Vera Wang has left her fans in awe after sharing a selection of swimsuit snaps on Memorial Day.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the legendary fashion designer showed off her youthful looks and slender figure as she posed poolside in a white bathing suit, complete with stylish sunglasses.
She caption the post to her 900,000+ followers: “My SLIM AARONS moment …Happy Summer!!!”
And Wang may as well have been posing at the Fountain of Youth itself, as she looked nowhere near her age, which just so happens to be… you won’t believe me… honestly… she’s 74!
Fans flooded the comments section with praise for the designer and business mogul, with one person writing: “Time bows down to you and stops moving.”
A second admirer added: “HOW is it possible you look like this. I need to put down the slice of pizza immediately.”
Others hailed Wang as “amazing”, “stunning”, and showered her with countless flame emojis.
And this certainly isn’t the first time Wang has sent social media into a frenzy regarding her ageless appearance – with fans long begging the designer for her beauty tips.
Well, ask and you shall receive, because Vera’s secret to looking so youthful is actually very achievable.
In 2022, Wang participated in an interview for BBC 100 Women, where she candidly discussed the comments she’s received amid the online attention over her youthful appearance.
During the interview Wang said that – other than having a good night’s sleep – another thing she “values” is having a vodka cocktail at the end of the day, as it helps her “transition from a very intense work schedule” to a “bit of a private life”.
Elsewhere during the discussion, Wang admitted that her role in the fashion industry has helped contribute to her youthful appearance. “I’ve been in fashion since I was 19 years old. Not in front of the camera, behind it. I never thought about youth, probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis,” she said.
“And because of that I more envision them as my muses, and maybe it’s a way of dealing with aging that is productive. So I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work – work is the magic elixir,” she added.
That’s funny, because I work hard and yet I look like one of those hairless sphynx cats.
Another thing Wang is partial to is a McDonald’s (again, much like myself).
Speaking to Page Six at the DKMS Gala earlier this year, Vera admitted: “I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely, I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change.”
She added that she also loves to get a Dunkin’ Donut, revealing: “I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut. It’s like a jelly donut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too.”
It’s not all good eating though, as she also revealed that her strong work ethic also helps to keep her young in body and mind, explaining: “Basically, I’ve worked my whole life, so it’s really been about work.
“I think work keeps you young and stimulated. I work very long hours, I’ve raised two daughters. I think keeping busy is the best antidote [for] good health.”
She had previously espoused the benefits of working over retiring, telling Elle that her company, which she started at the age of 40, keeps her young in “mind, body, and soul.”
So, vodka, McDonald’s, donuts, and work… all I need is the sleep and I’ll look like a baby.
