Vera Wang's Red Carpet Near Miss: Dress Slips and Last-Minute Adjustments Before the Spotlight

Fashion luminary Vera Wang has captivated fans with her elegant, timeless style for many years. At 76, the acclaimed designer continues to generate buzz, even when not adorning Hollywood's elite. On August 24, she graced the opening night of the US Open in New York City, showcasing a stunning gray and white color-block maxi dress from her Vera Wang Haute collection. This sleeveless, floor-length design featured striking black stripes along the sides, a plunging scoop neck, and an audaciously low back. Initially paired with a mini black jacket for photos, she later removed it on the blue carpet, exposing her prominent collarbone and shoulders. While one admirer admired her youthful look, many voiced concern over her noticeably slender figure, likening her appearance to that of an alarming fashion mishap. Despite critics questioning her weight and fit, Wang has previously stated that her slender physique isn’t due to stringent dieting, showcasing her acceptance of aging with grace.
