Vera Wang revealed some surprising secrets that help her maintain her youthful appearance.
The 74-year-old fashionista, who has long wowed fans with her toned physique and ageless complexion, said she denies herself nothing when it comes to fast food.
“I definitely eat McDonald’s, I order it every day, about two weeks later, and then I change,” Wang – who recently admitted she is “afraid” of getting older – said Page six at the DKMS Gala in NYC on Thursday.
The wedding dress designer also admitted that she loves Dunkin’ Donuts: “I love the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut.” It looks like a jelly donut, but inside it’s cream, vanilla cream. I also like pink with sprinkles.”
The star shared earlier in 2020 that her anti-aging secrets include “work, sleep, a vodka cocktail (and) not a lot of sun.”

The beauty also told Page Six that her work life keeps her young.
‘I’ve actually worked all my life, so it was really just about work. I think work keeps you young and stimulated.’
‘I work very long hours and I have raised two daughters. I think keeping busy is the best antidote to good health.”
At the gala, the legendary fashion designer revealed that she isn’t too “preoccupied” with her appearance.
Wang, who shocked fans last year when she showed off her incredible physique in a series of photos from her 73rd birthday party, admitted her bigger concern is avoiding a physical disability.
She told DailyMail.com exclusively: ‘I think what happens sometimes as you get older… I’m more afraid of physical disabilities… not all of this.
‘I’m not really concerned with how I look. I love my job, and I’m very passionate about my work, my friends, my daughters… I mean, I have a very full life.”
In an April interview with PeopleVera revealed that her ageless beauty comes from sipping vodka cocktails, sleeping nine hours, working and staying out of the sun.
‘It is known that I like to drink a vodka cocktail. There’s no doubt about that, I do. Sometime after five or six o’clock, around seven o’clock, I drink vodka,” she explained.
And while she noted that no one ever “believed” her, another of her top tips for staying young worked. She emphasized that working keeps your “mind, body and soul” forever young.

Speaking to Elle, the bridal wiz – who started her business at the age of 40 – noted that working has been her “lifeline” for as long as she can remember.
She explained: “Work has been my lifeline that has kept me feeling relevant and challenged over the years.
‘I think the mind is more powerful than you could ever understand. The challenges that work and life present are what keep us going.”
She added that she doesn’t like being pigeonholed and wants to continue working.
Vera also attributes her fabulous looks to her nighttime routine, which involves getting nine hours of sleep every night.
The star told the outlet that she typically gets about nine hours of sleep.
Some nights she gets less, but she “needs more than six or seven.”
Vera revealed that getting enough sleep helps her calm down and soothe herself.
She emphasized how crucial rest is, noting that “every age has its own beauty standards.”
“I’m very flattered that people think I’ve aged well, but that was never my goal,” she explained.

The fashion designer continued: “I am now confronted with a moment where so much has been said about my aging. I just hope it doesn’t replace my work. It brings up the issue of ageism, and I don’t want to be pigeonholed.”
Vera started her own business at the age of 40 and revealed she was ‘very lucky’ to have built her own empire.
And while she’s now known as a bridal wizard, she wasn’t always obsessed with the wedding industry.
At the age of eight, she trained as a figure skater, but that didn’t work out, so she decided to enter the fashion industry.
She worked at Vogue for 17 years before moving to Ralph Lauren for two years.
She then became an independent bridal wear designer, designing dresses for Ariana Grande, Chelsea Clinton, Ivanka Trump, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian.
