Zena Mary MacMillan Cherry (6 October 1915 – 22 January 2000) was a Canadian journalist known best for her society column "After a Fashion," which she wrote for the Globe and Mail from 1955 to 1987.

During the 32 years she wrote the column, Cherry gained the reputation as the primary chronicler of Toronto's establishment.

He descended from Colonel Gordon MacMillan, who had come to Canada with the army of James Wolfe in 1759, and later settled in Nova Scotia.

She wrote her first column under her own name on 17 March 1938, detailing the St. Patrick's Ball held by the Irish Regiment of Canada.

[7] She returned in February 1955 and wrote three columns, then began in late June to write a regular piece.

Peter C. Newman, author of The Canadian Establishment, wrote, In 1967, Cherry caused a commotion at the paper accidentally.

[10][11] Several of the residents were married men who had not told their wives they had taken out apartments in the city, and threatened the Globe with injunctions.

"[12] Cherry's final column in the Globe appeared on 31 December 1987, detailing a brunch held by Knowlton Nash.

[17] Cherry's obituary noted that "she was not a great or even a good writer and was the despair of Globe copy editors, who had to wrestle with the list of names that were her column's raison d'être.

Until he retired in 1982, her column seldom appeared without first being 'Martinized' by Martin Lynch, an eccentric genius who was a senior editor with a passion for accuracy that compensated for Mrs. Cherry's shortcomings.
