View original imageWorld-renowned designer Vera Wang, known for her youthful appearance, recently drew attention once again by appearing ageless at a public event at the age of 76. Despite being well into her seventies, her smooth skin and fit physique led online users to express admiration, with comments such as "She looks like she's in her forties."
On May 4 (local time), the 2026 Met Gala was held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Since its inception in 1948, the event has designated a special dress code each year based on a chosen theme. This year's Met Gala dress code was "Fashion is Art." Some predicted that there would be many revealing outfits, as certain celebrities consider their own bodies to be works of art themselves.
That day, Vera Wang showcased a daring black dress, her signature color. She wore a low-rise black skirt paired with a choker, creating a unique silhouette that caught everyone's attention.

Born in June 1949, Vera Wang is a Chinese-American who was born and raised in New York. She began her career as an editor at Vogue and later joined Ralph Lauren, before launching her own brand, VW Vera Wang, at the age of 40. Many famous figures, including Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, and Michelle Obama, have worn her wedding dresses.
Vera Wang is known for her remarkable youthful appearance, which she attributes to strict self-care.
