Vera Wang, 76, Wears Bra Top, Skirt in New York: Photo

Of course, Wang’s commitment to taking fashion risks with skin-baring looks isn’t new.  

In fact, her Fragrance Foundation Awards outfit was in the same vein as her 2026 Met Gala ensemble. While posing for photos on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4, Wang—who rocked a platinum blonde hair color—stunned in a black avant-garde gown that showed off her toned physique, with the look featuring a black bandeau top and ab-revealing skirt.

And after celebrating fashion at the star-studded event, Wang—who is continuously lauded for her age-defying beauty—will soon mark another big occasion: her 77th birthday on June 27.

As for her anti-aging secret?

“I always say to people I think I work really hard, and I think work is a great deterrent,” Wang told E! News in October. “It just keeps you occupied mentally, physically. It keeps you engaged. So I think work is really, really important.”
