If there's one thing Vera Wang knows, it's style.

Ahead of her 71st birthday, the fashion designer chose to also honour the LGBTQI+ community with a flashy rainbow-coloured manicure while showing off her incredibly toned figure.

Decked out in athleisure wear with her very own designer sunnies, Wang commemorated the anniversary of the legalisation of gay marriage in all 50 US states by the Supreme Court.

"A historic day for equality & LOVE," she wrote in the caption.

One fan eager to find out her secret to her ageless appearance wrote, "Tell us where the fountain of youth is please," while another demanded that she "tell us your secrets."

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Wang opened up about how she is coping with quarantine amid coronavirus, citing exercise and supportive friends being two main factors that have helped her through lockdown.

"If you are lucky enough to be with a group of people you know so well and have travelled with so extensively, being restricted can bring so many positive and different nuances to the experience," she told the outlet. "All of them are extremely fit, which pushed me to 'work out' most days. But on another level, the fact we could speak about life, love, work, priorities, family, even fears made each day a new experience. Forcing ourselves to celebrate each life event from birthdays, anniversaries, holidays such as Easter, even births, and sadly, illnesses, helped me to see the need to treasure these milestones no matter what."
