Andie MacDowell’s “Badass” Natural Grey Hair Makes Red Carpet Debut at Cannes Film Festival
Life amid a pandemic changed many people’s beauty routines, including Andie MacDowell’s. The actress (known for her iconic curls) used the past few months to experiment with her naturally grey roots. This past week, MacDowell brought her salt-and-pepper style to the red carpet for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival. She previously revealed her kids encouraged her to embrace the colour, and we’re thrilled they did.
Earlier this year, MacDowell gave a little backstory on her hair evolution during a Drew Barrymore Show interview. When she stopped colouring her hair, her daughters, Margaret and Rainey Qualley, told her she looked “badass” with silver streaks at her roots. Their excitement gave MacDowell confidence to become a “silver fox” at age 63. “It’s not that I’m letting myself go, I don’t think of it that way,” she emphasised. Instead, she’s revelling in a new experience for the time being. “I don’t know what’s going to happen in five years, I may colour my hair again, but I’m enjoying it right now.”
