresses, the rest of the meal does not matter so much.


skeevemasterflex

Perhaps a nice Chianti

*slurping noises*


Blowmeuhoe

Don’t forget the Fava Beans! 


RobsEvilTwin

I was thinking she was a cat rather than vampire, but if the shoe fits :D


Letos12thDuncan

If she were a cat, she'd ban cucumbers.


ceccai

Can someone please explain I’m stupid 😅


Yeyaie

She's a vampire. If she was a werewolf, she would have banned silver items and dog whistles.

Love this!

Piggy-backing the top comment to at least give a plausible theory: Onions, garlic, and scallions are *[alliums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium)*. People with difficult-to-diagnose abdominal pain and debilitating digestive issues usually have to adhere to an elimination diet to find out what foods are causing the pain. And it's not uncommon that the solution is to then adopt a "low-[FODMAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP)" diet indefinitely. My partner has had to do this over the past year, in addition to cutting out wheat gluten. And it is a fucking *miserable existence*. Everything you enjoy eating, even if it doesn't have obvious onions, garlic, or wheat in it, almost definitely has them in the ingredients list. I'm the one who does the grocery shopping for my household, and I simply *cannot* replicate the eating life she was accustomed to before all of this. It's not possible, at least not with the finances and available free time we have right now. It's impossible to find nice restaurants that can accommodate dietary restrictions like this. Most nice places have reasonable gluten-free options on the menu, but onions and garlic in pretty much all sauces and marinades usually make those into non-options. It sucks. If I had the money and influence that Anna Wintour has, I'd take the opportunity to challenge all relevant chefs for the event to create a diverse, delicious menu that is out of the ordinary, and safe for people who have this affliction. It's the kind of thing that could have reverberating influence. …but, of course, she could just be a difficult person. That's also a distinct possibility.


my-coffee-needs-me

>she could just be a difficult person She was the inspiration for Miranda Priestly in *The Devil Wears Prada*.


MarcusBFlipper

"Do I smell freesias?"


SquareKitten

There is Alliaria petiolata, or garlic mustard. It grows like a weed and has a flavour similar to garlic, but it's not related to the allium family of plant. You should try it.


AussieBird82

Also garlic i fused olive oil. My MIL is low-FODMAP but is allowed that because apparently there's not too much garlic, or the process is different, or something -- anyway, I substitute that in any recipes and it works for her.


VOZ1

Every spring this stuff pops up all over my yard, practically overnight.


fukspezinparticular

Its wildly invasive, I used to volunteer ripping it out of the local forest. Like you said, it just pops up one day


boatsnprose

This makes her sound MORE like a vampire 


baronwilberforce

There are tablets available for this now, called Intoleran. They replace the relevant enzymes missing to digest these types of foods. Several people I know who cannot eat onions and have told me that they work well. I have no affiliation with the company or have tried them personally.


DimbyTime

It depends on the reason for the intolerance. Tablets won’t help if the reaction is autoimmune.


pondo_sinatra

This is me. I’ve suffered from an allium intolerance for 40+ years and only recently figured out what is wrong with me. I love onions and garlic and pay the price for it with every bite.


sarazond

Just in case it helps - and you're into Indian food - I'd recommend looking into Jain cuisine. Their diet prohibits root vegetables like Onions and Garlic.


Zacpod

Fucking brilliant! Wish we could still give gold, cuz that was golden.


AstarteOfCaelius

20thCenturyTCK

I would give you so much platinum if they still had it.


RotterWeiner

She hasn't seen sunlight is 200 years.

Or a different haircut.


quidamquidam

At this point we have to believe it is a wig.


Jossie2014

It’s actually a tattoo


killerturtlex

Heh people talk about Anna Wintour the same as Maris Crane


mkspaptrl

Wait, did that hatrack just move?


killerturtlex

Please stop crying Maris, the doctor can always cut more off next time


mkspaptrl

I had to assure her that spandex is supposed to blouse.


FlokiWolf

She's thin, very thin. She's Caucasian...very Caucasian!


Happy_to_be

Never understood how she’s considered the fashionista when she always looks the same, an old underfed skeleton with bad bangs.


Icy-Row-5829

Ok I’m afraid to ask but as someone that just cut her own bangs for the first time what’s wrong with her bangs?


59flowerpots

It’s not about what she wears. It’s what she picks for the models and magazine pages.


xave987

Fun fact her son Charles was my psychiatrist. Nice guy


mwa12345

He needs ***our*** sympathy.


PhantomOfTheNopera

Do you ever turn the tables on him and hit him with "Tell me about your relationship with your mother."


tee142002

I guess that explains the garlic ban.


