Vera Wang, 75, Defies Age Yet Again at the 2025 BAFTAs—And We Need Her Secrets

Vera Wang just reminded the world—again—that aging backwards might actually be possible.

The legendary fashion designer, 75, hit the red carpet at the 2025 BAFTAs in London on Sunday night, effortlessly proving that time has absolutely no hold on her.

Draped in a sleek, strapless gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline, Wang looked every bit the style icon we’ve known her to be for decades. The silky, floor-length maxi skirt only added to the effortlessly chic aesthetic, because, let’s be honest, Vera Wang and elegance are practically synonymous at this point.

But of course, she didn’t stop there. She elevated the entire look with her signature blacked-out square shades—because why wouldn’t she? Then, just to keep us all on our toes, she swapped them out on the red carpet, giving photographers a glimpse of her timeless, glowing complexion.

And in true Vera fashion, she added a touch of edge by layering a black oversized leather jacket over her gown before heading into the star-studded event. Who else could mix bridal couture vibes with rockstar energy and make it look this effortless?

The Internet’s Obsession with Vera’s Youthful Glow

It’s no secret that Vera Wang’s ageless beauty has been a hot topic for years. Every time she steps out, people can’t help but ask: How does she do it?

Turns out, her approach to skincare is refreshingly simple. Speaking to Page Six last year, Wang admitted she’s not about that 18-step routine life.

“I’m pretty minimal, I have to say,” she shared. “Maybe it’s because I’m Asian, but I’ve always been pretty minimal. Soap, some cleanser, but I don’t do 18 steps! I know that’s the thing to do now, but it’s never been a part of my regime.”

And while some swear by elaborate beauty rituals, Wang has stuck to what works for her—and clearly, it’s working.

The Viral Vera Wang Effect

Back in 2023, the internet went into a frenzy over just how youthful she looks, and honestly, she was just as surprised as the rest of us.

“I guess it’s just that people have an idea of what 70 looks like today,” she told People at the time. “I have so many friends that are 65 to 70 that look fabulous. But I have to say that hopefully, it’s a good thing.”

And it is. Because if Vera Wang is rewriting the narrative of what aging looks like, we are all here for it.

“I hope it makes women feel more comfortable with themselves or confident,” she added. “There are many definitions of what a woman can be.”

The Vera Wang ‘Forever Young’ Formula? Work, Sleep, Vodka.

Now, if you were expecting a secret serum or some wildly expensive skincare routine, think again. Wang’s real secret? Balance.

She previously shared that her daily routine includes “work, sleep, a vodka cocktail, not much sun.”

“I value having a vodka cocktail at the end of the day,” she told the BBC in 2020. “Because it helps me to transition from a very intense work schedule to a bit of a private life.”

A woman after our own hearts.

At this point, Vera Wang is proof that style, confidence, and a little bit of vodka might just be the ultimate anti-aging formula. And honestly, we’re taking notes.
