"Those are three things I'm not particularly fond of," said Wintour, lead organizer of Monday's star-studded, fashion-themed dinner at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

She also revealed that attendees are not permitted to bring cell phones to the event.

"It's often wonderful to hear people say after dinner, 'Oh, we had the most wonderful conversations.' That's the idea, that life can exist without a picture on your cell phone," Wintour said.
