The most impressive set of photos in the past two days should be that of Vera Wang, who suddenly became popular on hot searches. The reason for being on the list is also very simple. At the age of 71, she now looks like this:
You heard it right, Vera Wang, a Chinese fashion designer born in 1949, is really 71 years old this year. But in this daily photo, if nothing else, at least the figure is maintained so convincingly.
At the age where she is old enough to be a grandmother, Vera Wang puts on a swimsuit and in the words of netizens, she looks like she is in her early 30s. Not to mention a trace of fat on the body, even the skin has a rare sense of firmness and light.
In other photos on her social media, Vera Wang has always shown a current young people's attitude towards dressing. Whether it is style design or color matching, her style is fashionable and reasonable.
Although the traces of age can still be seen at a glance in some recent facial photos, compared to the age of 71, Vera Wang is definitely a top-level maintenance person.
No wonder everyone lamented on Weibo: "What kind of elixir did you take to maintain it like this?"
Speaking of Vera Wang Wang Weiwei , the first thing that everyone thinks of is not her herself, but the one she designed. Wedding dress. It is no exaggeration to say that not only in the fashion circle, but also in the hearts of ordinary people, Vera Wang's wedding dresses are quite palace-like. There is still a rumor in the market: if you go to Vera Wang to try on a wedding dress, you have to pay a trial fee of 2,000 yuan. OK. (No longer used)
The most classic line in "Sex and the City", apart from Carrie blurting out "Jimmy Choo" when she was robbed by the robber, is Charlotte's sentence: "After wearing Vera Wang, how dare you say dirty words ? ! "
Vera Wang also played the role of a genius designer in "Gossip Girl":
When we look at Shi Tai Yishu's works, the heroine's character and experience are all different, but whenever she wants to get married When shopping for weddings, there is a sentence that always appears frequently: "Call and go to Vera Wang in New York for an engagement dress."
In the real world, just count, at the wedding ceremonies of celebrities, Vera Wang's appearance is well deserved. The king of. Victoria Beckham , Carina Lau, Coco Lee... Many of the wedding dresses of top domestic and foreign stars are designed by Vera Wang, which shows her influence in the industry.
Not just a wedding dress, Vera Wangâs dress. Hailey wore a Vera Wang white satin dress at her wedding party with Bieber last year.
And Vera Wangâs life experience along the way is as exciting as her design works. From the moment she was born, Vera Wang got the script of "Winner in Life". She was born in a wealthy area of ââNew York and has a very outstanding family background. Her mother was a translator for the United Nations, and her father graduated from MIT . Later, he and his friends founded a company in the United States, with businesses including telecommunications equipment, oil refining, daily necessities, and pharmaceuticals.
Their family has owned real estate all over the world for a long time, and they are all in the best areas in each place. Park Avenue in Manhattan, Southampton in the UK, Palm Beach in Florence, and various properties in Hong Kong and Shanghai have allowed Vera Wang to travel around the world with her parents since she was a child, and her mother often flew to Paris. Participate in various high-end ready-to-wear fashion conferences. Donât underestimate the influence of this kind of influence. Just like Zhang Xiaohui who visited Lane Crawford at the age of 7, a good fashion aesthetic has been laid in their hearts very early.

But little Vera Wangâs dream at the beginning was not in the fashion circle, but she always wanted to be a professional figure skating athlete. Since she was 8 years old, she has been getting up at 6 o'clock every day to practice on the ice. After training, she starts studying in class for the day. After school, she has to go to professional skating practice. She has won championships in various youth figure skating competitions.But when she competed in the U.S. Figure Skating Finals at the age of 19, she still failed. Because of her age, she was unable to fulfill her dream of entering the national team.
After regretting giving up figure skating, Vera Wang did not go to the business school of Yale University as her father expected to prepare for inheriting the family fortune in the future. Instead, she decided to pick up the fashion that she had been interested in since she was a child, resolutely ignoring her family. Despite his objections, he flew to Paris to study art history.
Vera Wang later recalled in an interview that her father was very angry at the time and cut off all her living expenses, but she still insisted on doing what she liked. In order to make money, Vera Wang would go to the Yves Saint Laurent store every summer vacation. Worked part-time as a store clerk.
Because of this part-time job, she met her first noble person in the fashion industry.
One day, after a customer finished shopping under her introduction, he handed her a business card: "Call me after graduation!" Vera Wang looked down and saw that it was actually a business card from the American version of Vogue. The person who gave her the business card was the fashion director of American Vogue at the time.
Obviously, Vera Wangâs good aesthetics and matching skills developed since childhood attracted the attention of the fashion director. After graduation, she became the youngest fashion editor in the history of Vogue, at the age of 23.
You need to know that even now, for a profession like fashion editing, where talent and professional aesthetics are indispensable, the entry requirements are very high, and the internship time is calculated as one or two years. Therefore, Vera Wang, who was able to join Vogue as a full-time fashion editor as soon as she graduated, can be said to be the greatest recognition of her fashion potential.
