Andie MacDowell has been an icon for decades. She started her career as a model before transitioning to a leading lady in films.

The longtime L’Oréal spokesperson has appeared in classic films including Sex, Lies and Videotape, Four Weddings and a Funeral, St. Elmo’s Fire, and many more.

She was spotted out in Los Angeles on Friday walking her cute dog wearing a black sweater and black sweatpants.

The Maid actress, 65, had a mint green scarf around her neck and a grey coat tied around her waist.

Andie tucked her famous salt-and-pepper grey hair into a denim hat.

The night before, the Groundhog Day actress looked stunning as she attended the 18th Annual L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Celebration.

Andie has been a spokesperson for the cosmetics company since 1986. The event was held at the trendy NeueHouse Hollywood.

At the event on Thursday, the Hudson Hawk actress spoke about her long history with L’Oréal. 

‘When I started [working with L’Oréal Paris], I was young. When I signed with them, I found out I was pregnant and I was afraid that I would lose the contract. But, it didn’t have any negative effect,’ she told People. 

‘I did commercials when I was eight months pregnant and I would do commercials literally right after having a baby. So, I have grown up with L’Oréal Paris, and that’s been a huge part of my life.’

And she’s grateful that L’Oréal has stood behind her choice to go gray. 

‘I think it’s an individual choice. My two oldest sisters will color their hair forever,’ she said.

‘So, I think everybody has to make their individual choice about how they feel about aging, what they want to do as they age, and what makes them more comfortable.’ 

During an interview with Vogue in 2021 she elaborated on the decision.

‘I’ve never felt more powerful. I feel more honest. I feel like I’m not pretending,’ she explained.

‘I feel like I’m embracing right where I am. I feel really comfortable. And in a lot of ways, I think it’s more striking on my face. I just feel like it suits me.’ 

She decided to embrace the gray during the COVID-19 quarantine when hair salons were closed. 

‘Every time my kids would see me, they kept telling me I looked badass with my gray hair. When I pulled it up in a bun, all you could see was the salt and pepper, which is what I am, you know, dark and silver,’ she shared.

‘I like to compare myself to George Clooney because why not? I’ve been saying for a while now it was time for me, personally, to make that transition because I felt like it was appropriate for my personality and just who I am.’
