Vera Wang, the renowned bridal designer, recently took to Instagram to showcase her effortless summer style, defy societal expectations and inspire women worldwide.

Fans took to the comments section to remark how youthful she looks. Others suggested she had help from filters or Photoshop. “The power of filters :-),” one wrote. “How can you believe that 75 year old woman looks like this????”

In a series of photographs, Wang posed in a chic white one-piece swimsuit, complete with a square neckline and spaghetti straps. She elevated the ensemble with various accessories, including statement drop earrings, a bejeweled cuff bracelet and shimmering sandals.

“My Slim Aarons moment,” Wang captioned the post, an homage to the renowned photographer known for his poolside imagery. The oversized sunglasses from her Vera Wang Eyewear collection added the final touch of glamour and perfectly complimented her signature straight hairstyle.

Amid her fans’ praise, Wang’s unapologetic display of confidence and style did not go unnoticed by her peers. No stranger to a sexy swimsuit moment herself, actress Sharon Stone left a heart-eyes emoji in the comments.

This isn’t the first time Wang has challenged societal norms when it comes to aging. In 2023, the designer spoke to People magazine about the disbelieving responses she received after she shared a photo of herself in an abs-baring sports bra in her seventies.

“I guess it’s just that people have an idea of what 70 looks like today,” she said. “I have so many friends aged 65 to 70 that look fabulous. But I have to say that, hopefully, it’s a good thing. I hope it makes women feel more comfortable with themselves.”

Wang’s commitment to embracing her age and defying expectations extends beyond her fashion choices. She puts together a glamorous birthday look each year that showcases her unwavering style and confidence. In 2022, she celebrated her 73rd birthday in a blush pink dress, matching micro shorts, silver platform heels and pink highlights in her hair, proving that age is just a number.

As Wang approaches her 75th birthday, the fashion world eagerly awaits her next masterpiece.
