Jessica Lange looked stunning and very agile on stage at the 2024 Oscars on Sunday after she was seen being pushed in a wheelchair only two months ago.
The King Kong actress wore a sparkly V-neck black gown that came in at the waistline and had a decadent mermaid finish.
The 74-year-old Tootsie actress also looked as fresh as can be with a beautiful blonde bob and glamorous makeup that included a pink pout.
The icon was one of the bright lights as she stood next to other former female Oscar winners at the 96th annual Academy Awards.
Alongside her was Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Sally Field and Michelle Yeoh, among others.
The ladies were presenting the Best Actress award to Emma Stone for her turn in Poor Things.
Later, Jessica mingled with stars like Salma Hayek and Olivia Wilde at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.

Jessica – who is best known for her films Crimes Of The Heart and Steel Magnolias – appeared to be in great health.
And the silver screen pinup spoke with confidence in front of the star-studded audience that included Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Emily Blunt.
She also hit the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
The siren was greeted by several other stars who seemed keen to get a photo with her.
Among her fans were Michael Douglas, Selma Blair and Kylie Minogue.
And she was flanked by Top Gun: Maverick stars Glen Powell and Miles Teller.
Olivia Wilde seemed to be enraptured in what Jessica had to say as she pressed her hands together.
Minnie Driver of Good Will Hunting and Will & Grace fame wore a tight gold sequined gown with strappy black heels as she said cheese next to Lange.

This comes after she was spotted on a rare outing with her son Samuel as he took her for a walk in her wheelchair in New York City in January.
It is not known what kind of injury she had that put her in a wheelchair but it must have been something minor as she walked with ease on Sunday.
When in a wheelchair she looked happy as if she was not in much pain.
The Oscar winner braved the chilly weather of the Big Apple in a black puffer jacket and grey sweatpants.

Her son Samuel, 36, kept a low profile in a hoodie, baseball cap and dark coat.
The legendary star – who returned to Ryan Murphy’s Feud limited series for its second season Capote vs The Swans – has been recovering from an injury sustained at a dog park.
A spokesperson for Lange said the actress was ‘healthy and well.’

Jessica and Sam were together for three decades. They never married, but first started dating in 1982, after meeting on the set of the film Frances.
They split in 2009, though they didn’t announce their separation until 2011.
Sam died on July 27, 2017 at age 73 from complications related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Meanwhile, Jessica was seen out for a stroll in her wheelchair alongside Susan Sarandon in December.

The two actresses worked together as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in Murphy’s Feud in 2017.
The series focused on the well-documented rivalry between Crawford and Davis during and after the production of their 1962 thriller What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?.
Murphy told the New York Times at the time, ‘It was very fun to have those two women and to be in a position of leadership on the set.’
‘Because make no mistake, when you’re doing a show with those two, they have a lot of opinions, and they’re always right because they’ve been around the block.’
Jessica’s first Oscar came in 1983 for her role in Tootsie, where she portrayed a struggling actress. She won the Best Supporting Actress trophy
Her second win was for Best Actress in 1995 for her powerful performance in Blue Sky, where she played a mentally unstable military wife
