I don't know, maybe he's a big fan of the Barbie movie (now available on streaming on Amazon Prime videos) and is cosplaying as the Patriarchy. Not even a Ken, but like, the literal personification of the Patriarchy.

Cowboy and cowgirl costumes are fun to wear, but they are just that, costumes. The only acceptable reasons to pretend to be someone you're not on camera is either you get paid for it as your job, or if it is really, really funny.

I didn't hope to ever defend Bezos ever, but people can put on whatever hat they want without a reason.

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
