Vera Wang dazzles at 75: Age‑defying elegance at the MET Gala

Vera Wang has proven time and again that age is just a number. One of the most famous fashion designers in the world is 75 years old and has the figure of a teenager. Recently, she highlighted her slim silhouette with a tight and sheer outfit at the MET Gala.

On Monday, May 6, the MET Gala 2024 took place, inaugurating the exhibition "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion". Every year, one can expect anything on the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This event follows entirely different rules, with stars competing in a contest for the most spectacular outfit.

This time was no different. Stylists and celebrities rose to the occasion, reflecting the event's theme, "The Garden of Time". Sensual Jennifer Lopez, demonic Zendaya, and ethereal Elle Fanning attracted attention.

Vera Wang also garnered the interest of the gathered photographers. The designer from China was responsible for the striking outfit of Janelle Monáe, but she also took great care of her appearance.

Vera Wang began her career with costumes for figure skaters and wedding dresses. Over time, she became one of the most important figures in the fashion world. The red carpets were teeming with stars in her evening dresses.

With such experience, Vera Wang consciously appeared at the MET Gala in a spectacular yet still elegant dress from her atelier. The 75-year-old designer opted for a mermaid cut. The top of the dress was transparent, silvery, and embroidered with sparkles. Around the waist, sheer areas were adorned with flowers in shades of grey. In the lower part, the sheers gradually transition into black tulles.

With such a richly decorated dress, the designer chose minimal makeup and a simple hairstyle. The styling perfectly highlighted the slim silhouette, of which Wang is very proud and likes to show off.
