Andie MacDowell looks amazing with gray hair!
So, many of her fans loved her look when she debuted it on The Drew Barrymore Show in February.
But even though she looked incredible, Andie said she got a lot of pushback from her managers for changing her hair color in a new interview with Vogue.
“During lockdown, I had a lot of downtime and became obsessed with Jack Martin, who did Jane Fonda’s hair,” she explained. “I shared those pictures with a lot of people, going, ‘Hey, I want to do this.’”
And then Andie got a job, and “very quickly I had to make up my mind about what I was going to do,” she said.
The Dashing in December star said she conferred with her managers, who told her that “it’s not time” to change her hair to gray.
“I said, ‘I think you’re wrong, and I’m going to be more powerful if I embrace where I am right now,’” she remembered telling them. “‘It’s time because in two years I’m going to be 65.’”
She added, “‘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!”
After taking a big leap and changing her hair gray, Andie felt more comfortable in her skin.
“I somehow feel like I look younger because it looks more natural. It’s not like I’m trying to hide something,” she explained. “I think that it’s a power move, and that’s what I kept telling my managers. It’s exactly what I need to be doing right here.”
The Groundhog Day star continued, “At first I was so cautious. But then, once I did it, it was just so clear to me that my instincts were right because I’ve never felt more powerful.”
Andie explained, “I feel more honest. I feel like I’m not pretending.”
