The star has previously told People that she partook in very ‘sporadic’ exercise now, but attributed her toned physique to ‘muscle memory’ after years of being an elite athlete.

‘I was a competitive figure skater in the United States and a dancer at Balanchine School of American Ballet… it sort of stays with you,’ she said.

‘Sleep is key… I don’t think I could exist if I wasn’t able to sleep… and certainly vodka. 

The business women revealed in an interview with BBC 100 Women that she never thought of ‘going way out of my way’ to preserve her youth ‘in a fanatical, obsessive way’.

She also said she finds ageism ‘so old-fashioned’, because in life ‘you have to try and continue to grow in one way or another’. 

Of course, this isn’t the first time Wang has wowed people with her incredible appearance.  

She previously stunned fans when she posted a series of images of herself modeling her own accessory designs for David’s Bridal — and showing off her incredible figure and admirably toned abs.

She commented on the social media buzz, saying the sizzling snaps led her to get some very risqué messages on Instagram.

‘You would be really shocked,’ she told Elle, adding: ‘I didn’t expect the reaction to be so huge. I just thought we were just selling some barrettes!’

In the images, Wang donned shorts and an orange sports bra, flaunting a seriously toned stomach that women a third of her age would kill for. 

She went on to post several other modeling shots as well, in a bold orange gown with a matching face mask, in workout gear, and in short shorts with high heels.

‘I live alone, obviously,’ she explained. ‘And so those photos were taken during quarantine as kind of a laugh, but also a real refusal to give up.

‘I had a collection to promote with no models, no photographer, no hair, no makeup… But I was in Miami, and you know, you cannot beat Miami sunlight at 5 P.M. It is goddamn gold, you know what I mean? You could be Jack the Ripper in front of it and he would look good…

‘So I said, “Look, we’ve got these barrettes we want to show. Let me just put them on Instagram.” I threw on a [Palm Angels] sports bra because it was too hot for anything else; it was like 95 degrees!’

Wang said that she thinks the key to a great social media post is to make them ‘a little kooky,’ adding: ‘Make it a party, even if it’s a party of one.’ 

The fashion designer has been working in the industry for decades, having started her career as an editor at Vogue in 1970 when she graduated from Sarah Lawrence.

From there, Vera moved to a role at Ralph Lauren, where she remained for two years, until leaving to found her bridal brand at the age of 40.

Since then she has expanded her offering to include non-bridal designs, while also creating wedding dresses for a host of celebrities, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alicia Keys, Hilary Duff, and Khloe Kardashian.
