Mixed Messages From Vogue - I'm So Confused

Is Vogue style schizophrenic?
Vogue.com gives us the August Best Dressed List including these two images of Leigh Lezark, whoever she is and Beyonce.
Are these the kind of clothes that you have to wear to make it to Vogue's Best Dressed List?


And then we have the Classic Revival in the Vogue print issue featuring these 1960s -1970s inspired looks, clean lines, reasonably sized ladylike bags, tasteful good jewelry.
Why is Vogue all over the place?  
Doesn't Anna Wintour have a clear fashion vision or is she trying to be everything to everyone?
BTW, I'm thrilled that we are finally moving back towards classic styles, although there is nothing elegant about those chunky heeled yellow shoes.
Is anyone besides me getting a Ali McGraw 'The Getaway' - Faye Dunaway 'Thomas Crown Affair' vibe from these fashions?
