World-renowned fashion designer Vera Wang made headlines at the BAFTA Awards night with a dramatic hair transformation.
On the 23rd (local time), according to U.S. entertainment outlet Page Six, Vera Wang appeared on the red carpet of the BAFTA Awards 2026 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, England on the 23rd. That day she shed her usual brunette hair and appeared with a platinum blonde hairstyle, drawing the spotlight at the venue.
The reason this transformation drew more attention was that just one day earlier she appeared in a completely different look at the BAFTA nominees party. At that event, Vera Wang wore brunette hair with caramel highlights, a black bandeau top and maxi skirt, a fur muff and leather opera gloves, and a black statement hat from New York milliner brand Essential.
She also posted on social media at the time, MAD-HATTER moment!, introducing the style herself. Vera Wang completed an Olympic schedule in Milan before traveling to London, and as a former figure skater she was reported to have watched the women's singles final with her daughter Josephine.
In fact, Vera Wang's hair reversals are not new. At the 2025 BAFTA nominees reception she wore a platinum blonde straight wig and then the next day at the main awards she appeared with a brunette bob, creating buzz. At the time she interacted with fans with a witty line, Would blond be more fun?
Vera Wang, who has dressed world stars such as Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Victoria Beckham for their wedding gowns, has remained composed about interest in her "youthful appearance." Last year she said, It's not that I'm ageless at all, noting, I have spent most of my time working or raising children. That's just kept me busy.
Last June, Vera Wang drew attention again when she showed up at her 76th birthday party held at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris wearing a black dress adorned with the number 76 in gold crystals. She once joked frankly that junk food and vodka were her secret to looking young, saying, I even eat McDonald's two weeks in a row, which prompted laughter.
