Going gray is a natural part of getting older and actor Andie MacDowell has fully embraced that fact. But it's not just missing a few hair dying sessions; MacDowell shows off her silver hair at some high profile events. Most recently, that included Paris Fashion week. Paris Fashion week ran this fall from September 26 to October 4. On Sunday, MacDowell walked the catwalk for L'Oréal Paris' "Le Défilé Walk Your Worth," as the 64-year-old actor is also a L'Oréal Paris international spokeswoman, a role she's held since 1986.

Andie MacDowell addresses aging and beauty View this post on Instagram A post shared by L'Oréal Paris Official (@lorealparis) "I think women are tired of the idea that you can’t get old and be beautiful," MacDowell commented. "Men get old and we keep loving them. And I want to be like a man. I want to be beautiful and I don’t want to screw with myself to be beautiful." Making that final jump to completely gray was, in the end, exacerbated by COVID-19. Lockdown kept a lot of people out of the salons, which meant roots grew in. "I'd been wanting to do it for a few years," MacDowell admitted about going gray. "And then when COVID happened and I saw the roots coming in, I thought it suited me." NO MAN'S LAND, Andie MacDowell, 2021. ph: Jorge Cornejo / © IFC Films / Courtesy Everett Collection Everything about MacDowell's rise to stardom saw her going against the grain. For one thing, she was reportedly once told by a client that she, standing at 5 foot 8 and weighing 132 pounds, was too overweight to model.
