Anna Wintour’s ice-cold moment

LONDON — Unless you have successfully avoided all forms of social media, or indeed online media (if so, well done), for the past few days, you won’t have failed to notice that many a celebrities have been dousing themselves with a bucket full of ice-cold water.

Why? In the United States, it’s to raise money for the ALS Association — a donation is expected alongside the completion of the task; while elsewhere around the world, celebs are also donating to their favourite charities, from cancer awareness (such as the Singapore Cancer Society) to the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

So, with billionaire business moguls, actors and singers already ticked off the list, it was only a matter of time before the fashion fraternity got in on the action.

Not surprisingly, some of the world’s top models such as the ever-game Cara Delevingne gave it a go. Then came Suki Waterhouse, Kate Upton (no stranger to a wet T-shirt), Gisele Bundchen and Victoria’s Secret Angel Behati Prinsloo, who then nominated fellow Angel Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Gigi Hadid, Andreka Pejic and Karolina Kurkova. Thankfully, all appear to be in sunnier climes, so they probably enjoyed that chill factor.

And then 67-year-old designer Diane von Furstenberg got in on the action, taking part on board a luxury yacht. And now Anna Wintour (nominated by Gisele) has taken the Ice Bucket Challenge. The American Vogue editor-in-chief called upon seven young members of her family to help her fulfil the task and even took two buckets of water over her famous bob. She then nominated tennis player Roger Federer and actor Dominic West. Someone please just nominate Karl Lagerfeld. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
