Vera Wang Turned 76 And Dazzled In Sultry Black Dress

Vera Wang, 76, just celebrated a birthday and once again demonstrated that age has nothing to do with style. The iconic designer rang in her birthday like only Vera Wang does with style, confidence and a sexy LBD that reinvented the essence of timeless glamour. Wang convened with close friends and longtime confidantes for a chic, intimate yet glam evening at Paris' Le Relais Plaza on June 27. It was the birthday girl herself who swept into the room in an outfit that will not be soon forgotten.

The world's most famous brides may know Vera Wang for draping them in heaps of ethereal fabric, but the designer's personal style is edgier. At her birthday soirée, she opted for a risqué, long slip dress, complete with sheer panels that showcased her legs and effortless style. At a glance, it looked like a minimal minidress worn with a pair of boots, but look a little closer and you could see it was a lesson in understated sensuality.

There was a glittering gold "76" emblazoned across her upper left arm, an explicit and fabulous shout-out to her age. It was also bold, brilliant, and altogether in line with a woman who has never shied away from wearing her identity on her sleeve. "Just celebrating my 75 9/10 - 76th birthday NEW YORK TIME with my Parisian crew and a few others who have been lifelong besties!" Wang wrote alongside an Instagram slideshow of photos, which captured the joy of the evening. Her words had the freewheeling vibe of her backless gown.

With her 5-foot-3 stature, Wang continues to make the point that fashion has no age or height requirement. It's all about the presence. Her look was not just about making a statement. It was about owning every single inch of who she is, down to the glitter on her skin. Vera Wang was having a birthday and ruling it. And she reminded the world in the process that fashion never expires.
