Can you imagine how intimidating it must have been to see Carine Roitfeld (formerly of French Vogue) show up at your fashion show wearing, essentially, a sleep mask?
I mean, THAT sends a message. Forget your sunglasses, Wintour. THIS is the power move. I look forward to seeing how Anna retaliates. Possibly by encasing herself in a tinted hyperbaric chamber.

I worry that these were perhaps… medically necessary? Did she have eye surgery or something?
Indeed, maybe she had Lasik. I had to wear something similar for 2-3 days afterwards.
She looks badass (in a good way).
Night vision goggles are clearly next. I can recommend the military-grade ones, and those two ought to be able to afford them.
If these are sunglasses, rather than goggles of some sort, I think this may be the exception to the rule that sunglasses make you look sexier.
Fresh from the Yoko Ono collection? She may have lost her carry-on with her makeup, but she could have found a comb anywhere.
Yes, if you go to an airport info desk they have little emergency kits with combs!
Looks homeless and smelly.
Are we sure this isn’t some high-fashion ode to Top Gun? Because I’m afraid the scroll-down will reveal a fashion-forward onesie flight-suit to go with her military-spec wrap-arounds.
Are we sure she didn’t just land her helicopter on the roof? Because that would explain a lot.
“Wintour gets carried down the stairs? Hah – I can FLY!!!”
A fashion ode to Top Gun would have more style than this. Their aviators were much better and though Charlie had frizzy hair, girl worked a seamed stocking.
Those are not more ridiculous than KANYE’s window blinds “sunglasses”… At least she can see through those!
I’m sorry to report that my Google-Fu is weak today. I cannot come up with any reason for these glasses, other than fashion. (They are being referred to as Aviators. Except I know some professional aviators. They wouldn’t wear these.)
The only thing I can think is that she was trying to keep in theme with Jean Paul Gaultier’s show – the theme being an homage to pop stars of the 80′s. I can’t remember any pop star being related to aviators in the 80′s, though. Tom Cruise from Top Gun, yes, but not pop stars.

They look like one of those black bars put across the faces of fashion “Don’ts.”
Looks like a young, really young Anna Wintour.
I think those are Rick Owens.
She’s got great teeth!
Are you all too young to remember these sunglasses from the 80′s?
