Jane Fonda, 88, stuns with radiant silver curls at New York premiere

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 as she posed on the red carpet at the event, 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, Jane 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 and members of the Gaslit cast, but it was Jane’s timeless beauty and confident presence that stole the spotlight.

For decades, Jane has been admired not only for her acting talent but also for her impeccable sense of style.

The Grace and Frankie star has often spoken candidly about ageing and embracing every stage of life, insisting she feels better now than she did in her younger years.

“I feel better than I did when I was younger. I have more confidence than I did when I was younger,” she told Marie Claire.

Her outlook on beauty was shaped by an unforgettable piece of advice from none other than Hollywood legend Katharine Hepburn.

Jane recalled working alongside Katharine on the 1981 classic On Golden Pond when the screen icon gave her a perspective that would stay with her forever.

“I didn’t use to pay very much attention to how I looked. And you know who made me think about it was Katharine Hepburn,” Jane explained.

The actress remembered Katharine approaching her one day on set and grabbing her cheeks.

“She reached over and took hold of my cheeks and said, ‘What? What does this mean to you?'”

Katharine then shared words that transformed Jane’s thinking about beauty and self-presentation. “She said, ‘This is your box, your container. What do you want to say to the world with your container?'”

Jane admitted that before that moment she believed paying attention to her appearance was a sign of vanity. “Up until then, I had thought that being self-conscious was bad,” she said. “But Katharine Hepburn taught me that being conscious of self is a good thing, that how you present yourself is important.”
