Most recently, on November 6, she lit up Beverly Hills at the 2025 Women in Film Honors at the Beverly Hilton, still dazzling in Max Mara as reported by Newscom. Her presence at this event wasn’t just glamour, but a reflection of her decades-long commitment to the empowerment of women in media. Just a week prior, according to People Magazine, Fonda acknowledged what she called a "tough year," reflecting on the deaths of legendary friends, including Hackman and Redford. She quipped about how age brings loss into sharper relief, sharing that “you get to be old and everybody is dying around you.” None of this, however, has slowed her down.
