Andie MacDowell is getting more stunning with age.
The acclaimed actress, 67, who is best known for roles in movies like Four Weddings and a Funeral, St. Elmo’s Fire, and Sex, Lies, and Videotape, attended the Giorgio Armani fashion show during the Milan Fashion Week this week in Milan, Italy, and was stunning enough to work the runway herself. Dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, the beauty sported her full gray hair tucked back into a chic, low bun. Aging like a fine wine, MacDowell seems to be getting more beautiful as the years pass by.

Embracing Her Gray Hair
MacDowell pointed out to NewBeauty in 2024 that nobody would care about her gray hair if she were a man. But the idea that she embraces the color as a woman is seen as revolutionary.
“I finally got the courage during COVID when I saw it with my eyes and my skin color,” MacDowell said. “Once it was growing out, I could see what the color was going to be like, and I really loved it. I knew it was time.”
Refusing to Feel ‘Shameful’ About Aging
Recently, MacDowell joined The Drew Barrymore Show by video to drop some serious knowledge about the pressure women feel to “look young” despite growing older.
“Our dear friend of the show who comes here all the time — and someone I worked with when I was 16 years old — the great Andie MacDowell, she sent us in a video,” Drew Barrymore shared with the audience during the “50 F—Its” segment. (The duo appeared together in the 1994 western Bad Girls alongside Madeleine Stowe and Mary Stuart Masterson.) “And I think it really talks about and addresses some of the expectations that we put on ourselves, that society puts on us. Take a look at this.”
“I love you, Drew! Thank you for doing this,” MacDowell shared. “I look back at my grandmother, who was the matriarch. A strong woman. We just revered her. We respected her. We never would’ve ever expected her to look young. That was not a concept that existed.”
The actress continued, explaining that the way she looks as she ages is up to her, not what society says she should look like.
“This concept has demeaned us as we age. It has now made us feel shameful,” she shared. “I have three little grandchildren and I’m gonna be a grandmother for them and I’m gonna look like I’m supposed to look, because I love myself. And I don’t have to look young. And I love you for doing this!”
Barrymore was joined by a panel that included Halle Berry, Valerie Bertinelli, and Nate Burleson to discuss the topic of aging, particularly after the age of 50.
