Australian fashion journalist Margaret Zhang made a style statement while attending Milan Fashion Week on Thursday.

The 30-year-old, editor-in-chief of Vogue China, sported bright blue hair as she arrived at the Max Mara show.

She looked stylish in an oversized gray shirt and a black silk skirt with a slit and fringe as she strutted through the streets.

Margaret completed her ensemble with a pair of yellow snakeskin boots and several gold necklaces.

The fashion journalist wore dark sunglasses and held her phone in her hands as she arrived at the event.

Margaret became Vogue’s youngest-ever senior editor in 2021 when she took on the role of editor-in-chief at Vogue China at just 27 years old.

She succeeded founding editor Angelica Cheung, who launched the Chinese edition of the fashion bible 15 years ago.

Although she’s never worked in-house at a magazine, the Instagram fashionista was given the nod by Anna Wintour, global editorial director of Vogue and chief content officer of Condé Nast.

Ms. Wintour said: “Margaret creates content across so many different platforms and brings a new perspective and voice to Vogue China.”

“When Angelica Cheung founded Vogue China 15 years ago, she brilliantly broke new ground, and now Margaret will continue that tradition and lead the incredibly creative and influential fashion culture in China.”

Weeks before her appointment was confirmed, there were rumors of Margaret’s rise to the top of the masthead. Fashion blogger Bryanboy tweeted the news ahead of time, while Vogue China replied saying they had nothing to share yet.

A model and photographer, she started her blog Shine By Three in 2009 at the age of 16 and soon became a regular at fashion weeks around the world.

She was named Elle’s Digital Influencer of the Year in 2015 and appeared on Forbes’ “30 Under 30 Asia” and Time Out’s “40 Under 40” lists in 2016.

The business and law graduate’s work has been published in L’Officiel, Harper’s Bazaar, Nylon, Marie Claire and Elle.
