Vera Wang's age-defying looks are captivating social media, leaving fans stunned at her seemingly perpetual youthfulness. The celebrated New York-born entrepreneur - who turns 74 today - frequently shares the secrets behind her youthful glow.
Her appearance is undoubtedly a testament to her exceptional genes, but she reveals that her secrets to ageing gracefully go beyond frequent gym visits or a strict diet regimen. During an eye-opening interview with BBC 100 Women last year, she discussed the ageism she experienced after garnering online attention for her vibrant looks.
Wang unveiled her two key ingredients for maintaining her zest for life: a good night's sleep and a relaxing vodka cocktail to transition from a "very intense work schedule" to her "bit of a private life."
Throughout the interview, Wang candidly acknowledged the influential role her career in fashion played in preserving her youthful aura. "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 stated.
Her approach to dealing with ageing is both productive and inspiring: "I more envision them as my muses, and maybe it's a way of dealing with ageing that is productive. So I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work - work is the magic elixir," Wang shared. The acclaimed designer, known for working with celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani, and Mariah Carey, also affirmed that she never obsessively went out of her way to maintain her youthful appearance.
In an earlier 2016 conversation with Harper's Bazaar, Wang detailed her workout regime, which surprisingly comprises short, consistent bouts of exercise. "I usually lift weights, not much - two pounds and three pounds. It takes me a total of five minutes," she divulged, adding that one thing she never misses is a nourishing lunch.
Her eclectic lunch menu varies from sashimi with brown rice and vegetables to Chinese steamed broccoli with chicken and rice, or an artichoke salad or fish from Sant Ambroeus. As part of her healthy lifestyle, she also shifted her beverage preference from Diet Coke to water back in 2010, labeling it as "the hardest thing I ever gave up."
So, Vera Wang's secret to a youthful appearance? A five-minute weightlifting session and a wind-down vodka cocktail. Here's hoping that adopting her regime may sprinkle a dash of her timeless elegance on us all!
