Vera Wang, 75, Stuns Everyone with a Sassy New Look, Sparking Heated Debate

Vera Wang is known for pushing fashion boundaries, but her appearance at the 2025 BAFTA Awards was nothing short of breathtaking. At 75, the iconic designer turned heads with a daring ensemble and surprised fans with not one, but two dramatic hair transformations.

Hollywood’s brightest stars came together at The Royal Festival Hall in London on February 16, 2025, delivering some of the most unforgettable fashion moments of the night. While the red carpet was filled with bold and striking looks, it was Vera Wang who stole the spotlight — not just for her outfit, but for something even more unexpected.

Known for her iconic ultra-long black hair, Wang stunned everyone with a bold new look — she chopped it all off! She stepped onto the red carpet flaunting a chic bob that instantly became the center of attention. While her monochromatic ensemble — featuring a black top, mesh netting, and a dramatic black-and-white peplum skirt — was undeniably striking, it was her unexpected hair transformation that truly stole the spotlight.

In addition to the main event, Vera stunned everyone at the Nominees Party with a completely different look — long, flowing blonde hair that left people in awe. She dazzled in a black tunic and skirt from Vera Wang Haute, effortlessly paired with stunning jewelry from the Jared Atelier x Vera Wang collection.

Fans swiftly filled Vera's comment section with praise for her iconic style and stunning looks. "Blonde looks good on you!" one person remarked. Another added, "Wow!!! Did you really go blonde?! It looks so good!"

Many also noted how much younger Vera looks with her new hair, with one fan commenting, "Omg I need to look like her when I’m 70."

Last year, Vera Wang's appearance also sparked attention. Some fans began to notice that the photos on the designer's Instagram seemed to differ from those captured by photographers at events.

At the 2024 Fragrance Foundation Awards on Wednesday, Vera Wang turned heads in a bold neon green dress featuring a feathered skirt and plunging neckline. She kept the rest of her look simple, adding a black bandeau top underneath.

Fans of the bridal icon flooded her with compliments online following her appearance. However, this sparked a conversation about the noticeable difference between Vera Wang's Instagram photos and those captured by photographers on the red carpet. Here's what people were saying:

• Photoshop can do wonders. She still looks great for her age - but compared to her recent red carpet photos there's been a bit of smoothing tool here.
• Make-up and Photoshop can do wonders. I've seen candid pictures of her and she looks like what a senior citizen should look like age spots, wrinkles and all. Kudos to the photographer for taking an excellent glamour shot.

Another point of discussion has been Vera Wang's figure. While some fans admire her shape, others have expressed concern, wondering if she is too thin.
