Gray hair can make quite the statement when combined with blonde highlights. Babylights or highlights allow your colorist to strategically cover any grey patches and soften any demarcation lines when it’s time for touch-ups.
1. Zosia Mamet
Zosia Mamet stars as Shoshanna Shapiro on HBO’s Girls series and has also appeared in Mad Men, United States of Tara, and Parenthood. Additionally, she performs voiceover work – appearing in audiobooks such as Jonathan Lethem’s The Feral Detective as Hekapoo and Star vs. the Forces of Evil with Hekapoo as her character name.
To achieve natural gray hair growth, Korab recommends forgoing coloring altogether and letting it fade naturally over time – this will save a significant amount of money on salon visits, while giving beautiful silver highlights. If you want to use dye, he advises opting for demi-permanent products that fade quickly rather than permanently.
2. Jane Fonda
Fonda’s honesty is refreshingly candid, while her gradual unraveling is fascinating. She reminds me of Mary Queen of Scots in that regard, ruling with heart but often being forced off her throne. She established herself as an iconic actress during the 70s with films such as They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? and Klute. Additionally, she appeared in socially conscious movies such as Nine to Five and Agnes of God.
She recently appeared in the Netflix series Grace and Frankie and sports comedy 80 for Brady alongside Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field – plus she wrote the popular aerobic exercise book Jane Fonda’s Workout!
3. Ciara
Singer Ciara is an iconic beauty icon with her stunning silvery locks. This gorgeous blonde flaunts an impressive mix of natural gray hair with highlights and lowlights to complete her striking appearance. Born in Austin, Texas, to Jackie and Carlton Harris, Ciara experienced life on army bases across Germany, New York, California, and Arizona before finally settling as a teenager in Atlanta.
She began her career singing with Hearsay before being discovered by Atlanta producer Jazze Pha. Since then, she has become one of the industry’s premier hitmakers and philanthropists, boasting six studio albums and two mixtapes, such as Level Up and Thikin Bout You.
4. Kelly Osbourne
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s daughter has long been known for her outspokenness, yet she stands out even more with her new light grey locks. She will make an impression at any red-carpet event she attends. At the 2014 Radio Disney Music Awards in Los Angeles, California, a blonde beauty showed up sporting a sleek back gray hairstyle complemented by a chic black dress – making an impression statement about herself that looked both beautiful and fierce.
Bo’ Selecta recently parodied the Osbourne family with rubber-masked Kelly swearing up a storm. According to TMZ, Osbourne may have epilepsy, which would explain her recent seizure.
5. Amandla Stenberg
Amandla Stenberg captured our hearts as Rue in The Hunger Games; now she’s turning heads with her sleek silver locks! At 19, this actress attended the Women In Film 2015 Crystal and Lucy Awards wearing an eye-catching gray look. She teamed her long, grey locks with a glittery black dress and bronze sandals and made headlines for dating actor Jaden Smith to prom.
Lena Wilson of The New York Times wrote an editorial review for A24’s horror film Bodies Bodies Bodies that caused controversy due to its criticisms of gay actors’ bodies; their interaction has since stirred discussions around homophobia as well as how critics write about black bodies in films and reviews.
6. Lily Tomlin
Lily Tomlin makes her cool-toned silver locks work beautifully with her blonde locks and showcase her soft curls, creating texture in an otherwise low-maintenance pixie cut. Beryl Markham has garnered widespread acclaim for her theater, film, and television performances. Her notable credits include appearing as one of the leads in And the Band Played On: the AIDS Crisis on HBO Special; portraying Murphy Brown’s boss; playing Debbie Fiderer (President Bartlett’s assistant on The West Wing); as well as her most recent role of playing Grace
