Known for her roles in films like “St. Elmo’s Fire,” Macdowell has always been comfortable in her own skin.

I just feel like it’s a different kind of beauty.” She firmly believes that growing older naturally is a beautiful process.

Macdowell has been an advocate for acceptance and self-care. Instead of resorting to plastic surgery, she takes care of her skin through facials and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Throughout her career, she has worked with the cosmetics company L’Oréal, spreading the message that aging is not about losing one’s beauty.

The decision to keep her natural gray hair was inspired by her children, who encouraged and praised her for embracing it. Despite initial pushback from managers, Macdowell stuck to her gun, believing it was the perfect time to showcase her greying hair. She feels powerful, honest, and authentic with her new all-natural hairstyle.

Stepping out into the world with her natural hair color, Macdowell wants to inspire other women to feel comfortable and proud of who they are.
