Jane Fonda proved why she remains one of Hollywood's most enduring style icons as she stepped out for the New York premiere of Gaslit this week. The Oscar-winning actress, 88, looked radiant on the red carpet, showcasing her signature silver curls and flawless complexion.
Dressed in a sleek black ensemble featuring wide-leg trousers, pointed black boots and a chic monochrome scarf, Fonda exuded effortless elegance. She added a subtle statement with a black top emblazoned with the word 'resist', and completed the look with gold jewellery and her trademark megawatt smile.
The actress was joined by fellow stars including Alec Baldwin, but it was Fonda's timeless beauty and confident presence that stole the spotlight. The Grace and Frankie star has often spoken candidly about ageing, insisting she feels better now than in her younger years. 'I have more confidence than I did when I was younger,' she told Marie Claire.
Her outlook on beauty was shaped by advice from Hollywood legend Katharine Hepburn while working on the 1981 classic On Golden Pond. Hepburn once grabbed Fonda's cheeks and asked, 'What does this mean to you? This is your box, your container. What do you want to say to the world with your container?'
Fonda admitted she had previously thought paying attention to appearance was a sign of vanity, but Hepburn taught her that 'being conscious of self is a good thing, that how you present yourself is important.'
