Pictures shared online show Bridget appearing delighted to be leaving Tinsel Town. She was seen hopping out of the car at the airport and handling her luggage before heading into the terminal with her son.
Opting for comfort for the journey, Bridget wore a black top paired with matching slacks and an open olive-green button-down shirt. The “Jackie Brown” star, known for her role as flight attendant Melanie Ralston in the crime thriller, was seen with her gray hair styled in a loose bun.

Bridget accessorized with glasses, a vibrant purse, and sneakers. She went for minimal makeup, highlighting her natural beauty during this rare appearance.
The actress flashed a bright smile before embracing a woman who had stopped curbside to drop them off. As they made their way into the airport, Bridget and her son, Oliver Elfman, donned black masks.

Mother and son pictures were shared online, leaving people astonished by the actress’s changed appearance compared to the previous years. One online user noted, “She looks like she’s losing weight since that last photo from last year. Could it be Ozempic?”

Another person also thought that Bridget looked better than the last time she was spotted. The individual speculated, “Maybe Ozempic??? 🤷🏻”
During this occasional sighting, Bridget’s left hand was notably bare, as she was not wearing her wedding ring. This detail stands out, especially given that her husband, Danny Elfman, has recently faced serious allegations of sexual abuse and harassment. The two got married in 2003.

Bridget is the daughter of the late actor Peter Fonda and niece of Jane Fonda. The Emmy-nominated actress is known for her roles in films such as 1992’s “Singles,” 1993’s “Point of No Return,” and 1990’s “The Godfather Part III” (1990).

As a civilian, she goes about her life without always being in the limelight. In September 2022, Bridget Fonda was spotted in a significant shift from her glamorous style when she was in Hollywood.

The actress complemented her outfit with gray sneakers and a shoulder bag. Similar to the 2024 spotting, she went for a natural look with no makeup. Her long brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail with a hint of gray visible at her roots.
Fans of Bridget may have missed her onscreen but when a paparazzo asked her if she would be coming back to Hollywood, she quickly answered “No.”
The paparazzo, who spotted Bridget at Los Angeles International Airport in April 2023, asked for an explanation and the actress noted, “I don’t think so. It’s too nice being a civilian.”
Bridget has no plans to return to Hollywood and no director can convince her otherwise. The actress is enjoying the contentment in her personal life.
