In 2020, Wang shared that her anti-aging secrets included "work, sleep, a vodka cocktail [and] not much sun."

She also mentioned to Page Six that her professional life is a key factor in keeping her youthful.

"Basically, I've worked my whole life, so it's really been about work. I think work keeps you young and stimulated," Wang noted. "I work very long hours, I've raised two daughters. I think keeping busy is the best antidote [for] good health."

The fashion icon also disclosed she is not overly "preoccupied" by her appearance.

Looking Young At 73

Last year, Wang celebrated her 73rd birthday with a pink-themed party. She shocked fans when she showed up in a plunging top and matching shorts that displayed her sculpted legs.

While speaking to DailyMail, Wang admitted that her bigger concern was avoiding a physical disability.

"I think what happens sometimes as you age... I'm more frightened about physical disabilities... not all this," she said. "'I'm not totally preoccupied with how I look. I love my work, and I'm very passionate about my work, my friends, my daughters... I mean, I have a very full life."

Vera Wang Spills The Tea

In an April interview with People, Wang disclosed that her timeless beauty stems from enjoying vodka cocktails, ensuring nine hours of sleep, staying active, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.

"One of the things I am known to like to do is have a vodka cocktail. There's no question about that, I do. I have a vodka at some point after five or six o'clock, towards seven," the legendary designer explained.

While acknowledging that her advice might not always be believed, another key tip she emphasized for staying young is to stay engaged in work.

"Nobody believes me when I say it, but working keeps you young," Wang said. "It keeps your mind young, and your spirit up and your relevance up, which I think affects your body."

She added, "And I have to say, sleep, staying out of the sun without sunblock, and good lighting is everything too!"

Flaunting Her Fit Body

In 2020, Wang gained viral attention for her timeless appearance when she posted pictures of herself at the age of 70, modeling an orange sports bra and denim shorts.

"Homegirl just went and unsubscribed from aging," a user tweeted at the time, while another wrote, "Wtf is she drinking, unicorn blood?! Unreal."
