Fans insist fashion legend, 74,  is ageing backwards in poolside snaps

FANS were stunned when a fashion legend looked decades younger than her age as she posed for poolside snaps in white swimwear.

The designer shared the snaps on Instagram showing her enjoying some downtime in the sun – causing followers to rush to comment.

Vera Wang, 74, was modelling a pair of huge sunglasses from her own brand and accessorised with some silver earrings and jewel-studded flip-flops.

One fan commented: “HOW is it possible you look like this.”

Another said: “You look amazing Vera.”

And a third added: “You are ageing backwards sis!”

New York-born businesswoman Vera previously insisted she has never tried to “preserve youth in a fanatical, obsessive way”.

But she did share some of her secrets to looking so good in her seventies.

She once told Harper’s Bazaar: “I go through phases with what I eat for lunch.

“I like sashimi with brown rice and vegetables, Chinese steamed broccoli with chicken and rice, or the artichoke salad or fish from Sant Ambroeus.

“At one point I was eating a slice of Ray’s pizza every day, and I never gained a pound on it. It’s not a bad thing if you squeeze out that excess oil. It’s so filling.

“I only drink water – I stopped drinking Diet Coke six years ago. That was the hardest thing I ever gave up.”

Vera also claimed she has a “magic elixir”.

She added: “I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work – work is the magic elixir.”
