Vera Wang often amazes her fans with how young she appears, and the designer has shared the key to staying young—something no one would have guessed.
You may think that the 76-year-old fashion icon would declare that she eats very little, doesn’t drink @lcohol, and spends hours at the gym to keep her toned body and youthful skin.
But you’ll be happy to know that it’s not any of those things.
The designer said that she eats McDonald’s every day, likes cream-filled pastries, and drinks v0dka cocktails instead.
At the DKMS Gala in New York in March 2024, Vera told Page Six, “I definitely eat McDonald’s.” Every day I order it, and after about two weeks, I’ll change.
She also said that she enjoys getting a Dunkin’ Donut and said, “I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut.” It has vanilla cream inside, like a jelly donut. I also like the pink with sprinkles.
She also said that her strong work ethic helps keep her young in body and mind. She said, “Basically, I’ve worked my whole life, so it’s really been about work.”
I believe that work keeps you youthful and interested. I work a lot of hours and have two daughters. I think the greatest way to stay healthy is to stay busy.
She has previously talked about how working is better than retiring. She told Elle that her firm, which she started when she was 40, keeps her fresh in “mind, body, and soul.”
Vera noted back then, “Work was my lifeline that kept me feeling important and challenged me over the years.”
I suppose the mind is stronger than anyone can imagine. The problems that work and life throw to us are what keep us going.
Vera told People before that she loves a drink of v0dka at the end of the day, saying, “One of the things I’m known to like to do is have a v0dka cocktail.” I do, without a doubt. I drink v0dka at some point between five and six, usually around seven.
Staying out of the sun, which is known to speed up aging, is another thing she thinks is very crucial for looking this wonderful into your 70s and beyond. She also says you should get nine hours of sleep every night and be well rested.
She also said that while the world is concerned with her looks, she isn’t too “preoccupied” with them herself. However, she did say she is “frightened” about getting older in other ways.
I suppose that as you get older, things happen… She told the Daily Mail, “I’m more scared of physical disabilities than all this.”
I’m not always worried about how I look. I love my job and am very passionate about it. I also love my friends, my girls, and my life in general.
It seems like she knows what she’s doing!
Fans constantly leave comments on Vera’s Instagram saying how young she appears, and her most recent images are no different.
Fans can’t get over how young she appears, from a picture shared in August 2025 of her all dressed up and ready for a martini to a picture of her relaxing in the sun for Chinese Valentine’s Day.
