LONDON, United KingdomAnna Wintour, the British-born editor-in-chief of American Vogue, was made a dame by Britain's Queen Elizabeth on Friday for services to fashion and journalism.

Wintour, 67, has been at the helm of the magazine for almost 30 years, a reign that has made her one of the most influential voices in fashion.

Wintour told reporters that the queen had struggled to pin her award to her clothing.

"She couldn't find where to put the brooch," she told the BBC.
