Newhouse became a steadfast supporter, offering Carter the creative and financial autonomy to flourish at the helm of Vanity Fair. Under Carter’s leadership, the magazine was visually defined by Annie Leibovitz’s iconic photography and editorially shaped by features like the “New Establishment” and the annual Hollywood issue. He also extended the magazine’s influence to Los Angeles with the creation of its famed Oscar party.
