Beloved ’90s star of The Nanny, Fran Drescher<\/a>, 68, is out proving age ain’t nothing but a number again. The actress continues her recent head-turning tour across red carpets, stepping out last night to support the New York City Ballet.<\/p>\n

Drescher was definitely not to be missed at the New York City Ballet\u2019s 2026 Spring Gala, wearing a gorgeous form-fitting, head-to-toe black lace gown. She appeared at the event with her bestie ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobson.<\/p>\n

Drescher took to Instagram<\/a> to share about her evening at the Lincoln Center in NYC.<\/p>\n

“What a night of music<\/a>, dance & NY glitterati!” Drescher wrote. “Mick Jagger<\/a> was the honorary Chair and came on stage with Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and both were cheeky and funny and delightful!”<\/p>\n

Both Drescher and Jagger served together on the gala’s Host Committee this year.<\/p>\n

In her typical fearless style, Drescher also took a moment in her Instagram post to get into a good story about sharing a joint with Jagger in back in the early 2000s:<\/p>\n

“I got to tell Mick how 20 yrs ago i was invited to Jerry Hall\u2019s 50th in London and was seated at the children\u2019s table being a last minute invite when it became known I was in town,” she writes. “Mick came over and sat with us for a bit. He pulled out a rolled joint that was cut with tobacco, as the English do, I had already quit smoking but thought to myself, I am not going to miss this moment to share a reefer with Mick as he passed me the J!”<\/p>\n

Drescher continues to lead her Cancer Schmancer<\/a> health organization (she’s a celebrated uterine cancer survivor herself!) and is serving her second term as president of the SAG-AFTRA union. She starred brilliantly in the 2026 film Marty Supreme, alongside actor Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a>, who recently landed himself in hot water when he said “no one cares about” ballet<\/a> and opera.<\/p>\n

“You live, you learn,” Drescher said in response to Chalamet’s comments<\/a> at the time. “Even though he may have come across a bit cavalier\u2014in reality, I think that he has a great respect and regard for the arts.”<\/p>\n
