On Wednesday, former Vogue assistant Yvonne Bannigan, 26, was sentenced to three years probation after she admitted to stealing thousands of dollars from Grace Coddington. She wore a black-and-white polka-dot dress to the the court hearing.

Bannigan, who worked for the legendary Vogue editor for two years, was accused of stealing a total of $53,564, mostly through charges to Coddington’s credit cards. She was also accused of selling Coddington’s property on The RealReal. Bannigan was charged with second- and third-degree grand larceny, but pleaded guilty to one count of fourth-degree grand larceny.

News of Bannigan’s arrest broke late last May shortly after Jessica Pressler’s New York exposé on fake German heiress Anna Delvey was published, helping to kick off what was dubbed the “Summer of Scam.” Irish-born Bannigan had reportedly worked at Vogue for a short amount of time before becoming Coddington’s assistant in 2016.
