Vera Wang, the iconic fashion designer, turned heads at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on November 3, 2025, in a daring black-and-white two-piece ensemble. At 76, Wang proves age is just a number, confidently showcasing a black bralette with matching sleeves and voluminous cuffs paired with a floor-sweeping white maxi skirt. She completed the striking look with dark sunglasses, minimal makeup, and her long brown hair cascading below her hips.

Red Carpet Presence

Wang attended the star-studded ceremony, celebrating honorees including Jerry Lorenzo, Cynthia Rowley, Andre Walker, Pieter Muller, Donatella Versace, Sara Moonves, and A$AP Rocky, recipient of the Fashion Icon Award.

A longstanding member of the CFDA Board of Directors, Wang has previously received the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award (2005) and the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award (2013). She sits alongside industry icons like Ralph Lauren, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, and Michael Kors on the board.

Previous CFDA Appearances

Last year, Wang made a coordinated appearance with Ciara at the 2024 CFDA Awards, both wearing elegant black-and-white ensembles. Wang donned a daring, skin-baring gown, while Ciara opted for a colorblock column dress with gloves.

Age-Defying Inspiration

Beyond fashion, Wang continues to celebrate life with gusto. In a 2024 interview with PEOPLE ahead of her 76th birthday, she shared her perspective on aging:

“A lot of my friends don’t want to [celebrate]. They say, ‘I’m too old.’ I said, ‘It’s not about being old. It’s about being here and living, and we should celebrate that.’”

Wang credits her continued creativity to staying active and pushing forward:

“I feel as though I’m able to do my best work more and more. That’s what it’s all about—respecting that voice in me and creating.”

Her recent red carpet appearances, including the 2025 Met Gala and BAFTAs, have cemented her reputation for fearless, age-defying style.
