Vera Wang credits an unusual diet for her ageless looks at 74 years old

Fans think she's ageing backwards

At this point, Vera Wang should have played Benjamin Button instead of Brad Pitt.

The bridal wear designer, known for making wedding gowns for the likes of Ariana Grande, Vanessa Hudgens, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian, is 74-years-old and doesn't look a day over 50.

But as well as having good genes, the world wants to know more about her de-aging lifestyle, from her diet to her daily habits.

Now, the New York-born businesswoman has stressed that she is not actually trying to look younger - but is rather just embracing the natural ageing process.

"It's very complimentary and I am very grateful for that," she told BBC 100 Women last year.

"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."

In an interview with Page Six Style, however, she opened up about her unique diet, explaining that she still loves a bit of fast food from time-to-time.

"I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely," she said. "I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change."

She also loves a bit of Dunkin’ Donuts, adding: "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."

Amid her unconventional approach to dieting, Wang champions both balance and moderation.

She told Harper's Bazaar: "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."

She also thanks her 'magic elixir' which helps her keep so young.

"I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work - work is the magic elixir," she added.

I feel like her lifestyle is something a lot of us could get behind.
