Hollywood celebrities are showing how to let your grey hair shine in a society that shuns it.
It has been considered a ‘brave’ and ‘interesting’ choice for women to do as it goes against classic beauty standards.
However, society is changing and more and more women are celebrating ageing with their grey hair.
Here are all the celebrities who have embraced their grey hair:
Helen Mirren

Helen Mirren has been an advocate for grey hair for years now but she admitted that it wasn’t a statement but simply because she was lazy.
Hellen spoke to People about her views on grey hair being directly linked with a certain age, “I think women were just so terrified of having white or grey hair because it immediately put them into a different category. And of course, you are in that age group. I’m sorry, but you are! So, why not just embrace it, go along with it and welcome it? Make it a positive thing as opposed to a negative thing.”

Andie MacDowell stepped out at the L’Oréal Paris Fashion Week show with her gorgeous grey locks after deciding to stop colouring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Andie hits back at saying the grey hair ‘ages’ people, “It makes me laugh when someone says it makes me look older. You know I’m 65, what do you think, I look 75 just because I let my hair go?”
Jennifer Aniston

SJP has been very open about how she doesn’t think ‘brave’ is a compliment for women embracing grey hair, “It became months and months of conversation about how brave I am for having grey hair. I was like, please please applaud someone else’s courage on something.”
Meryl Streep

No one can do grey hair better than Miranda Priestly herself. Meryl seemingly has kept the hairstyle she had in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.
Ten years later in 2015, Meryl re-debuted her grey hair in real life and has pretty much done so ever since.
Jamie Lee Curtis

There aren’t many hair colours Diane Keaton can’t pull off but after platinum blonde and brunette, we think grey is her best colour.
