Iconic fashion designer Vera Wang, 76, turned heads at this year’s US Open blue carpet. She arrived in a sleeveless, floor-length gown featuring a charcoal-gray plunging bodice and a flowing white skirt. Her straight hair, oversized sunglasses, and textured black handbag completed the minimalist, glamorous look.

A video of Wang’s appearance quickly went viral, drawing a mix of concern and admiration online. Some netizens criticized the gown as “unflattering,” while others expressed worry about her health, calling her “shockingly thin” and questioning if she was “sick.” One commenter noted, “She needs some nutrition; 10 extra pounds would look amazing on her.”

At the same time, others marveled at her youthful looks. Admirers highlighted her wrinkle-free skin, with one user remarking, “She looks three decades younger.” Several admitted they barely recognized her at first glance.

The discourse reflects a broader fascination with Wang’s evolution in style and appearance. Over the years, she has moved from layered, eclectic ensembles in the 2000s to bold, avant-garde statements at high-profile events like the Met Gala and Oscars. From her ethereal gowns in 2014 to futuristic looks in 2025, Wang continues to spark conversation—whether for her fashion, her physique, or her timeless presence.
