Anna Wintour, complete with the world's most famous pristine bob has taken the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and nominated Roger Federer and Dominic West to do the challenge within 24 hours.

She was nominated by her daughter, Bee Shaffer.

'I Anna Wintour, with my family, accept my daughter Bee's ALS ice bucket challenge, and I nominate Roger Federer and Dominic West,' the unremitting 64-year-old American Vogue editor states in the video. The video was posted to the publication's Facebook page from her Hamptons home in Mastic.

Within hours the video had been seen by thousands of people and had attracted thousands of comments. The Ice Bucket Challenge is in aid of the ALS Association.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.
