Vera Wang Shares Why She Doesn’t Want To Make a Big Deal About Turning 75

Navigating aging can feel a bit like a high-wire act for women. Society expects you to age like a fine wine — gracefully, but somehow also manage to look like you haven’t aged a day. Yet, fashion powerhouse Vera Wang is shaking up these expectations. With her 75th birthday just around the corner, Wang spills the tea on getting older, staying creative, and why she’s not about to throw a mega bash to celebrate.

“Birthday plans are up in the air. I mean, 75 is a lot of pressure. I think maybe a little bit like Warren Buffett [age 93] or Queen Elizabeth II [who reigned the British monarchy for seven decades until she was 96], I’m just going to keep prodding on because I feel as though I’m able to do my best work more and more,” Wang shared.

This isn’t just someone wondering what to do for their birthday; it’s a glimpse into the soul of someone who’s determined to keep pushing boundaries, no matter the number of candles on the cake. Her recent fashion plays, from the edgy rocker looks to that show-stopping Barbiecore gown underscore her refusal to play by the rules of aging.

“I’m really trying to respect that in me, that voice in me, that I feel very happy to be creating. That’s what it’s all about, really,” Wang explained to People. It’s clear from her words and her wardrobe choices that Wang isn’t just going through the motions. She’s living proof that creativity doesn’t have an expiration date and that perhaps, we all should be a little more rock and roll about aging.

Wang’s approach to celebrating her 75th is as refreshing as it is inspiring. And, while she might be playing it cool about turning 75, one thing is unmistakably clear — Wang is absolutely ageless, both in spirit and in style. Her story isn’t just about fashion or a birthday; it’s a testament to living life on your own terms and staying true to your creative self.
