Vera Wang has once again stunned audiences as she showed off her youthful glow at the BAFTAs last night.
Sunday night’s glitzy BAFTAs event saw some incredible looks on the red carpet including iconic ‘fits by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy in her elaborate bronze Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress and Sheila Atim in her strapless metallic Prada gown.
However, there was one woman who stood out from the rest, not just for her beautiful choice of dress, but also for her immense presence at the award show, and of course, it was none other than the queen of bridal couture, Vera Wang.
The 73-year-old designer had us all hooked with her ensemble which consisted of a simple black crop top underneath a white silk asymmetric dress. Paired with a delicate pearl necklace and her staple black sunglasses, the fashion guru showed us that age literally is just a number when it comes to slaying on the red carpet.
Have a look at the gorgeous shots below:
Of course, fans couldn’t help but post about Wang online, with many branding her as “immortal.”
“Vera Wang seems immortal with her sultry youthful look at BAFTAs! If I could look half of what she looks likes, it’d be something!” wrote one user, while another just had to emphasize the veteran’s age: “Just a reminder to everyone that Vera Wang is 73 YEARS OLD.”
Another stated that Wang made it onto their best-dressed list this year.
“My #BestDressed from the #BAFTAs Hayley Atwell, Florence Pugh, Ariana DeBose, Cynthia Erivo, Geri Halliwell, Vera Wang and Catherine Zeta Jones” – an iconic line-up indeed.

In the past, the 73-year-old has been pretty open about the regime that keeps her looking so youthful, telling the BBC: “I’ve got to be really honest, one of them is sleep,” while the other is slightly more surprising.
“I value having a vodka cocktail at the end of the day. Because it helps me to transition from a very intense work schedule to a bit of a private life.”
Wang went on to say that she “never thought about youth” during her years working in fashion, “probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis.”
“Because of that, I more envision them as my muses,” she explained, before adding that it was “maybe a way of dealing with aging that is productive.”
However, she also told the outlet that despite this, she’s not going out of her way to “preserve” her youth in an “obsessive way”, before going on to slam ageism as “old-fashioned.”
“You have to try and continue to grow in one way or another,” she concluded.
She’s not wrong there, but if we could all age as gracefully as her, I’m sure that’ll be a great added bonus.
