Andie MacDowell struts the streets in a chic casual dress, with her gorgeous silvery hair framing her makeup-free face

MacDowell earlier said that she embraced the coming of her gray locks during Covid. “At the very beginning of quarantine, my hair started growing and every time my kids would see me, they kept telling me I looked badass with my gray hair,” she said in an interview with Vogue. “When I pulled it up in a bun, all you could see was the salt and pepper, which is what I am, you know, dark and silver. I like to compare myself to George Clooney because why not? I’ve been saying for a while now it was time for me, personally, to make that transition because I felt like it was appropriate for my personality and just who I am.”

And despite her managers saying that “It’s not time” for her to go gray, she said, “I’m going to be more powerful if I embrace where I am right now. It’s time…If I don’t do it now, I won’t have the chance to be salt and pepper. I always wanted to be salt and pepper!”

In 2022, McaDowell posted a photo of her cover on Style magazine, flaunting her gray hair and natural look. She captioned it, “As we age, we deserve dignity and pride.” She continued, “We deserve to feel glorious! I’ve always said there’s no expiration date on beauty.”

There’s also no expiration date on her acting career.

In 2021, MacDowell starred in the Netflix drama series Maid, alongside her daughter Margaret Qualley, 28, whom she had with ex-husband Paul Qualley. MacDowell and Qualley–married in 1986 and divorced in 1999–share two other children, son Justin and daughter Rainey.

Speaking with USA Today about working with her mom, Margaret said, “You walk in the room and you have your mom playing your mom–that’s the biggest cheat in the world. That goes all the way from the inherent eye rolls that are built-in when your mom says something.” The young actor continues, sharing how there’s a moment in Maid where her mother, playing Paula, tells her character, Alex “that she’s proud of her. It felt like my mom was telling me that she was proud of me, and it was just one of the coolest things that’s ever happened to me.”
