The former Vogue assistant accused of stealing $50,000 from Grace Coddington appeared in court in Manhattan on Wednesday after pleading not guilty to grand larceny.
Yvonne Bannigan, 25, appeared for a brief hearing with her attorney at Manhattan's Criminal Court for the first time since denying the charges earlier this summer.
She will return to court on November 7 when her lawyers will motion to dismiss the case against her.
Wearing a knee-length pussybow dress and black flats, she was emotionless as she made her way in and out of the courtroom.
Bannigan is accused of spending more than $50,000 on Coddington's credit card and pocketing $9,000 of profits from consigning the former Vogue creative director's designer goods with The Real Real.
Yvonne Bannigan, 25, appeared in court in Manhattan on Wednesday. She is charged with grand larceny for allegedly stealing $50,000 from her boss, Vogue editor-at-large Grace Coddington, over a two-year period while working as her assistant
She claims it is a 'misunderstanding'. Bannigan, who is from Dublin, Ireland, worked for Coddington between 2016 and 2018. Coddington is now the magazine's editor-at-large.
The dispute arose in April when she allegedly discovered the credit card transactions and confronted Bannigan.
She insists that she told her they were legitimate and to go to the police if she had any concerns.
Coddington followed suit and reported her allegations to the police. Bannigan was charged in May.
Her attorney Michael Cornacchia said Coddington was meticulous about checking her credit cards and would have known if she was being stolen from.
On Wednesday, he told DailyMail.com he was hopeful she would be vindicated at trial.

Bannigan's attorney said the allegations are 'misunderstanding' which he hopes will be explained away at trial. Grace Coddington (right) is Vogue's editor-at-large
'Today went well from our view since we can finally learn the specifics of the accusations by Grace Coddington and their bases, the alleged evidence of which, heretofore, has been solely in the possession of the prosecution.
'This being so, this is the beginning of addressing those charges and mounting Yvonne's defense which we believe will ultimately lead to her being found innocent of all accusations,' he said.
Earlier, he suggested Coddington would have noticed if her assistants had been doing anything untoward with credit cards because she checked her statements regularly.
Bannigan worked for the Vogue icon for two years. They are pictured together in a Twitter photograph from her account
'Never, ever during these two years did Coddington, who checked her credit card statements and kept track of her possessions, complain to Yvonne or anyone else about Yvonne's conduct or any misuse of credit cards or misappropriation of any of her property.
'In fact, Yvonne was the one who suggested that Coddington go to the police to report the questioned charges and Coddington went to the police the next day with Yvonne's encouragement,' he told The Irish Independent newspaper earlier this year.
Coddington has not commented on the scandal.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
