I didn't hope to ever defend Bezos ever, but people can put on whatever hat they want without a reason.
It's not just the hat. It's posing in a vintage American pickup truck with the American West in the background. It's a persona that has no correlation to this man and has been used for decades as a marketing ploy to sell cigarettes and other garbage so I'm immediately suspect and judgy.
of course, and everyone is free to have some glamour shots taken of them just for funsies, regardless of what they're wearing. What puzzles me though is why vogue is posting this
I've never read Vogue, but doesn't it have a celebrity on the front of every issue?
there are plenty of celebrities far more deserving of a puff piece like this, but of course they don't have as many zeroes so I guess bezos it is
