Andie MacDowell has made her grey hair the focal point of her appearances on the red carpet since 2021, and she is talking about how she knew it was the right decision. For nearly forty years, MacDowell has been the face of L'Oréal, representing the company's skin care, hair colour, and cosmetics lines.

My instinct told me that this was what I wanted to accomplish. I am extremely grateful for L'Oréal Paris's assistance and for everyone's encouraging and kind words. MacDowell told People, "The response has been really nice."

I simply want to express my gratitude that people accept me for who I am. Silver hair definitely suits me well, I think many agree. In addition to her dazzling Retrofête pantsuit, black tie-neck bow shirt, and matching clutch, MacDowell accessorised her silver hair for the occasion.
