74-year-old fashion designer and style icon Vera Wang shares ‘unexpected’ daily diet habit
- Replies 22
We all know that the fountain of youth doesn’t exist. But that doesn't mean we shouldn’t continue to appreciate the beauty of ageing and push to make the best of the present time.
Vera Wang, for one, has been held in high praise lately for her 'ageless' appearance.
People now seem desperate to know what the 74-year-old influential fashion designer’s beauty secrets are, and she’s happy to oblige and share her usual habits and the food she likes to eat, which comes as quite a surprise to her fans.
It turns out Wang favours an ingenious combination of McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts in her diet.
When asked about it, Wang said she does, in fact, keep on eating these fast food meals for days or even weeks at a time!
'I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely, I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change,' she told Page Six. Besides the iconic fast-food chain, Wang also said she loves, in her own words, 'the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut. It’s like a jelly donut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too'.
Wang also mentioned her love for vodka. ‘One of the things I am known to like to do is have a vodka cocktail,’ she shared.
‘There’s no question about that, I do. I have a vodka at some point after five or six o’clock, towards seven,’ she added.
Wang also stated that her work acts like her secret ‘fountain of youth'.
‘Work was my lifeline that kept me feeling relevant and challenged me over the years. 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,’ she said.
The mum of two also mentioned she tried to score a solid nine hours of sleep every night, but with her crazy schedule, that didn't always pan out.
Wang also admitted that while she's flattered by the compliments on her timeless beauty, that wasn't exactly her life's mission. ‘I’m confronted with a bit of a moment now where so much has been said about my ageing,’ she said.
‘I just hope that it doesn’t supersede my work. It brings up the issue of ageism, and I don’t want to be pigeonholed,’ she added.
Wang kicked off her fashion design gig a bit later in life at 40. She was an intern at US Vogue before advancing as the magazine’s Sittings Editor.
Since then, she has stunned everyone with her eye-catching designs, which have been worn by celebrities such as Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian and the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton.
When it comes to discovering the secret to staying forever young, Wang said there was no ‘magic potion’ to it.
She explained: ‘I have to be honest: my Asian girlfriends are anywhere from the age of 50 all the way up to 75, and they all look pretty amazing.’
