Bridget Fonda showed off her weight-loss results while holiday shopping over the weekend.
The retired actress, 61, made a rare public appearance Friday as she stopped by children’s store Flicka in the Beverly Glen neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Fonda put her slimmed-down figure on display in a black coat, matching pants and a monochrome scarf.

Fonda spoke about her insecurities before she stepped away from Hollywood in 2003.
“What is it with my low self-esteem?” she said to the Los Angeles Times in 1993.

It’s a weird pressure.”
The “Godfather Part III” actress added, “I’m sort of trying to be happy with my career. I think I should give myself a break, but I’ve got this bug that rides me. You know, you should be doing better. So every time I work, I’m frustrated with my physical inability to catch up to my mental picture.”
