She's become known not just for her fashion brand but for her age-defying looks and chameleonic style in recent years.

And Vera Wang pulled off one of her this week when she celebrated her 77th birthday.

Wang looked nearly unidentifiable in an Instagram post she shared early on Tuesday morning that featured her startling new look as she blew out her candles while surrounded by friends.

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 unrecognizable.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Wang for comment but has not yet received a response. 

'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.

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.

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 flowered out slightly

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

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 favors revealing ensembles that highlight her svelte figure and age-defying looks

'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 night-time routine, which sees her sleeping nine hours every night.
