Dorothy Wang’s $15,000 products through these links.
For as glamorous and wealthy as Dorothy Wang is, she isn’t spending as much as you think…at least on her beat. After starring inRich Kids of Beverly HillsandBling Empire, the billionaire heiress knows people expect her to be dropping big bucks on all the latest lasers and injectables, but Wang maintains that she’s reeled it in as she’s gotten older. “Maybe $10,000 to $15,000 for every three months,” she told me last week. Wang tied the knot with Brandon Yankowitz last October, and like the pro that she is, she made sure to document the whole six-month journey from engagement to walking down the aisle for her YouTube docuseriesDorothy’s “I Do.”But what beauty treatments does a future bride partake in when her special day is swiftly approaching? Before the finale of her five-part series airs this Sunday, I enlisted the Beverly Hills-turned-New York princess to answer my burning questions about baby Botox, delivery room glam, and her secret to getting sculpted before the big day.
FRIDAY 11:30 AM OCTOBER 2, 2026 NEW YORK CITY
ARY RUSSELL:Dorothy, hi.
DOROTHY WANG:HiAry, how are you?
RUSSELL:I’m so excited to be talking to you. Truth be told, I was the biggestRich Kids of Beverly Hillsfan ever. So when this came in my inbox, I told my boss ” No ifs, ands, or buts, I need to do this.”
WANG:Aw, I’m honored. Thank you.
RUSSELL:Are you in L.A. right now?
WANG:I’m actually in New York. The Beverly Hills girl moved to New York and liked it.
RUSSELL:What is the biggest difference that you notice between beauty trends in L.A. versus beauty trends in New York?
WANG:Everyone asks me all the differences all the time. I do really think that people in New York are a bit more conservative.
RUSSELL:Really?
WANG:And that shows in their faces as well. There’s small tweaks, refinements. People in New York don’t want to have the overly-done lips. They want everything to look a little bit more natural, as if they haven’t done anything. In L.A., if you get something done, you want everyone to see and know.
RUSSELL:It’s almost like a signaling of status in L.A., like “I can afford all of the injectables that I want to put on display,” versus in New York, it’s like they want it to be virtually undetectable. The first thing that I noticed, even way back when I was watching you onRich Kids of Beverly Hills,is your skin has remained so buoyant. What are you doing to make it so bouncy?
WANG:You know what? It really is my Chinese genetics. We have high collagen content, and I always had a full face. I’ve been saying to the young girls who feel like they’re not snatched, you will appreciate your fuller face when you get older, when everyone else is losing collagen and your skin is still bouncy. I drink bone broth, I eat collagen, I try to have a lot of protein, eggs, and fish.
RUSSELL:I know everyone swears by Korean skincare, but do you incorporate any sort of Chinese skincare in your routine?
WANG:I don’t use any Chinese skincare, but everything in Chinese culture is good for your skin. There’s a lot of soups and desserts that contain a lot of collagen. There’s a swallow’s nest, but the nest is made from their own spit. It’s kind of crazy.
RUSSELL:Okay.
WANG:That is known as the youthful beauty soup that you drink with this bird’s nest.
RUSSELL:Everyone keeps talking about baby Botox. I’m still not sure what that is. Are we Botox girlies?
RUSSELL:Well, I’ve heard two things. I’ve heard of baby Botox, and preventative Botox.
WANG:I guess it just depends on different levels of Botox. Again, you could do the maintenance Botox, which is just preventative. Then, I guess there’s something that would be more transformative Botox, where you want to actually change the shape of your face, you do a higher dose. Baby Botox is just smaller doses and perhaps it’s just a marketing tool.
RUSSELL:You’re like, “You did Botox, just own it.”
WANG:Yeah, it’s like Botox is Botox. There’s still Botox going into your forehead.
RUSSELL:Exactly. Do you have any go-to topical skincare treatments? Are you doing lasers, peels?
WANG:One thing I recently tried, I did it before the wedding, was Sofwave, and that just keeps you snatched. It’s like laser tightening.
RUSSELL:Okay.
WANG:I mean, it hurts like a bitch, but luckily, the doctor had laughing gas.
RUSSELL:Do you have to go under for that?
WANG:I know people who do go under for Sofwave because it does hurt, but the laughing gas does take the edge off and you’re able to get through it. I am not really good with pain and lasers. But to be honest, I did see really amazing results that lasted for a very long time. It just lifts and tightens, and it builds collagen.
WANG:My thing with beauty is also, you don’t have to do everything, especially when you don’t need it. There’s a lot of things I’ve been offered that I haven’t done because I’m like, “I’m going to wait until I’m 50.” Why waste the time and effort to do it when you’re so young and you don’t need it yet?
RUSSELL:TikTok is a crazy influence. That’s what the whole preventative Botox is. They’re like, “Start preventative Botox at 23 so that way, when you’re 30, it’s like your face never moves.” And I’m like, “I don’t have time for that right now.”
WANG:I’m trying to think. Maybe I started Botox around 23, but you don’t need it.
RUSSELL:Okay, well, thank you.
WANG:I had a lot of movement in my face because I’m so animated when I speak. I know people that do taping, and they do different collagen sticker masks and stuff like that, and they claim that it’s a similar result.
