Vera Wang Shares Rare Makeup-Free Selfie While Ill

Fashion icon Vera Wang, 77, offered her followers a rare glimpse into her off-duty life by sharing a makeup-free selfie from her bed on a Saturday. Wang, who was recuperating from a head cold, captioned the image, "STUCK in my bed sneezing a lot….. so staying here …..my real office. !🙏👏🛏️📥" The post showcased the designer without her signature dark eyeshadow.

By Tuesday, Wang appeared to be back to her usual routine, sharing updates from the back of a car and an office lobby, complete with high heels and sunglasses. Her social media typically features highlights of her public appearances and busy work schedule, including recent appearances at Anna Sui's New York Fashion Week show and a chat with Maria Sharapova at the US Open.

Wang's public image often involves striking fashion statements, such as baring her midriff in a bra top and low-slung skirt at the Fragrance Foundation Awards in June. She also celebrated her 77th birthday in Paris wearing a blonde wig and a white halter gown.

In the past, Wang has shared her secrets to maintaining her look, attributing it to "Work, sleep, a vodka cocktail [and] not much sun."
