I’m 74, my top 4 secrets for ageless beauty – and yes, I still drink vodka and eat McDonald’s

WE all want youthful, glowing skin, right?

Well, luckily for you, Vera Wang, 74, has revealed the four top secrets she swears by for ageless beauty - and they are guaranteed to leave you surprised.

And don’t worry, you won’t need to go out and splash the cash on expensive anti-ageing creams or serums.

According to this fashion icon, who is best known for her iconic wedding dresses, enjoying some of life's simple pleasures are what keep her looking young.

Vera, who has seemingly discovered the fountain of youth, has credited her ageless looks to fast food  - yes, you heard that correctly. 

Speaking to at the DKMS Gala in NYC, Vera revealed: "I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely."

She added: "I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change."

But it's not just Maccies that Vera loves, as she also admitted that she’s a big fan of Dunkin’ Donuts too.

She shared: "I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut. It’s like a jelly donut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too."

But of course it’s not just Big Macs and donuts for Vera, as she has also revealed that working hard, sleep and vodka cocktails help her to stay looking youthful too. 

The New York-born businesswoman revealed she has never thought of “going way out of [her] way” to “preserve youth in a fanatical, obsessive way.”

She told last year: "It's very complimentary and I am very grateful for that. But, I have been asked; what are my 'secrets'.

"I've been in fashion since I was 19-years-old. Not in front of the camera, behind it.

"I never thought about youth, probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis.

"And because of that I more envision them as my muses, and maybe it's a way of dealing with ageing that is productive."

Wang also said that she thanks her “magic elixir” which keeps her looking young, as she added: "I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work - work is the magic elixir.” 

Not only this, but when it comes to her diet, Vera claimed that she champions balance and moderation.

She once told : "I go through phases with what I eat for lunch.

"I like sashimi with brown rice and vegetables, Chinese steamed broccoli with chicken and rice, or the artichoke salad or fish from Sant Ambroeus.

"At one point I was eating a slice of Ray's pizza every day, and I never gained a pound on it. It's not a bad thing if you squeeze out that excess oil. It's so filling.

"I only drink water – I stopped drinking Diet Coke six years ago. That was the hardest thing I ever gave up."
