Vera and American investor Arthur tied the knot in 1989 and adopted their two girls before splitting in 2012 after 23 years of marriage.

The mother-of-two, who is reportedly worth an estimated $650 million, has continuously stunned fans with her age-defying looks.

She spoke to DailyMail.com about aging while attending the DKMS Gala in New York City in January.

Vera explained, 'I think what happens sometimes as you age... I'm more frightened about physical disabilities... not all this.

'I'm not totally preoccupied with how I look. I love my work, and I'm very passionate about my work, my friends, my daughters... I mean, I have a very full life.'

When asked if she has gained more confidence with age, she replied: 'I've devoted my whole life to dressing women and styling women. 

'From my years at Vogue magazine, I was an editor for 17 years, to working for Ralph Lauren, designing for my own company, my whole life has been about empowering women.' 

Vera resigned from Ralph Lauren at the age of 40 and became an independent bridal wear designer, creating custom made gowns for the likes of Ariana Grande, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Victoria Beckham, and Kim Kardashian.
