Andie MacDowell isn’t shying away from her 64 years one bit — she’s embracing all of the joy and freedom that comes with this season of life. Her gorgeous silver-gray hair was also inspired by one of her family members: her older sister.

The actress revealed to People that her sister’s “full-on silver” made her “jealous” because “she looked so much more beautiful” with that shade of hair. When the pandemic hit, it gave the L’Oréal Paris international spokeswoman time to reassess  her hair situation. “During COVID, I could see the roots with my face and with my skin and my eyes, and I liked it,” she admitted. “I felt that I would be happier. And I am happier. I really like it.”

MacDowell is also passing those life lessons down to her daughters, Rainey Qualley, 32, and Margaret Qualley, 27, to be “kinder” to themselves. “Aging is a really, really intimate educator on loving yourself because you can’t stop it,” she explained. “It’s going to happen.” MacDowell is showing everyone how a little bit of self-love goes a long way to living your best life in your 60s and beyond.
