As she spoke about aging, she said she wanted to live long enough to see her daughters tie the knot
In the past, Vera revealed that she never tried to maintain her youth “in a fanatical, obsessive way.”
“I’ve been in fashion since I was 19 years old. Not in front of the camera, behind it,” she said in a 2022 interview forBBC 100 Women. “I never thought about youth, probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis. And because of that I more envision them as my muses, and maybe it’s a way of dealing with ageing that is productive.”

As she dished some of her personal secrets during the interview, she said “work” is part of her “magic elixir” for her ageless looks.
“I always said that: vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, [and] work – work is the magic elixir,” shesaid.

The queen of bridal wear also revealed that she avoids spending time outdoors in the sun while speaking toEllelast year.
“I’m very flattered that people think I’ve aged well, but it was never my goal,” Wang says matter-of-factly. “I drink vodka, I sleep, I avoid the sun. But I like to work. I don’t want to be pigeonholed.”
“I’m very flattered that people think I’ve aged well, but it was never my goal,” she said
Even as the years pass, Vera remains dedicated to her work and shows no signs of slowing down.
“Work was my lifeline that kept me feeling relevant and challenged me over the years,” she told the outlet. “I think the mind is more powerful than one could ever understand. The challenges that work and life present us is what keeps us going. That, and sleep.”
The designer said there is “a lot of pressure” as her 75th birthday is coming up next month
Now that she is on her way to celebrating her 75th birthday, the mother-of-two revealed that her plans will definitely include dessert because “we’re cake people, as you can tell,” she toldPeoplein April this year.
“Birthday plansare up in the air. I mean 75 is a lot of pressure,” she told the outlet.

Irrespective of what the future holds, the fashion icon is keeping her eyes ahead and said she is “going to keep prodding.”
“I think maybe a little bit like Warren Buffett [age 93] or Queen Elizabeth II [who reigned the British monarchy for seven decades until she was 96], I’m just going to keep prodding on because I feel as though I’m able to do my best work more and more. I’m really trying to respect that in me, that voice in me, that I feel very happy to be creating. That’s what it’s all about, really,” she told the outlet.
The internet could not believe she is 74 years old, and some wished they could trade their genes for hers
