00:02 Yup, that's Vera Wang, and yup,
00:04 she has fans convinced she's aging backwards.
00:07 I kind of went back to my roots.
00:09 That's the 74-year-old designer looking youthful as ever,
00:13 posing for some poolside pics.
00:14 We're a little bit more fashion forward.
00:17 Vera rocking a white one-piece swimsuit,
00:20 oversized shades, and some chunky silver jewelry.
00:23 My own personal passion.
00:25 Striking a pose in swimwear wasn't always
00:27 something Vera was comfortable with.
00:28 Back in 2012, she told ET shooting for a Harper's Bazaar
00:32 spread in a bathing suit took a lot of convincing.
00:35 You said you're not really a beach,
00:38 bathing suit kind of girl.
00:39 No, I'm not.
00:40 I have to be honest, I think there were in total four takes,
00:44 and I just said I can't go through with it,
00:45 and they managed to get one, which is kind of shocking.
00:49 But I'm usually pretty covered, and for me to be,
00:54 somebody even said I was in a bikini,
00:56 and I said no, I'm not at all.
00:57 I'm in a one-piece suit.
00:59 I'm very discreet.
01:00 But it just really isn't me normally, anyone who knows me.
01:04 Well now, the fashion mogul's having no trouble owning it,
01:08 sharing the pics on Instagram over the long holiday weekend.
01:11 And the one thing on everybody's minds,
01:13 how does she do it?
01:16 I can't say, or it wouldn't be a secret.
01:18 Fans have long wondered what Vera's biggest
01:20 self-care secrets are, and back in 2020,
01:23 she confessed on Exit Simple.
01:25 Work, sleep, a vodka cocktail, not much sun.
01:29 A really, really strong vodka.
01:31 I have to say, I think that in a way,
01:33 sleep is one of my biggest aims, is to get enough rest.
01:38 And I know that sounds very un-American in a weird way,
01:41 'cause you're supposed to pack everything
01:42 into every single day.
01:44 But there's something about being able to rest and sleep
01:48 that's extremely rejuvenating, and that's very Asian.
01:52 You know, that's a very Asian concept,
01:54 the concept of resting.
01:56 And I think that's been something I've always been fierce
01:59 about protecting myself with.
02:01 It's very restorative, and I think that's part of it.
02:05 But when it comes to exercise, Vera's admitted in the past
02:08 it's not exactly at the top of her priorities.
02:10 I really used to work out.
02:12 I was a figure skater myself, and a ballet dancer.
02:15 So that sort of stays with you, I think, your whole life.
02:19 But on the other hand, I do not really regularly exercise.
02:22 I hate to say that.
02:23 I love sports, like I love tennis and golf.
02:26 They're both kind of difficult for a New Yorker.
02:29 I do love to swim, that's also difficult in New York City.
02:33 Now I have a pool, so I will be able to swim.
02:36 Oh, and turns out Vera's all for treating herself
02:38 to some of her fave comfort foods, too.
02:40 One of my favorites is chicken pot pie.
02:43 Great, good old American food.
02:46 Last year, she told Page Six she indulges in McDonald's
02:49 and a good donut on the occasion.
02:51 And she's not shy about it either.
02:53 Just days ago, sharing a snap of some yummy pastries
02:55 as she enjoyed another day out by the pool.
02:58 Really fun.
02:59 While we continue to commend the designer
03:01 for successfully discovering the fountain of youth,
03:04 we love seeing her own that Vera glow
03:06 and rocking one age-defying look after another.