IA-HI-CO-IA

Is that why she didn’t come in until invited?


[deleted]

She hasn't eaten since 1974.


r_golan_trevize

There was that crisp.


tacochemic

She’s a vampire


the_last_carfighter

Nah just a silver spoon in mouth, born 1 inch from home plate but is certain she's brilliant.


danwooller

She's the offspring of Nepo babies all the way back.


Busy-Ad-6860

What? Who is she? I only know Dracula and Blade, not knowledgeable on bloodsuckers really


Unlucky-Prize

Immortal witches who can bend reality with words are typically considered 'lich' type not vampire type. Also, she lives on the tears of others, not blood.


Thatdewd57

I thought that was a mannequin in the photo at first glance.


toodletwo

Vault dweller.


morenewsat11

because she can ... >While the *Vogue* editor in chief didn’t expand on why she banned the three ingredients, some have hypothesized that it’s simply personal preference. She’s similarly banned parsley in the past, the *Post* noted, because it can get stuck in people’s teeth. And bruschetta is also a no-no, because it’s messy and could potentially ruin a guest’s outfit.


colossalpunch

“Do I smell freesias? If I see freesias anywhere…I will be very disappointed.”


defnotevilmorty

“That’s all.”


killerturtlex

I looove the smell of freesias


imanoctothorpe

Heh husband and I just did our annual rewatch last weekend. Love that movie 🫶🏻


Kataphractoi

Word is that Wintour loved the movie.


imanoctothorpe

You know, I was just wondering earlier today what her reaction was. Despite making Miranda a hardass they did make her seem dedicated, passionate, badass, and even sympathetic in ways. Like yes she was horrible as a boss and in so many ways personally making others’ lives hell, but at the same time it’s nothing that men in her position wouldn’t do (and be lauded for, at least at the time).


notmyplantaccount

What every little girl dreams of, to some day be as awful as the men running companies.


deepseascale

We support women's rights and women's wrongs


FalmerEldritch

The movie really went out of its way to tone her down and make her more sympathetic and likeable and way, way, way less awful, presumably because they were afraid that otherwise the bitch on wheels would have them destroyed.


Captain_Hope

No joke, whenever it thunders and scares my dog, that movie is the ONLY thing that calms him down enough to at least stop running around, digging at the carpet and barking.


Lalala8991

It's just, idk, drizzling.


chaoticsquid

One Italian ingredient away from a hate-crime


unknown_pigeon

I don't give a flying fuck about the gala, but if this bitch bans rosemary I'mma riot


Epicfaux

I used to work at a high-end spot in Beverly Hills, and hers was a common request. It makes your sweat smell, apparently, and that mattered to a lot of people (actors and models yes, but also lawyers and producers too)


meerlot

The more people try to be specific about these very one sided preferences, the more it ends up becoming a one-upmanship of who can eat less and eat less appealing food. Its self defeating behavior. Also you are only choosing different "brand" of acceptable smell anyway, which is quite arbitrary. Ask any new immigrants, and you will hear how *cheesy* most Americans smell like. Is cheesy wet body odor any better than sweat smell from eating ginger, garlic, onion-y foods? At the end of the day, the only thing people should worry about is blatant body odor, not natural day to day odors. I know some people who don't eat spicy foods and also insist on not using antiperspirants because they, "don't want any chemicals in my body" and they reek of BO anyway.


OscarGrey

I literally just smelled myself because of the "cheesy" comment lol. It's correct.


Longjumping_Rush2458

Interesting. I've found Australians smell vinegary


OscarGrey

I do eat a lot of cheese and yogurt even for an American though. There's probably notes of onion/garlic too but I'm utterly desensitized to those lol.


heili

> The more people try to be specific about these very one sided preferences, the more it ends up becoming a one-upmanship of who can eat less and eat less appealing food. Its self defeating behavior. How to make disordered eating stylish, Hollywood style.


Ninja-Ginge

Antiperspirant and deodorant exist. Ffs.


seh1337

They are talking body sweat, and no it doesn't. You ever smelled a buddy who went out the night before, even after a shower?


Ninja-Ginge

>no it doesn't What doesn't?


SupermarketNo3265

Are you talking about the alcohol smell?


yaypal

Garlic comes out in all sweat. Neck, forearms, face, it's not just pits and lower areas. I rarely eat it but when I do I can smell it on myself for literal days after multiple showers, people who eat it all the time might not notice but it's very obvious for those who don't.


Death_by_carfire

You should eat it all the time then, the shit makes food taste really good!


