MailOnline reached out to Anne for comment.

North was later seen leaving the show in the arms of her doting mother, still having a bit of a tantrum and proving she’s clearly not a fan of fashion shows just yet. 

Meanwhile, Wintour is known as one of the most formidable forces in the fashion publishing industry and, famed for her frosty persona, she was the inspiration for her former assistant Lauren Weisberger’s book (and subsequent movie) The Devil Wears Prada.

The US Vogue editor-in-chief has a reputation for being fierce and unforgiving in the workplace, and her opinions in the fashion industry matter more than any other.

The English-born journalist, however, previously claimed that she isn’t as harsh as she is made out to seem.

Speaking in 2011, at the time revealing Vogue fly-on-the-wall docu-film The September Issue was released, she said:

‘I assure you all the people that work with me on a day-to-day basis don’t think that [I’m intimidating]. That’s just something that’s been fabricated by the media.

‘And as you well know once something is out there, particularly in today’s world, it just gets exaggerated. I keep my head down and do the job to the best of my ability.’

However, the film – which followed the making of the annual and highly important September issue -showed Anna to be a hardworking yet ruthless editor, even going so far as to tell designer Miuccia Prada to change the fabric in her collection.

It also showed several steely altercations with creative director Grace Coddington, highlighting their tense working relationship.

So the world was duly stunned when, last year, she chose to put Kim Kardashian on the front cover of the fashion tome after previously seeming wildly unimpressed with her.

It was the reality star’s first US Vogue cover; the mother-of-one appeared alongside Kanye under the headline, #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple.

It provoked a mixed reaction, with some critics questioning why Wintour would put a reality star on the front of the prestigious fashion bible.  

Afterwards, the 65-year-old justified her decision, but in a seemingly backhanded way which some took to mean she was suggesting Kim wasn’t ‘tasteful’.
