Let’s be honest — we pay most attention to the Cannes Film Festival because of the glamor on the red carpet. And Jane Fonda certainly did not disappoint.
on Second act premiere and opening ceremony on May 14, Fonda wore a stunning Elie Saab appliqué and beaded jumpsuit and animal print coat. But our eyes were on her feet—more specifically, her mirrored silver patent leather Margaux Mary Janes.

Mary Janes are an elegant alternative to uncomfortable lounges or more casual ballet flats and instantly dress up different combinations. Even a simple jeans and t-shirt look gets fresh when you throw them on before leaving the house. Fonda isn’t the only celebrity wearing them, either—Katie Holmes was recently spotted in New York wearing a pastel blue pair from ATP Atelier.
Mary Janes come in all colors, of course, but thanks to Fonda, we’re definitely looking at them in sparkly silver. If you love the ones she wore but are a little wary of the $295 price tag, there are tons of brands that are banking on this trend that you must try, with prices starting at just $40.