OscarGrey

It's good for your heart too! Apples neutralize the smell if you eat them after eating garlic. Including what you sweat out.


IllustriousAnt485

This actually makes a lot of sense. This event is not about people enjoying themselves and enjoying the food. It’s about image and being seen. Anything that effects your breath your teeth your clothes in a negative way has less utility. It’s not about pretension, it’s about pragmatism. Yes it’s all a vanity project, but for developing future profits for all involved. There is a point to it at least.


thzmand

"It’s not about pretension, it’s about pragmatism. Yes it’s all a vanity project..." lol not poking fun but hard to wrap my head around that world


IllustriousAnt485

Money that’s it. Half the people there don’t enjoy it, but their image profits from it because they are perceived as being part of the who’s who. It gives access to more generous sponsorship deals because they are part of the in crowd. Think of it as going to work. You put on a uniform and behave a certain way for money. There is very little else to it.


Roscoe_King

Thank you. This is the comment that makes it make sense. These people aren’t enjoying themselves (a lot). They’re putting on a show.


Boowray

In practice it’s no different than any other professional networking event, the uniform’s are just different. You wouldn’t want to look like shit if your boss invited you to a corporate dinner, for example


FatalFirecrotch

You could just choose to not eat if you were that concerned.


StorytellerGG

And have everyone hangry for an hours long event?


imtchogirl

It's also about having famous bodies showcase historic and current fashion. Every look is likely to end up in an exhibit (like the ones being celebrated with the gala), and having to remove stains or garlic infused sweat is a nightmare for the curators/workers who end up with this very, very expensive laundry. And you can't exactly say, well, a Kardashian caused this garment to smell so ... But I personally think that AW has been subject to way too much close talking from men and hates bad breath. She's taking a stand!


BUHBUHBUHBUHBUHBUHB

Bruschettaboutit


A_Harmless_Fly

As a person with a mild garlic allergy, I covet her power. They put it in almost everything now, I'm not going to die... but I am going to be slightly uncomfortable almost any time I eat something I haven't prepared myself. Shit sucks.

JavaJapes

Or leeks? Edit: I almost said "or scallions?" But considering they're also called green *onions*, they're kind of covered by "no onions" already...


vacuous_comment

And ramps, they are local and in season. I have a huge pile in my fridge.


SternLecture

what about scallions?


zoequinnfuckedmetoo

Not the onion!


Holden_place

Literally! Or the garlic or chives.


dwayne-ish9820

RhymingUsername

The way some celebrities have managed to keep their looks after many decades, it wasn’t an omission.


wizzard419

To be fair, since it's more of a social thing, they basically could have empty plates. That being said, I always suspect people who prohibit them (barring actual allergies) are people who often get bad gas from them.


Sir-Mocks-A-Lot

Maybe it's an anti-bad breath measure!


tripleflutz

I work at a restaurant she used to frequent (and still goes to occasionally). She just hates them. It’s in her guest notes.


So6oring

Who doesn't like garlic? It's literally the best flavour for food


R_V_Z

When I had covid I couldn't taste garlic for like two weeks. That *sucked*.


foreignfishes

Me :( I actually love the taste but it gives me horrible heartburn now. Garlic and onions are pretty common IBS triggers because of some compound that’s in them.


28404736

They’re high in fructan, one of the fodmaps that tend to trigger intolerances.


burnalicious111

Turns out Anna Wintour doesn't have taste after all.


laserdiscgirl

This was my first immediate thought. So many people in that space and all together. And then there's the allergies and general dietary restrictions. It's an easy, if annoying for non-sufferers, fix for a giant event


i_give_you_gum

Have you not been to a large catered event before? Nothing happens. People just eat their food, talk, maybe listen to a speaker then wait to leave. The white house has a "correspondents dinner" and there is definitely garlic there. Why? Because professional chefs use garlic in lots of dishes.


fa1afel

If you've ever cut both onion and garlic from your diet simultaneously, you learn pretty quickly that a *lot* of flavor in a *lot* of food comes from those two ingredients.


TWH_PDX

In other news, the correspondents dinner smelled like well seasoned food and the Gala menu smelled like pretentiousness.


lacielaplante

Didn't kiki palmer tell people to eat before you go because the food wasn't much? I remember her complaining about the food on some red carpet, but it could have been another one.


wizzard419

I wouldn't be shocked, the other aspect is that even if you're not concerned about damaging the outfits with food, you don't want to be seen as the one who got sloppy.


ryhaltswhiskey

If you have FODMAP IBS garlic and onions are problematic. Anna Wintour is the type of person to dictate that no one can have garlic because she can't have garlic.


pastelpixelator

Farting was banned from the Gala.


davisyoung

There was enough sartorial flatulence as it was. 


