Vera Wang’s children describe her as an ‘opinionated’ mother
Years ago, Vera’s eldest child told Teen Vogue, “I'll know if it's a good or bad outfit right off the bat. She's [Vera] very open, but she definitely has an opinion.”
Cecilia added, “When I was three, my mom made a wedding dress for my Halloween costume — I didn't take it off for days. I knew there was something different about my family when my sister and I got to model in her runway shows as kids.”

But Vera is not a controlling mother as she told Harper's Bazaar in 2011. “I don't live through my kids. But I do know what will happen in life, and I just want them well prepared,” she had said.
