Fashion designer Vera Wang marked her 77th birthday with a striking new look, sporting a blonde bob that significantly altered her appearance. The designer shared images from her birthday celebration on Instagram, where she was seen blowing out candles on a cake adorned with the number '77'.
Wang, typically known for her dark brunette hair, embraced a lighter shade for the occasion. The blonde hair was styled in a shoulder-length, pin-straight blunt-cut bob, with bangs tucked behind her ears. This change in hairstyle made her nearly unrecognizable to some observers. Wang has previously experimented with lighter hair colors, notably appearing with platinum locks at the Met Gala in May.
For her birthday, Wang also wore a sleeveless white halter dress, a style that highlighted her figure. Her smooth facial appearance was also noted, contributing to a youthful look described as decades younger than her 77 years.
Wang has previously spoken about her approach to aging and her appearance, attributing her youthful look to a combination of factors. In a 2022 interview, she cited her work as a "magic elixir," along with a vodka cocktail and approximately nine hours of sleep per day. She also humorously mentioned consuming McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts regularly.
She has expressed a desire to avoid being defined solely by her age-defying looks, stating that she finds ageism "so old-fashioned" and emphasizes the importance of continuous personal growth. Wang has been a prominent figure in the fashion industry for decades, starting her career at Vogue before launching her own eponymous label.
