Fashion designer Vera Wang marked her 76th birthday with a celebration in Paris, showcasing a bold and elegant style that continues to defy conventional expectations of age. The event highlighted her enduring influence in the fashion world.
For the birthday dinner, held at the Michelin-starred Le Relais Plaza near the Champs-Élysées, Wang chose a striking black floor-length gown. The dress featured a low neckline and a sheer panel with strategic cutouts. She accessorized with a temporary tattoo of the number “76” in gold studs on her arm, complementing her signature long, sleek hairstyle.
In social media posts from the evening, the designer shared moments from the gathering, which she described as a “Paris branch” reunion with close friends. The celebration included cocktails, a dinner, and a small cake with yellow icing. Among the attendees was Guram Gvasalia, creative director of Vetements, whom Wang was photographed embracing.
Just days after the party, Wang was spotted in another eye-catching ensemble while shopping at a Prada boutique in the city. She wore a black cropped top and skirt that revealed her midsection, joking in a caption about braving a heatwave for the sake of fashion.
Wang has long been noted for her youthful appearance and fearless style. In past interviews, she has dismissed ageism as outdated, emphasizing personal growth and enjoyment. She has cited simple pleasures, like a nightly vodka cocktail and prioritizing sleep, as part of her routine for maintaining energy and well-being.
The birthday festivities in Paris served as another reminder of Wang’s lasting legacy and her philosophy that style and vitality have no expiration date.
