World Trade Center security stops Stallone from visiting Vogue

Not even Sylvester Stallone can get past the gilded gates of Vogue at their new downtown offices at 1 World Trade Center.
The legendary star was turned away last week when he brought his 16-year-old model daughter Sistine Rose Stallone to meet editors at the fashion bible based at the high-security 1WTC.
Condé Nast sources tell us that Sly and beautiful Sistine — who is signed to LA Models — had been due to meet Sara Moonves, a contributing fashion editor at Vogue and daughter of media mogul Les Moonves, a longtime friend of Sly.
But even for Stallone, getting up to the Vogue office was tougher than going 12 rounds with Apollo Creed. An insider told us: “There was confusion about which entrance to use at 1 World Trade Center, then Sly and his group were held up at security. They couldn’t reach the right person at Vogue’s offices to get them immediate clearance to go straight up.”

But the source added, “Sly was a complete gentleman about it and didn’t make a scene. They waited, and when it became clear they couldn’t go up to the Vogue office, they left.” But another source insisted, “Security never told Vogue that Sly Stallone was waiting downstairs.”
We’re told the meeting will be rescheduled when Sly and his family visit New York again in upcoming weeks. Reps for the actor — who is currently in post-production on his new Rocky movie “Creed” and will return for “The Expendables 4” in 2016 — didn’t comment last night, and Vogue also declined to comment.
Sistine, the daughter of Stallone, 68, and model Jennifer Flavin, already has a Teen Vogue photo shoot under her belt, and says of her mother, “She’s like my wingman. She’s taught me my good side, my bad side, how to walk for the runway, and how to become someone else in a certain outfit . . . Modeling is basically acting, changing personalities. You don’t want to be yourself.”
The “Rocky” icon is supportive of his daughter’s career and posted a shot of himself and Sistine on Instagram captioned, “My daughter modeling. She’s trying very hard to attain her dreams.”
