Vera Wang has once again proven herself to be the queen of anti-ageing in new pictures posted to her Instagram.
In recent times, the 74-year-old designer and fashion icon has become somewhat of a spokesperson for ageing backwards as fans and followers obsess over her youthful looks.
But how exactly does she do it?

When asked how she stays looking so young, she cited her love of vodka.
“One of the things I am known to like to do is have a vodka cocktail,” Wang told People.
"There’s no question about that, I do. I have a vodka at some point after five or six o’clock, towards seven.”
Cosmo anyone?
She has also spoken about how her love for her work keeps her young.
“Work was my lifeline that kept me feeling relevant and challenged me over the years,” she explained to Elle.
“I think the mind is more powerful than one could ever understand.
“The challenges that work and life present us is what keeps us going.”
However, the New York-born businesswoman claims she has never gone out of her way to 'preserve youth in a fanatical, obsessive way.'
“I’m confronted with a bit of a moment now where so much has been said about my ageing,” she said.
“I just hope that it doesn’t supersede my work.
“It brings up the issue of ageism, and I don’t want to be pigeonholed.”
Wang, who worked for Vogue for 17 years before pursuing design, uploaded snaps taken with fellow designer, Keith Lissner, at the US Open this past weekend and once again looked far younger than her 74 years.
She kept it lowkey in a US Open cap and a pair of large sunglasses as she posed with her event wristband in the Arthur Ashe Stadium's Presidential Suite.
The pair were two of many high-profile fans who attended the Grand Slam event in New York.
Other celebrities spotted at the event include rumoured couple Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet, Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox and 80s film legend, Molly Ringwald.
Fans were quick to comment on designer’s youthful appearance.
One person wrote: “Vera does not age."
“Age is just a Number,” another remarked.
“She looks like 20 wow amazing mi idol,” said one person.
“Seriously your skin wow,” added a fourth commenter.
Another wrote, “I’m convinced she’s in her 20s what kind of sorcery is this?”
If a vodka cocktail is all it takes, count me in!
