Jane Fonda made a stylish return to Los Angeles on Friday, touching down at LAX in a striking leopard-print trench coat after attending the Cannes Film Festival. The 77-year-old actress wore the eye-catching jacket over a simple all-black outfit as she strolled through the airport.
Ms Fonda has been in Cannes promoting her latest film, Youth, directed by Paolo Sorrentino and co-starring Michael Caine. The movie, which is competing for the Palme d'Or, follows two 80-year-old friends on holiday in the Alps as they reflect on their lives.
Speaking earlier this week, the actress expressed surprise at being considered a fashion icon at her age. 'Isn't it weird? In my dotage!' she told W Magazine. 'I think it's a hoot that, at my age, people are calling me a fashion icon.'
Ms Fonda, who has been in the entertainment industry for six decades, admitted she feels most confident in structured outfits that accentuate her waist and hips. 'I've always had a good bum,' she joked.
The star also revealed that her upper arms remain a point of insecurity. 'These only come out during candlelight on a very dark evening,' she quipped. Despite this, she acknowledged that being self-conscious is not necessarily negative, adding, 'When you're young, you can get away with more.'
