From Sarah Jessica Parker’s comments on grey hair to Pamela Anderson embracing make-up-free skin, Hollywood is finally talking about ageing.
From Sarah Jessica Parker’s comments on ageing to Pamela Anderson embracing her make-up-free skin, Hollywood is having a much-needed conversation about getting older and the double standards women often face.star Andie MacDowell made headlines when she arrived at Cannes with natural, undyed hair.
For MacDowell, going grey was the ultimate “power move” – she had nothing to hide and she felt her hair should reflect that. But, the film industry has a reputation for favouring the young and beautiful. Was she worried? Yes and no. “We all wake up, have a million things going on, and just need to get on with our days – I don’t understand the emphasis that is placed on the pondering of ageing.”
Two summers ago, a photo of Parker dining al fresco with close friend Andy Cohen went viral. Bare-faced with no make-up on, she was pictured with her hair scraped back into a slick ponytail. Theread “Sarah Jessica Parker goes grey!”. “It became months and months of conversation about how brave I am for having grey hair,” Parker noted. “I was like, please,“When I walk out the door, I want to feel ok, according to my standards.
“We don’t do that to men! We love an older man. We love men as they age,” MacDowell noted of the dichotomy between the genders – one that is especially obvious in Hollywood. “I would love the same expectation for women, and we’re getting there… you know, baby steps.”
