Famous beauties of the last five decades took to the red carpet last night for opening night gala at New York's Metropolitan opera.
Supermodels and actresses aged from 70 to 35 dressed in their finery for a night of culture at Manhattan's Lincoln Center.
Former fitness queen Jane Fonda, a L'Oreal spokesmodel, looked over a decade younger than her 70 years as she posed in a classic white shirt and sweeping black skirt with two friends.
Sixties siren: Forty years after Barbarella, Jane Fonda (with friends Robin Laughin and Jane Buffett) looks sensational at 70
Forty years after bewitching male fans with Barbarella, Fonda is continuing to defy the ageing process thanks to a healthy diet and exercise.
Fonda is determined to age gracefully in the public eye and give mature women a role model.
She said: 'I'm going to try to organise other women in my profession and my friends to say no to the duck lips and getting rid of the wrinkles.'
Just three years younger and looking equally as good was Bonnie & Clyde star Faye Dunaway.

The Oscar-winning actress went for full-on glamour in a ruffled, halterneck silk dress and matching stole.
Also going for black and revisiting her Eighties heyday was Christie Brinkley in a strapless black mermaid gown.
Brinkley, who divorced her fourth husband Peter Cook earlier this year after a bitter court battle, added some extra glamour with matching gloves and a ruby red clutch bag.
While the more mature celebrities opted for black, their younger counterparts appeared to be following a trend for champagne colours.

Finally, Noughties model-turned-actress Molly Sims, 35, went for a strapless, flowing champagne coloured gown with delicate beading.
Prior to landing a role on hit U.S. TV show Las Vegas, Sims starred in campaigns for Cover Girl and Old Navy as well as appearing in five swimsuit issues of Sports Illustrated magazine.

The Queen actress, 63, was head to toe in purple in a long gown and matching bolero.
Other guests include former E.R. actress Julianna Marguiles, 42, and former U.S. politican and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Henry Kissinger, 85, with his wife Nancy.
