Legendary fashion designer Vera Wang has repeatedly shocked her fans with her age-defying appearance.

Fashion designer Vera Wang has amazed her fans once again with her ageless beauty.

The 74-year-old is most well-known for creating show-stopping dresses, especially wedding dresses, but she’s also created a name for herself thanks to her age-deying, youthful appearance. It’s previously been said by her fans that she looks more like a sister of her daughters, who both are in their early 30s.

Now, she’s delighted her 921,000 followers again with her latest sun-soaked Instagram snap. In the photo, she was modelling a pair of large sunglasses from her own brand 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." A third said: "You are ageing backwards sis!"

A fourth said: “Some say that you can tell when a person is older by looking at their hands and neck. Lol yeah well hers tells me nothing except that she is a beautiful woman possibly in her twenties! Wow just wow!!” Another added: “Eternal youth. You must have Benjamin Button syndrome, I mean the good reverse.” One also declared “Vera is goals” and added the fire emoji.