Just like this, in the fashion magazine that has always been called the "Shura Field of the Fashion Circle", Vera Wang has gone from being a small editor to a stock-holding employee, and is only one step away from becoming the editor-in-chief of the American version of Vogue.
However, Anna Wintour, who was fighting with her at the time, was still more skilled in the direction of fashion content, so after failing to compete for the editor-in-chief position, Vera Wang took the initiative to submit a letter of resignation. However, the two people did not form a feud after the fight. Vera Wang and Anna are still very close to this day, and there are no problems in their relationship.
After leaving, Vera Wang came to Ralph Lauren, successfully took the position of design director, and began to work hard in fashion design.
At this time, Vera Wang only had work in mind, and even said: "I think I will always be a nun in the fashion industry. Everything I see, smell, and eat will be clothes for the rest of my life." But when she was 40 years old When her birthday came, Vera Wang was still moved by her boyfriend at the time and agreed to his proposal.
But when she was deciding on a wedding dress, she found that the styles of wedding dresses on the market were not satisfactory, so she came up with the idea of ââdesigning her own wedding dress for the first time.
did what it said, abandoning the heavy and layered design of ordinary wedding dresses. At the wedding, Vera Wang used a white spaghetti strap wedding dress to transform herself into a fashionable and casual bride. It cost a total of 10,000 US dollars. When a guest asked which famous brand designed this wedding dress, Vera Wang smiled and said: "It's Vera Wang"
After the wedding dress she designed was greatly praised, Vera Wang decided to start her own brand business plan and opened a Vera store in Manhattan. Wang's first bridal shop.
When designing for his own brand, of course he works even harder. It is said that from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning every night, Vera Wang is most inspired, and she often even draws manuscripts until dawn. Hard work paid off, and Vera Wangâs wedding dress design soon set off a craze in New Yorkâs Upper East Side.
Accurate tailoring and demanding attitude towards materials have allowed Vera Wang to have more than 300 stores around the world so far. Vera Wang's own net worth has already exceeded 4 billion yuan.
Vera Wang, whose career has been steadily improving, has not been able to stay romantically involved. There were more and more conflicts in the marriage with my first husband, and sometimes they even quarreled in public.Finally, in 2012, their 23-year marriage ended. However, Vera Wang, who was already 63 years old at the time, got married to Olympic figure skating champion Evan Lysacek, who was 36 years younger than her, less than a week after the divorce. Announced that they are in love, the age difference between this sister and brother is even greater than that of Hsiao Yaxuan, who became a god some time ago.
Vera Wang has been designing competition uniforms for figure skaters including Evan:
Evan, who is 188cm tall and has a friendly personality, admitted at work that he was attracted to Vera Wang, who often takes unconventional paths. After the divorce, he quickly launched a pursuit offensive. The two have been getting along very harmoniously since then, and are often photographed intimately shopping together.
But this relationship also came to an end in 2019. In the same year, her boyfriend Evan married a Bai Fumei from Thailand.
However, after Vera Wang broke up with these two lovers, they have maintained a good social relationship, without any drama, and their personal reputation and impression are very good.
Although she is not married or in a relationship now, Vera Wang's life status in the past two years has been very enviable. The adopted daughter has grown up. In addition to studying, she often goes shopping and participates in activities with Vera Wang.
With her career and the company of her daughters, Vera Wang is now living and getting younger. When she dances at home wearing a racer-shaped vest and a bohemian skirt, she looks energetic no matter how she looks.
is very good at getting the most popular styles nowadays, and it doesnât look out of place when worn on him. On the contrary, it looks more and more fashionable as he looks at it, without any âelderlyâ feeling at all.
She also has a childish heart. She will treat toy bears to dinner on Thanksgiving and dress her puppies in gingerbread man clothes:
At the same time, Vera Wang also calls herself a complete "party animal" and has a very outgoing personality in daily life. .
's favorite drink is vodka, and he owns a luxurious party truck specially used for parties. Good friend Lisa Jackson always said: "Vera Wang is like a wind-up toy, the energy is amazing!"
But Vera Wang has also maintained the habit of fitness for decades.
Until now, every time I go on the ice, my body is still as light as a little girl. It seems that to have such a tight and non-sagging figure at the age of 71 requires not only high technology but also daily hard work.
If you want to maintain yourself like Vera Wang, you must have at least three elements: 1. Sufficient financial resources; 2. A self-disciplined heart; 3. Long-term determination to complete maintenance every day.
After reading Vera Wangâs experience along the way, I really feel that there is no limit to her age or field. She started working as a designer at the age of 40, got married in the same year, got divorced at the age of 60, and dated her boyfriend at the age of 63 who is 36 years younger...
When all this was happening, Vera Wang had heard "It's too late" too many times. "It's over" and "Don't mess with the status quo".
But she always seems to only care about her own feelings when making decisions, so now she has become a "happy rich woman", which is really convincing.
Just like her current state of 71 years old, she will also be said to be very abnormal and different from ordinary people. But, so what?
