Vanna White's Evening Gown Routine Involves 10-Pound Dumbbells

Vanna White has been turning letters on Wheel of Fortune for 36 years, and has worn nearly 7,000 evening gowns in the process.

While most of us get gussied up only for special occasions, Vanna has to start at 8am every workday. She sat down with us (in her tastefully decorated dressing room) to explain what it takes to get evening-ready first thing in the morning.

The big takeaways of this routine: Do your hair and makeup simultaneously, have almost as many shoes as dresses, and keep a pair of dumbbells handy.
