Sometimes, the difference between people comes from comparison.
My 
7-year-old - Daily consumption depends on not going out to save money, daily exercise depends on spicy food and sweating, and love experience depends entirely on CP:
Others' 1-year-old - Sitting on a net worth of 4 billion yuan, compared with myself The loyal dog who is 36 years younger is in love, and he has a pair of beautiful legs that I would never dare to imagine when I was 17 years old:
Yes, that’s right, the “girl” in the picture who was born in 1949 is already 71 this year Years old.
These slender and tight beautiful legs, this enviable thick hair, this fashionable dressing style, God is so unfair!
Her status of breaking through the age limit has attracted the envy of countless netizens:
"Is this 71 years old? My 17-year-old figure is not as good as hers."
This set of beautiful photos that have hit the circle of friends comes from Yu Chinese designer, the famous wedding dress queen Vera Wang. When
first saw this group of photos, her sister was amazed at how amazing she was, but also had some doubts. After all, Vera Wang's condition really did not meet the public's definition of "those in her seventies."
With this curiosity, I casually scrolled through her Instagram. This time, I was completely shocked by her!
Looking at this tight swimsuit photo without a trace of fat, I wouldn’t even dare to do that!
Vera Wang, who has slender limbs, is not shriveled and sickly thin. Look at this waistcoat line. Who would not want to kneel down and call her "Queen" after seeing it:
Due to the epidemic, this year's Met Gala can only be canceled, but Vera Wang respects fashion. But my heart didn't stop.
A few days ago, she took a set of 'Met'ing in Miami-themed pictures at home. Even wearing a mask, you can feel her queen-like aura:
But in fact, what is more amazing than her figure is her life .
In the eyes of many girls, "Vera Wang" is not only a name, but also a beautiful dream.
There has been a saying in foreign countries:
"Unmarried girls long for a Vera Wang, divorced girls miss that Vera Wang, and remarried girls are lucky to be able to wear Vera Wang again!"

Since starting her wedding dress empire in 1990, Vera Wang has "caused a wedding dress revolution in the American fashion industry" .

But few people know that the "Queen of Wedding Dresses" Vera Wang is actually a designer who became a monk halfway.
Vera Wang, who was born in New York, has been winning at the starting line since she was a child.
His father is an entrepreneur who made his fortune in the pharmaceutical industry, and his mother is a general and a translator for the United Nations.
Vera Wang has a good family background, but she is not willing to just be a rich girl who inherits the family business.
htmlWhen she was 08 years old, she had her first dream in life - to become a professional figure skater who could stand on the Olympic podium.
She is not as arrogant as the rich second generation in the popular impression. In order to realize her dream, she gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning to practice every day, and has not stopped for more than ten years.
However, Vera Wang, who has won many youth figure skating championships, missed the opportunity to be selected for the national team when she was 19 years old.
Due to age restrictions, her dream of figure skating had to be terminated.
worked hard and devoted 13 years to his dream, but it was forced to come to an end.
But Vera Wang’s wonderful life has just begun.
After bidding farewell to figure skating, Vera Wang went to the famous Sarah Lawrence College to study art history.
In her junior year of college, in order to earn tuition, she went to work as a part-time clerk in a YSL store, and thus met her boss, Frances Patiky Stein, the fashion director of the American version of "Vogue" magazine.
At that time, she did not know what a fashion editor did, but she missed her dream of figure skating and did not let the opportunity slip away from her hands this time.
She chose to enter "Vogue" and became the most ordinary intern.
Just like Hathaway in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada", Vera Wang's journey as a fashion editor is very hard:
I may have to work 16 to 18 hours for many days in a row, and when I need to shoot a blockbuster , I have to travel to different places, and I have to take care of everything around me...
sometimes have to make pictures. If others don't like the pictures, they have to take them again.
This hard work lasted for 16 years, and Vera Wang grew from an assistant to the youngest senior fashion editor in the history of "Vogue".
It’s already remarkable that his career has reached this point.
But Vera Wang's ambitions don't stop there.
html At the age of 239, , Vera Wang, who was already in her forties, resolutely chose to leave "Vogue" and join Ralph Lauren as the design director, starting a new life as a "designer".
"You have to keep moving forward in your own space, and that's where the challenge lies."
This spirit of constantly breaking through herself also paved the way for her to get married.
After working at Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang agreed to her boyfriend's proposal, but she couldn't find a wedding dress that satisfied her.
So, she simply bought silk, lace, sequins and other materials and made the wedding dress by herself.
This close-fitting, low-cut and simple wedding dress made Vera Wang the focus of the audience and gave her the idea of designing a wedding dress.
One year later, the wedding dress brand "Vera Wang" was born.
In the inspirational stories about characters we have written in the past, we always receive many messages from readers, many of which are like this:
"She is just relying on her family's money to be blessed!"
"If I had her background , it has already been successful!”
However, there are thousands of people born in Rome, but there is only one Vera Wang.
Looking back on her life, she realized that as long as she worked harder than others, her career would always take off.

She could obviously be a rich girl who could win, but she relied on her tenacity to build her own fashion kingdom.
For Vera Wang, age can never and should not be a constraint for women.
It doesn’t matter if the dream breaks at the age of 19, stand up again after falling;
There is nothing terrible about trying to change at the age of 40, stagnating means regression.
keeps climbing in career and is free and easy in love.
At the age of 63, Vera Wang divorced her husband of more than 20 years and fell in love with figure skater Evan Lysacek, who was 36 years younger than herself.
She has no scruples about the strange looks from the outside world, and openly shows her affection to her young boyfriend:
html She will not be depressed by this after her relationship broke off in 2006, and will continue to be a happy single rich woman.
During the quarantine, she would wear a skirt and dance happily at home like a child:
Work out, arrange flowers, and cook. At the age of 71, she still loves life:
Isn’t that what life is all about?
No matter what your age or situation, you should always live in a state of mind, rather than catering to others' expectations.
As long as the heart is still warm, even if we are seventy or eighty years old, who says that we cannot love, feel and experience?
What is gratifying is that there are more and more women like Vera Wang who live their lives without age restrictions.
You can be 40-year-old Elva Hsiao who is still enjoying love:
You can also be 48-year-old Yan Ni who makes herself beautiful through self-discipline:
50-year-old Faye Wong who can still be as happy as a girl at the age of 50:
You can still be 60-year-old without getting married. Yang Liping who lives her life as a legend:
Those women who are not bound by time are all people who have their own self in this era.
The so-called growth of age only allows them to shine differently at every point in their lives.
If you want to shine in your career, don’t be afraid of hardship and tiredness. Go ahead and fight bravely;
If you want to become beautiful, go to the gym. Every drop of sweat you shed and every minute you spend exercising will count. It's to distance yourself from your peers.
A woman’s confidence is given by herself.
May you be bright and brilliant at 17 years old, and may you be radiant at 70 years old.
