Vera Wang recently celebrated her 76th birthday, and it’s always astonishing when you look at her latest Instagram photos. This designer seems to defy aging, at least in appearance. Has she discovered the fountain of youth?

Vera Wang Celebrates Herself

Another year has passed. Last year, Vera Wang kicked off her birthday with a childhood photo on Instagram. In the black-and-white photo, she wore a patterned dress and looked shyly at the camera. She captioned it: “Circa 1956.” The designer would be about five years old in the photo.

This year, she posted a series of new photos from her birthday party in Paris. The designer celebrated with friends at the restaurant Le Relais Plaza and chose the little black dress! Wang seems to have no problem with her age–not only was a large 76 placed on her birthday cake, but a glittering 76 also adorned her upper arm.

Fans Discuss Vera Wang

As always, Vera Wang’s appearance sparks plenty of discussions–some celebrate her and her youthful look, while others remain skeptical. Instagram comments include: “She’s almost 80 and trying to look 20. She needs to stop and just look her age. This is Photoshop or something because it’s not a sharp image.” And: “Sorry, but it’s not normal to look like that over 70.”

How the Designer Stays Young

Whether she’s had help or not, the fact is, Vera Wang looks great. But what is the designer’s beauty secret, some wonder? She gave a small insight a few years ago. On Instagram, she once said: “Work, sleep, vodka, and not much sun, those are my secrets.”

And when it comes to diet, her credo doesn’t necessarily lie in healthy eating. In 2023, she told Page Six: “Of course I eat at McDonald’s. I order it every other day for about two weeks, and then I change it again.” Donuts are also her weakness. “I like the cream-filled and sugar-coated donut, and I also like the pink one with sprinkles.”

She also explained that working in the fashion business keeps her young. “Basically, I’ve worked my whole life, it’s always been about work. I think work keeps you young and motivated. I work very long hours, I’ve raised two daughters. Staying busy is the best antidote for good health.”
