Wang has made waves over her youthful red carpet appearances in recent years, and now she has contrasted those glam outings by posting a rare makeup-free selfie.
The 77-year-old high-profile fashion designer took to Instagram on Saturday to share a snap of herself not feeling well in bed.
No doubt she shocked fans as she showcased her face without a swipe of makeup as her long hair framed her face.
She captioned the image: ‘STUCK in my bed sneezing a lot… so staying here… my real office!’ [prayer hands, handclap, bed, and inbox tray emojis]’ Â
This comes months after she showcased an incredible transformation while celebrating her 77th birthday in June.
Wang looked nearly unidentifiable in an Instagram post she shared in June that featured her startling new look as she blew out her candles while surrounded by friends.

Now, the 77-year-old high-profile fashion designer has contrasted those glam outings by posting a rare makeup-free selfie.
Instead of the dark brunette locks that the designer is most identified with, she sported eye-catching blond hair that completely changed her look and made her unrecognisable.
‘PARTY TIME…!!!’ Wang captioned her post, which appeared to be from her birthday celebrations at an upscale restaurant.
She highlighted her unbelievable new hairdo as she leaned forward to blow out her candles on a cake with a large ’77’ and sparklers that erupted into the air.
Wang’s new hair, which may have been a wig, was elegantly styled in a shoulder-length blunt-cut bob.
Her hair was styled pin-straight and parted down the middle, and she wore her long bangs tucked behind her ears to put the spotlight on her shockingly youthful and smooth visage.
Wang, who looked decades younger than her 77 years,
highlighted her lithe frame with a sleeveless white halter dress that was ruched all across the figure-hugging bodice, while the skirt flowed out slightly.
Her youthful face appeared even smoother and fuller than it did as of last year.

Her chic bob completely changed her look compared to the long dark hair that she normally wears.
She highlighted her unbelievable new hairdo as she leaned forward to blow out her candles on a cake with a large ’77’ and sparklers that erupted into the air.
Although her new blond hair created a striking change, this isn’t the first time Wang has traded out her dark hair for blond tresses.Â
One of her most recent forays as a blonde was at the Met Gala in May (pictured), when she sported platinum locks while wearing a black gown with a single sleeve and just a small strip of fabric to cover her bust.
Wang, who has been said to be ‘ageing in reverse’, has made an effort in recent years to not only highlight her youthful appearance but also to favour edgy ensembles that showcase her fit figure.
She previously said she finds ageism ‘so old-fashioned’, adding that in life, ‘you have to try and continue to grow in one way or another.’
In a 2022 interview with BBC 100 Women, Wang, who is the chief creative officer of her fashion empire, said her ‘magic elixir’ for staying youthful is work.
However, she also admitted that a ‘vodka’ cocktail and ‘nine hours of sleep a day’ help.
Wang has been working in the fashion industry since she was 18, after giving up on her early hopes of being a professional figure skater. At 23, she made history as the youngest-ever fashion editor at Vogue, but it wasn’t until nearly 20 years later that she launched her namesake fashion label.
However, perhaps more powerful than work is her approach to beauty, which is not to take it too seriously.

Amazingly, she’s also praised her diet for youthful looks, claiming the secret is vodka, McDonald’s and doughnuts.
‘I do eat McDonald’s, absolutely. I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change,’ she told Page Six last year.
The wedding dress designer also admitted she enjoys Dunkin’ Doughnuts, sharing, ‘I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated doughnut.
‘It’s like a jelly doughnut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too.’
The star previously shared in 2020 that her anti-ageing secrets included ‘work, sleep, a vodka cocktail [and] not much sun.’
‘One of the things I am known to like to do is have a vodka cocktail. There’s no question about that; I do. I have a vodka at some point after five or six o’clock, towards seven,’ she explained.
And while she noted that no one ever ‘believed her’, another one of her top tips to stay young was working.
She insisted that working keeps your ‘mind, body and soul’ forever youthful. Vera also credits her fabulous appearance to her nighttime routine, which sees her sleeping nine hours every night.
One of her most recent forays as a blonde was at the Met Gala in May (pictured), when she sported platinum locks while wearing a black gown with a single sleeve and just a small strip of fabric to cover her bust.
Even when she’s sticking to her usual dark hair, Wang favours revealing ensembles that highlight her svelte figure and age-defying looks.
Is society obsessed with youth, or should we celebrate ageing and natural beauty more?
The star told the outlet that she typically gets around nine hours of sleep. Some nights she gets less; however, she ‘needs more than six or seven.’
Vera revealed that getting enough sleep helps calm her down and pace herself.
She emphasised how crucial rest was while noting that ‘every age has its own set of beauty standards.’
‘I’m very flattered that people think I’ve aged well, but it was never my goal,’ she explained.
The fashion designer continued: ‘I’m confronted with a bit of a moment now where so much has been said about my ageing. I just hope that it doesn’t supersede my work. It brings up the issue of ageism, and I don’t want to be pigeonholed.’
