Let’s talk about icons. Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren, two of Hollywood’s most legendary women, made waves at L’Oréal’s Paris Fashion Week show on Sunday, October 1, in France. They didn’t just walk the runway—they made a statement. These ladies, who have decades of experience under their belts, proved that age is nothing but a number when it comes to style, confidence, and grace. And let’s just say, the world was watching.
Red Carpet Ready: Jane and Helen’s Fashion Moments
Jane Fonda, at 79, looked absolutely stunning in a figure-hugging animal print Balmain dress. The dress was bold, chic, and perfectly tailored to her, and she accessorized it with a show-stopping diamond necklace. Helen Mirren, 72, wasn’t far behind. She opted for a sleek black coat paired with wide-legged checkered pants and understated jewelry. Her look was modern, sophisticated, and undeniably fabulous. Both women brought their A-game, and the runway was all the better for it.
A Legacy with L’Oréal
It’s no secret that both Jane and Helen have been long-time collaborators with L’Oréal. Jane started her journey with the brand way back in September 2014, starring in her first campaign for the beauty powerhouse. Helen joined the team shortly after, and together, they’ve been ambassadors for the idea that beauty knows no age limit. In her own words, Helen once said, “I am not gorgeous and I never was, but I was always okay looking and I’m keen to stay that way.” Now, that’s real talk.

Helen added, “I have always loved the L’Oréal Paris brand, and I hope I can inspire other women towards greater confidence by making the most of their natural good looks. We are all worth it!” And who could argue with that? Jane, too, has been vocal about embracing her age. In a recent interview, she said, “I have a strong belief that older people have a greater sense of well-being. Older women, in particular, it’s like, ‘What the hell do we have to lose?’”
Jane’s Reflections on Legacy
Jane went on to share her thoughts on leaving a mark on the world. “We all wonder what, if anything, we’re going to leave behind. My ability to understand what my life means—to put it in a way that can be meaningful to other people—that’s the gift I would leave behind. It’s the strangeness of my life that is the most important thing about me, more than any particular part of my work.” Powerful stuff, right?
These women aren’t just walking the runway—they’re rewriting the rules of beauty, aging, and confidence. They remind us that it’s not about chasing youth but embracing who we are at every stage of life.