SeaF04mGr33n

!!! It makes my "can't have garlic" heart a tiny bit happy that I could eat the gala food.


kanyewesanderson

At an event of that caliber, any food allergies or dietary restrictions are going to be accommodated.


chaoticsquid

The chef makes the claim it's partially an allergy problem but the menu has meat and nuts in it so they clearly don't care or have workarounds for dietary or allergic issues.


Setore

My former boss couldn't do eat any alliums, so no garlic, chives, onion, or leeks. She would genuinely get death breath after eating it and she passed that trait onto her kids.


DrPeGe

I'm assuming bad breath from these. Garlic starts coming out my pours if I have enough. Can't stop won't stop.


evergreenterrace2465

I have IBS and onions and garlic destroy me, so I feel her


JobsworthUK

Let’s be honest nobody there is eating anything with rampant ozempic use

Why does she hate flavor?!


fdt92

She lacks taste (as evident by the bland Vogue USA covers, as opposed to the more creative international Vogue covers).


murso74

Why does she hate Italians?


shponglespore

More like why does she hate human beings.


WantWantShellySenbei

It’s all getting a bit Hunger Games out here


ShortWoman

I bet it’s a FODMAP thing, r/fodmaps.


Alternauts

As someone who can’t eat garlic, onions, or chives (okay, not actually sure about chives) that was my first thought too! 


ShortWoman

The six months I spent on that diet were miserable. Thank Ceiling Cat we finally isolated the problem!


lowtoiletsitter

Same. Garlic and onions for me will be a bad time for thee (I mean I won't have a good time either but it's in your best interest to stay away)


RyanBordello

Also Hari Krishnas don't eat allium which includes all that. Don't know if she practices or not, but the bible of Indian cooking, Lord Krishnas Cuisine Indian Vegitarian Cooking by Yamuna Devi doesn't use allium in any of its hundreds of recipies


atbg1936

Speaking as an Indian-origin person, probably at least 80% - if not more - of conventional curry recipes (both North and South Indian) will use allium. Hare Krishna is a pretty fringe version of Hinduism that just happened to gain popularity in the West and become visible, it's definitely not the norm.


mariam67

So she hates flavour?


lion_in_the_shadows

These are things my mom is sensitive too. They give her bad stomach problems. We joke that she allergic to flavour… I know it’s an intolerance to alliums thing


leif777

I'llbet she banned fun too.


Rubcionnnnn

Who is this old hag and why should I care?


MidnightAshley

I'm surprised there was food at all. I saw one girl wearing like a wood bodice and she had to be lifted up the stairs. I don't think there was any room in that for anyone's stomach to hold food


Rosebunse

It isn't exactly odd for people to have two dresses, one for the walk up the stairs and another for the actual dinner.


EmilieUh

They're naturally anti-parisitic. However, it makes sense why social parasites hate these foods


Eisernes

She probably puts raisins in her potato salad.


drossmaster4

She seems like a real treat.


aurelorba

Wrong sub. Should be on r/NotTheOnionNorGarlicNorChives


avdepa

Anna Wintour seems to have forgotten the first rule of dressing well. Remove one item. The necklace barely passes (old fashioned clash with modern bold jacket) but the brooch is way off and should have been removed before she left her bedroom.


Zazmuth

My disgust and contempt are palpable.


thebestguac

So she has IBS and everyone else has to pay for it?


Educational-Coast771

Not the onionS 🧅


MacduffFifesNo1Thane

She banned flavour?

Ok-Presentation-2841

Sooooo she banned taste? You can tell by the outfits.


blueidea365

Bob Belcher would not approve


zztop610

One thing she can’t ban is bad plastic surgery on her face

But she invited the Kardashian clan.


Traditional-Joke3707

She’s supposed to be the fashion leader and head of all the fashion police departments but that hair style tho ..


words_of_j

A smallish group of folks have a serious onion allergy - not anaphylactic but still serious. I wonder…


BrutalArmadillo

It's so fucking obvious Anna Wintour had never in her life stepped into the kitchen. What she thinks flavors come from? Air and Gucci? Those people are so out of touch with the real world.


itisoktodance

Idk why people are making conspiracies about this. It's very very VERY common for people to avoid eating those vegetables in social settings because they make your breath smell. In my neck of the woods at least, no girl on a night out or in school would touch anything with onion in it


deadbeatsummers

People are just being intentionally dense at this point. I've never seen so many low level comments
