Jane Fonda wears flannel nightgown to bed as she's not trying to impress any men
The 87‑year‑old actress made the admission in an interview on her style, saying her bedtime choice was now her go‑to choice after ending her last relationship.
She told The Times about how she now opts for comfort and simplicity in her night-time wardrobe, revealing about what it consists of: 'A flannel nightgown – because I'm single.'
Jane first tied the knot with French filmmaker Roger Vadim, 19 years her senior, in 1965.
During their eight‑year marriage, they lived in Paris and had a daughter, Vanessa.
She then married activist Tom Hayden in 1973, with whom she had a son, Troy Garity.
In 1991, she began a 10‑year marriage to CNN founder Ted Turner.
Jane later dated record producer Richard Perry from 2009 until their split in 2017.
She added in her chat about her style her yoga pants are her most 'treasured' item of clothing 'because they are easy to put on and take off and they're comfortable'.
When asked to sum up her style, Jane used just one word: 'Simple!'
But she noted she has begun wearing more vibrant colours since embracing her natural grey hair.
'Since my hair has gone grey, I wear more colour, including yellow and green,' she said.
Jane added: 'Even I can look good in those colours, and not a lot of people can say that.'
Jane debuted her grey hair on stage at the 2020 Academy Awards, where she presented Best Picture with a striking pixie cut.
She wore a recycled crimson beaded gown by Elie Saab – originally from the Cannes Film Festival in 2014 – when she arrived on the red carpet.
Her longtime colourist, Jack Martin, told People Jane came to him with a clear vision, saying: 'She showed me her inspiration and immediately decided that I was the guy for the job.'
He described her transformation to 'icy silver blonde' as fearless, noting the process took seven hours. 'If you meet Ms Fonda in person, you'll witness her strong personality and her simplicity at the same time,' he said.
Jack added: 'She is someone who is very far from being nervous about a hair makeover… she's the kind of person who is not afraid of change.'

How to get your French food fix in Perth, inspired by Beauty And The Beast
'Be our guest!' enchanted candlestick Lumiere exclaims in the legendary Beauty And The Beast showstopper. In the decadent dining room of a country chateau, Disney princess Belle is presented with an overwhelming array of classic French dishes, from soup du jour to hot hors d'oeuvres, beef ragout, cheese souffle and 'pie and pudding, en flambe'. The banquet scene will come to life on stage in Perth for the first time when the musical version of Beauty And The Beast makes its debut at Crown Theatre this week. If the mention of such gastronomic delights whets your appetite, but boarding a plane to Paris isn't an immediate option, we have some suggestions for how to get your French fix without leaving WA. So tie your napkin round your neck, cherie! Celebrity chef Guillaume Brahimi's contemporary restaurant at the Crown complex is the obvious choice for a pre-show dinner, with all the traditional suspects appearing on the menu. Start with escargot, then tuck into beef bourguignon and top it off with profiteroles for dessert. Tres bien. Its name may not scream French but this Fremantle bistro is known for its authentic, comforting dishes and warm setting. Housed in a heritage-listed cottage on Essex Street, Angel's House looks to the seasons when planning its culinary offering so there's always an exciting special to try. Down the road in East Fremantle, La Lune oozes Parisian charm with its chic dining room and sidewalk tables (excellent for people-watching). The signature dish is the bavette a la Lune served with bearnaise and frites, or embrace joie de vivre by ordering fresh-baked madeleines with a glass of champagne on a sunny afternoon. The crab toast here is basically a local legend with its own loyal fan club. The Mt Lawley diner's menu is tiny but mighty, with famed fare that foodies return to time and again. Le Rebelle is also big on atmosphere and vibes, making it a prime choice for a French-inspired date night. A carefully curated wine list inspired by the regions of Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and the Rhone is a major drawcard for this neighbourhood restaurant, tucked away in Shenton Park. In addition to its a la carte and brunch offering, La Bastide has a dedicated classics menu that changes monthly showcasing refined French techniques. If desserts are more your flavour, pop into Chu for a sugar hit. Sample buttery sable, smooth creme patisserie, moist frangipane, flaky pastry, airy choux and soft meringue from the cabinet of treats, which is always serving up surprise specials and unexpected flavours. The queue is worth the sweet reward. French food is notoriously tricky for those with dietary requirements, but vegans can have their croissant and eat it, too, thanks to award-winning pastry chef Cedric Manile. His Inglewood bakery crafts an assortment of plant-based goodies and celebration cakes, and he also teaches others tricks of the trade through his academy. + Beauty And The Beast opens in Perth on July 24.

Man left in critical condition after trying to save Malcolm-Jamal Warner
A man left in critical condition after the drowning of Malcolm-Jamal Warner was trying to save him. The 54-year-old actor died after being swept away by a rip current on a beach in Costa Rica over the weekend and another unnamed man – who was injured in the incident – was actually a Good Samaritan who spotted Warner in difficulty and tried to save him. The Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ) told PEOPLE in a statement: "The victim appears to have entered the sea and was apparently swept away by a current. The man was rescued by bystanders and taken to shore, where he received treatment from the Costa Rican Red Cross. However, he was declared lifeless at the scene." A spokesperson for the OIJ confirmed to PEOPLE that the second victim "came in [the water] to help Mr. Warner." The spokesperson added that the other person had no personal connection to Warner, but saw him from the beach and tried to help. The Cosby Show actor Warner was on vacation with his wife and daughter at the time of the accident, according to NBC News. The OIJ also confirmed that Warner's autopsy showed he died from accidental asphyxiation by submersion. It added: 'The body will be removed from the Judicial Morgue by a funeral service company hired by Mr. Warner's family.' Meanwhile, tributes to Malcolm poured in from across the showbiz world, with his 9-1-1 co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt stating that the tragedy "hurts my heart". She wrote on social media: "This hurts my heart. A gentleman, an incredible talent and we were so lucky to have him in the 9-1-1 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family." Comedian Sherri Shepherd described Malcolm as "one of the most-grounded people I've met in our business" after working with him on the TV series Sherri. She said: "As someone who grew up on TV, Malcolm remained one of the most-grounded people I've ever met in our business. To know Malcolm was to know a renaissance man that possessed humour, grace, humility and deep cultural appreciation. He was just a good guy! "His passing is a true loss to the Hollywood community. He was a proud girl dad and loved his daughter so much. To his family, friends and all who loved him - my heart is with you."
