Vera Wang Shares Rare Makeup-Free Selfie Amid Age-Defying Appearances

Vera Wang, the renowned 77-year-old fashion designer, has shared a rare makeup-free selfie, offering a candid glimpse into her life beyond the red carpet. The image, posted to Instagram, shows Wang in bed, stating she was feeling unwell and "sneezing a lot."

This personal post comes after a series of public appearances where Wang has garnered attention for her youthful and age-defying looks. In June, she celebrated her 77th birthday, showcasing a striking transformation that included a blonde hairstyle, a departure from her signature dark brunette locks. The birthday photos depicted her with a chic, shoulder-length bob and a smooth visage, leading many to comment on her remarkably youthful appearance.

Wang has previously experimented with blonde hair, notably at the Met Gala in May, where she sported platinum locks.

The fashion icon has spoken about her approach to aging, dismissing ageism as "so old-fashioned" and emphasizing the importance of continuous growth. In a 2022 interview, she cited her "magic elixir" for staying youthful as work, combined with a vodka cocktail and approximately nine hours of sleep per day.

Wang also humorously mentioned that her diet includes McDonald's and donuts, such as cream-filled or jelly donuts, and pink donuts with sprinkles. She has previously stated that working keeps her "mind, body and soul" youthful, and that getting adequate sleep is crucial for her well-being. Wang, who has been in the fashion industry since her youth, previously aspired to be a figure skater before becoming a fashion editor at Vogue and eventually launching her own label. Despite the attention on her appearance, Wang has expressed a desire not to have her work overshadowed by discussions about her aging.
