Fans have always been curious about the secret behind Vera Wang's youthful appearance. And now, the answer has been revealed, and it may surprise you.
During her attendance at the DKMS gala on October 19, the 74-year-old designer candidly shared with Page Six that she doesn't follow strict dietary restrictions. She even admitted to enjoying McDonald's, stating, "I do eat McDonald's, absolutely. I order it every day for around two weeks, and then I switch things up."
Wang isn't limited to just McDonald's; she's also a fan of Dunkin' Donuts. "I enjoy the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut," she shared. "It's similar to a jelly donut, but with a creamy vanilla filling. I also like the pink ones with sprinkles."
During her interview with Page Six, Wang expressed her belief that hard work contributes to her youthful mindset. "Essentially, I've dedicated my entire life to work, so it has truly been a focus for me. I believe that staying engaged in work keeps you young and motivated," she explained. She added, "I put in long hours and raised two daughters. I believe staying busy is the key to good health."

In 2020, Vera Wang caused a sensation among her followers on Instagram by sharing a picture of herself wearing an orange sports bra and white denim shorts. Despite being 70 years old at the time, many would be forgiven for assuming that the renowned designer was actually much younger.
Fans rushed to the comments section, completely amazed by her timeless beauty. One commentator exclaimed, "It's impossible! It defies biology to have absolutely no wrinkles or sagging skin at seventy. Are you trying to fool us, or are you from another planet?!"

In an interview with Elle, published on March 16, the designer expressed her indifference towards seeking approval for her appearance. She was flattered by the perception of her aging well but clarified that it was never her intention. Wang attributed her apparent youthful appearance to her lifestyle choices of consuming vodka, prioritizing sleep, and avoiding sun exposure. However, she emphasized her desire to not be categorized or limited in her work.
Later in the interview, Wang addressed the public's fixation on her looks, which she believes raises the issue of ageism. She personally was never preoccupied with the concept of aging and acknowledged that the present-day availability of procedures like Botox did not exist half a century or more ago.
