Vera Wang turned heads at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Fashion Awards, radiating a youthful energy that belied her 76 years. She confidently stepped onto the red carpet in a daring ensemble – a tiny black crop top paired with a flowing, opalescent white maxi skirt.
The designer’s outfit was a study in contrasts, blending simplicity with undeniable glamour. The off-shoulder sleeves of the top cascaded around her elbows, adding a touch of elegance to the otherwise minimalist look. Dark, square-shaped sunglasses shielded her eyes from the flashing cameras.
The ensemble showcased her figure, highlighting a physique that continues to defy expectations. Her long, straight brown hair, parted in the center, completed the look, framing a face that seems untouched by time.
This isn’t the first instance of Wang sparking conversation about her ageless appearance. Last year, at the Baftas, a similar cropped outfit – a bralette and silk dress – led fans to declare her “immortal.”
The reaction isn’t new; at the 2022 CDFA awards, observers insisted she was aging in reverse, having seemingly discovered the secret to eternal youth. Wang herself has acknowledged the surprise surrounding her vitality.
A viral photo from 2020, showcasing her toned abs and long legs in a crop top and shorts, initially stunned the internet. She confessed she was more focused on the hair clips in the picture than the impact of her physique.
Wang revealed she expected attention on the crystal hair clips, not her workout attire. The unexpected focus on her body was, in her words, “crazy,” especially for someone who typically prefers to be the creator, not the subject.
She admitted to being “shocked” by the attention, acknowledging that she had always seen herself as the artist behind the scenes. The outpouring of praise for her appearance was a surprising turn for the celebrated designer.
