Jane Fonda, a titan of both cinema and activism, demonstrated the art of timeless power dressing on Thursday night, arriving at the 2025 Women’s Media Awards in a stunning satin ensemble that perfectly mirrored her enduring brilliance. At 87, the two-time Academy Award winner did more than just attend the event she co-founded; she illuminated the red carpet and the stage, proving that true style is a potent combination of elegance and purpose.
The legendary actress and activist commanded attention at the JW Marriott Essex House in a sophisticated, impeccably tailored satin pantsuit. The effortless ensemble caught the light, creating a soft, shimmering effect. The jacket featured a modern cut with clean lines and was paired with elegant, wide-leg trousers. Underneath, a simple camisole completed the monochromatic look, creating an unbroken column of shimmery color.
Her presence at the ceremony was far more than a style moment; it was a homecoming. Fonda co-founded The Women’s Media Center in 2005 alongside Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem with a mission: to make women more visible and powerful in media. Last night’s event celebrated the organization’s 20th anniversary, a testament to the founders’ prescient vision and unwavering dedication.

The organization has been instrumental in challenging the misrepresentation of women in media and championing diverse voices, a cause Fonda has championed for much of her life.
