Legendary Actress, 87, Stuns in Monochromatic Purple Look originally appeared on Parade.
Jane Fonda knows how to work it in front of the cameras.
The iconic actress and activist, 87, got plenty of attention at the MOCA Gala at The Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 31. There to deliver remarks honoring philanthropist Wendy Schmidt, Fonda looked stunning in a monochromatic purple look.
The Oscar-winning actress and mastermind behind Jane Fonda's Workout wore a violet suit. Under the purple blazer, she wore a matching purple collared shirt. She paired that with metallic silver sandals and wore her gray hair in soft, thick waves as she worked the carpet next to Schmidt.

Last month, Fonda opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about her incredible career trajectory and explained that she has no intention of slowing down anytime soon. But instead of taking on intense dance cardio these days, she prefers walking and strength training.
'It has to do with how you move, how you carry yourself, your posture,' she told THR. 'And you can't carry yourself well and have good posture if your back isn't strong. So staying strong and flexible — and I work a lot on balance — this is all critical for staying young. I'm 87, and I'll tell you what, I was a lot older at 20 than I am at 87, and it has to do with what's going on in your head. So in some ways, I'm younger today. But it also just makes a huge difference as a performer; walking down a red carpet, for example, you can do it with confidence, because you don't worry about falling down. It just makes all the difference in the world, and I feel very grateful that I'm able to continue doing it.'Legendary Actress, 87, Stuns in Monochromatic Purple Look first appeared on Parade on Jun 2, 2025

Harris Dickinson Talks Taking On 'Iconic' Mr Darcy As His Next Role
If you thought that Jane Austen's Mr Darcy couldn't get any better than Colin Firth's 1995 wet-shirt portrayal, then you might just need to think again, based on the latest news that actor Harris Dickinson will portray the writer's most famous love interest. To celebrate Jane Austen's 250th birthday this year Audible, creator of audio storytelling, will launch an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with the Babygirl actor starring opposite Bafta-winning actor Marisa Abela (Industry and Back to Black) as Elizabeth Bennet. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Other cast members include Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Bill Nighy, Will Poulter, Jessie Buckley, Sophie Wilde, David Gyasi, Rosalind Eleazar and Glenn we're already hooked. Premiering on September 9, Dickinson says that it's the enduring appeal of the period drama that attracted him to the role: 'Playing Mr. Darcy was an amazing experience. I've always known him as this iconic character, but getting to really dive into the novel through this process gave me a whole new appreciation for him and the world. Being part of such a talented cast made it even better. It's a real privilege to be part of something so timeless.' While Marisa Abela says that Elizabeth Bennet, who will share far more of her inner world in this adaptation, 'is one of the most fiercely intelligent and iconic characters in literature and stepping into her shoes has been an incredible honour. What I love about this adaptation is how it lets us hear her inner world in such a vivid, intimate way.' It sure is going to be intimate – one of the most popular reasons people chose to listen to Audible books, whether for company on a commute or as part of a wind-down routine, is to experience storytelling more directly. And Dickinson finds himself in good company: the role of Mr Darcy has been portrayed by Laurence Olivier in 1940 and by Matthew Macfadyen in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation for the big screen. Meanwhile, earlier this year Netflix announced that Dolly Alderton, agony aunt and author of the chart-topping Everything I Know About Love, is writing the screenplay for a Pride and Prejudice series starring ELLE UK's recent cover star Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden. 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,' Dolly Alderton said at the time of the announcement. A truth universally acknowledged that it's going to be a good year for Pride and Prejudice fans. And in the meantime, there's always Jane Austen dressing to see you through.

'The Gentlemen' season 2: Everything we know so far
"The Gentlemen" season 2 will see Guy Ritchie's raucous black comedy-drama returning to Netflix for more slick fun. Conceived as a spin-off from Ritchie's 2019 movie of the same name, "The Gentlemen" introduced us to Eddie Horniman (Theo James), an English aristocrat who unexpectedly inherits the Halstead estate after his father's death. After discovering a cannabis farm run by Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) on the grounds, Eddie discovers his new title (Duke of Halstead) brings plenty of drama. What followed was a classic Ritchie caper: a chaotic, violent, and occasionally ridiculous descent into criminality that saw our upstanding Duke teaming with Susie to keep the business (and his family) afloat and out of danger. It might not be "Wednesday" popular, and hasn't quite crept into the streamer's all-time top 10, but "The Gentlemen" was reasonably well received, was a No. 1 show around the world, and it spent no less than 10 weeks in the streamer's Top 10 charts. A return to the Halstead Estate certainly felt possible, and in August 2024, Netflix finally gave us the good news: "The Gentlemen" would be back. Here's everything we know about "The Gentlemen" season 2 right now. Unfortunately, we don't have a release date for "The Gentlemen" season 2 just yet. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The series was renewed back in August 2024, with confirmation that filming would begin in 2025 (via THR). Recently, Netflix confirmed that filming on the new series had finally gotten underway... which likely means we won't be seeing more from the Halstead lot until 2026 at the earliest. Hopefully, we'll get an update soon. Need something to watch while you wait for "The Gentlemen" season 2 to arrive? Be sure to check out our round-up of the best Netflix shows for more streaming recommendations to keep you occupied. Another round, Captain? The Gentlemen will return for Season 2. 14, 2024 When the show was first renewed in August 2024, we only knew that Eddie Horniman (Theo James), ruthless gangster Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario), and Eddie's unpredictable brother, Freddy (Daniel Ings), were due to return. Thanks to that production update we mentioned earlier, we know who else will reprise their roles and the identity of a few new faces who've joined "The Gentlemen" season 2. The returning cast also includes the following: And here's all the new names stepping into the frame for "The Gentlemen" season 2: Thankfully, we don't have to do much guesswork on this front, as Netflix has already shared a synopsis that gives us a clear idea of what to expect from the show. It reads: "It's been one year since Eddie and Susie joined forces to work together in Bobby's criminal empire overseas. As they drive to expand their enterprise, the decisions Bobby is making seem to be increasingly unsound. Now Eddie and Susie must decide whether to take action or risk losing it all, but unfettered ambition never ends well..." Speaking with Tudum, Ritchie teased higher stakes and let slip that the show's going to move beyond the borders of England's lush countryside. "I am delighted to return to set for Season 2 of "The Gentlemen"," Ritchie said. "This chapter sees a deliberate expansion, both geographically and thematically, as we journey from the English countryside to the Italian lakes. "Eddie and Susie find themselves navigating an increasingly volatile empire as they're besieged on all fronts by an influx of enigmatic new players. The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew," he adds. It's not a trailer, as such, but when production was confirmed, Netflix did treat us to a short clip from "The Gentlemen" season 2 set that saw Theo and Kaya kicking production off with a bang, but it doesn't give much away about the new season. Oi, behave. The Gentlemen Season 2, starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, is NOW IN PRODUCTION. 28, 2025 With filming only just underway (at the time of writing), I wouldn't expect to see "The Gentlemen" season 2 trailer anytime soon. Keep checking back, though, as we'll be sure to share any footage here.
