Andie MacDowell Feels 'No Shame,' Just 'Pride' for Her Gray Hair & Aging Look at 64

For Andie MacDowell, "feeling beautiful [is] different with age." Sharing her stunning Elle Spain cover shoot on Instagram on March 17, 2023, the 64-year-old wrote that she feels pride and has no shame in aging.

Andie MacDowell is styled in a metallic trench coat for the cover, her naturally silver curls softly swept to the back of the neck, leaving an odd tendril. She continued: "There is no space for shame, no desire to be young or younger looking. (what a silly idea that is.)."

The longtime L'Oréal spokesperson stopped coloring her hair during the Covid-19 lockdown, something she had "wanted to do for a long time." She said last week that she is comfortable with where she is in her life right now: "I just want to embrace the time where I am…."

Dating Is out of the Question for Andie MacDowell as She Focuses on Her Job & Family

The "Sex, Lies, and a Videotape" actress laughed at the idea of "having to go on dates," explaining that it takes a lot of energy and she is swamped: "[I] feel like the most important aspect of my life right now is deep meaningful friendships. And my job."

Later in the interview, Andie MacDowell reiterated that she is not searching for a romantic relationship, which she attributes to the "shift that happens with age" of being fulfilled by different kinds of friendships.

She enjoys the consistency, which she notes is rare in the entertainment industry, of working on Hallmark's "The Way Home." The actress spoke about getting together with her sisters and her son, Justin Qualley, coming for a visit with his baby, the star's first grandbaby.

It is "painful" for the first-time grandmother that she can't see her grandchild as often as she would like as they live in Montana. Joining MacDowell backstage, her daughter and "Maid" co-star, Rainey Qualley, said it is "amazing to be surrounded by people appreciating everything" her mom has achieved.
