SECRET TO STAR’S YOUTHFUL LOOK

After pictures of Wang quarantine in Miami went viral last month the designer responded on Instagram to one fan who asked how she managed to look so youthful.

Wang wrote that her routine was “work, sleep, a vodka cocktail, not much sun” and that her drink of choice was Diet Coke.

The designer told Harper’s Bazaar US in 2012 that she would “never miss a meal” as she has to “feed my brain”.

Wang said she eats what she wants, even going through a period where she ate a slice of pizza a day which she said wasn’t “a bad thing if you squeeze out that excess oil”.

Wang credits her youthful appearance down to a routine of “work, sleep, a vodka cocktail, not much sun”.

“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,” she said.

She also described herself as a “chip freak”, telling Harper’s Bazaar she had a special cupboard dedicated to all her favourite treats.

“We have a candy pantry, a cereal pantry, and a pantry for what I call ‘orange food; — Cheetos, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish, all kinds of chips,” she said.

Wang previously told InStyle that she was “not a huge exercise person” and was a “terrible but enthusiastic” golf player.
