Since opening her boutique on Madison Ave in New York City back in 1990, Vera Wang has been at the forefront of fashion. She has single-handedly changed the wedding and evening gown industry making people gravitate more towards sophisticated gowns with intricate detailing. Her efforts in the fashion industry have awarded her much recognition like the title of “Womenswear Designer of the Year” back in 2005. Now, she has become a household name around the world with bridal boutiques in London, Tokyo, and Sydney.

Not only has she created head-turning gowns for others, she’s also been seen on multiple occasions commanding attention at red-carpet events. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, Wang attended many exclusive events like the Met Gala wearing gowns that often accompanied dramatic detailing like sequin embellishments or fur trimming. She usually gravitated towards neutral gowns which she would usually pair with strappy sandals or platform pumps.
