Vera Wang Turns 76: Dazzles in Bold Black Minidress During Paris Birthday Bash

If there’s one thing Vera Wang knows how to do, it’s make an entrance. The legendary designer just celebrated her 76th birthday in Paris, and true to form, she turned it into a chic masterclass in how to age on your own terms.

Fans who follow Vera on Instagram got a front-row seat to her birthday getaway. She started by sharing the sweet welcome she got at Hotel Plaza Athenee. Fresh flowers and fruit baskets waiting in her suite — classic Paris touch.

Right away, she teased that this trip wasn’t going to be all work and no play. She planned on indulging in Paris’ best meals. First snaps showed her in laid-back denim, a floral jacket, and big platform boots. Not exactly the bridal couture people usually link to her name, but that’s Vera — she bends style rules when she feels like it.

How Did Vera Stun on Her Birthday Night?

The real jaw-drop moment came when she stepped out for her birthday dinner at Le Relais Plaza. Vera chose a daring black minidress and knee-high boots. She didn’t stop there. She even painted her age — glittery 76 — right on her arm. Waist-length hair down, barely-there makeup, just that easy confidence that’s become her signature.

She joked in her caption that she was celebrating her “75 9/10 – 76th birthday NEW YORK TIME.” Classic Vera humor. She marked the night with her Paris crew plus a few old friends who flew in just to toast her.

One of those faces was Vetements creative director Guram Gvasalia. Even with Paris Fashion Week madness going on, he showed up for her. Vera shared their reunion with a grin that told the whole story — this wasn’t just another fancy dinner; this was her circle, her people, her vibe.

What Makes Vera’s Parties So Vera?

Vera doesn’t just throw parties. She sets a mood. This one had it all — cocktails, wine, candles, and a small birthday cake with her age on top. She laughed about the cake being “smallish” but the birthday being “BIG.” That sums up her approach to life.

She also shared a peek at the menu: light cod, mushrooms, and a floating island for dessert. Chic but unfussy, a lot like Vera herself. When the night wrapped, the gifts piled in — flowers, sweets, even designer sunglasses. She kept it simple with a “Merci a tous!!!” on Instagram, the black hearts matching her sleek Paris style.

Not long before her Paris escape, Vera opened up to PEOPLE about her fragrance line and what love means to her now. She said her age gives her perspective. She’s seen a lot, designed for generations of brides, and still sees a need for romance — even when stats say marriage is down.

If her birthday weekend proves anything, it’s that Vera Wang is still writing her own rules at 76. Paris just gave her the perfect backdrop to remind everyone that style doesn’t come with an expiration date.
