On this very special episode of The Look, a table of legends joins the show to talk about aging.
Actress and activist Jane Fonda, former model and activist Bethann Hardison, and designer and businesswoman Jenna Lyons join Michelle Obama to discuss what it means to age: to not just physically evolve, but also to come closer to our own purpose with age. Plus, they share some surprising advice about love.
