Who Is Sara Moonves? W Magazine's New Editor Has Long Been A Style Socialite

For the first time in the publication's 47-year history, a woman is at the helm.

And though she's certainly put in the work to become highly respected in the industry, there's no denying the fact that Moonves is certified media royalty - that last name does indeed sound familiar.
