You may associate Jane Fonda with her decade-long acting career, which includes films such as: monster of righteousness, book cluband the Netflix show grace and frankie; but she has also proven to be a prominent activist fighting climate change.
Yesterday in New York City time hosted its annual 2024 Earth Awards to recognize individuals who are making a positive impact on the planet. Fonda was recognized for her leadership in fostering a more sustainable future.
The actress wore a very cool purple suit with a coordinating purple blouse underneath. Gold jewelry served as the cherry on top, and soft, voluminous curls and a red lip completed the look. But I can’t talk about Fonda’s look without mentioning her bold shoes.

Fonda’s metallic shoes, with their strappy fronts and chunky block heels, are reminiscent of the style worn by Amal Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez, and more. The shoe adds a flashy element to an already exciting ensemble, proving that metallics can be the new neutral, making a once daunting trend approachable.
The open-toe front is perfect for spring, and the sandal-like silhouette is perfect for warmer days. Fonda convinced me to swap out my typical white sneakers for this statement look. Imagine him wearing these naturalizer babes in wide leg jeans. It would be a shame to miss this.But I have a confession: I wear similar shoes all the time. Year, rely on shoes like disco balls to instantly upgrade your look. So I’m glad that the rest of the fashion world is finally getting on board.
Fonda-inspired sandals are super easy to make yourself. Opt for a lower heel and thicker straps, like the Franco Sarto Nora shoes, or consider the Marc Fisher LTD version, which has a higher stiletto heel. More affordable options, like this $33 item on sale on Amazon, are just as good. As long as you can secure a pair that suits your aesthetic and lifestyle, you’ll be fine.
