All together now: The Ambassador Wears Prada?

Anna Wintour -- editor in chief of Vogue and inspiration for the book and film The Devil Wears Prada, is reportedly a possibility for ambassador to the United Kingdom or France.

Bloomberg News reports that Obama is considering Wintour "as he looks to reward his biggest fundraisers with embassies never out of fashion, according to two people familiar with the matter."

White House officials declined to comment on the report.

"I have no personnel announcements," said Obama spokesman Jay Carney. "I'll leave it at that."

Also from Bloomberg:

"Wintour, 63, may have some competition for the London posting; Matthew Barzun, finance chairman of Obama's presidential campaign, also is interested in the job, officially known as ambassador to the Court of St. James, said the people, who requested anonymity when discussing possible personnel moves.

"Both Wintour and Barzun were among Obama's biggest bundlers of donations in the campaign, with each raising more than $500,000 to help re-elect the president. Marc Lasry, the managing partner and founder of Avenue Capital Management, also wants the Paris embassy, said the people."

Many of Obama's current ambassadors are not expected to serve second terms.
