Jane Fonda was a glittering vision in sequins on Tuesday evening as she arrived at the opening ceremony and The Electric Venus screening during the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in France.
The Grace and Frankie actress, 88, stepped onto the red carpet wearing a glorious Gucci gown featuring a high neck, structured shoulders, and long sleeves. The full-length skirt surpassed her ankles and pooled elegantly around her feet.

An ageless look

"The silhouette of the gown is timelessly elegant, while the all-over sequins add a modern edge and confidence to the look. It's understated yet incredibly impactful - a wonderful reminder that great style is about attitude, not age.

A contrasting red carpet outfit

Stepping out for the 2026 TCM Classic Film Festival Opening Night Gala screening of Barefoot In The Park at TCL Chinese Theatre, the star rocked a vibrant purple blazer, pants, and a shirt to match.
