Iconic TV Star, 61, Ditches Signature Blond Style For Whimsical Gray Hair Moment
If you thought Carrie Bradshaw's wild blonde curls were stunning, you should see her now. Just days after "Wicker" star Olivia Colman wowed us when she traded her signature dark pixie cut for long gray curls, another superstar has jumped on the trend. "Sex and the City" leading lady Sarah Jessica Parker hit the red carpet with her hubby on October 1, and it's official: she's joined the ranks of celebrities who look stunning with gray hair.

Parker looked as radiant as ever at the New York City Ballet Gala alongside husband Matthew Broderick. The 64-year-old "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" star has been rocking his natural gray hair for quite some time. Yet, 61-year-old Parker surprised fans when she arrived at the event with an elaborate updo that also featured gray hair. She paired the new 'do with a long-sleeve, printed, baby pink dress. Folks on X, formerly known as Twitter, had mixed reactions to a tweet showing the stars at the event. It's clear Parker's gray hair era already has some fans. "I love her hair, and with that dress she looks like a Disney princess," one commenter pointed out.
Once a trendsetter, always a trendsetter
If there is one Disney Princess Sarah Jessica Parker bore a striking resemblance to in this look, we'd surely all agree it is Rapunzel. Parker's gray hair was pulled back into a long braid that reached well below her waist. The extensions in the braid were a mix of brunette and blonde, looking much closer to the hair color everyone is used to seeing her sporting. While rocking gray hair can be empowering, it can be a struggle to transition from dyed hair to au naturel. Leave it to a trendsetter like Parker to turn this notoriously difficult change into a fashion statement.
Parker has undergone a stunning transformation since she first arrived on the scene decades ago. Yet, it's difficult to picture her ditching some elements of her signature look — from her famous high heels to her long blonde locks. So, it seems that Parker will be gradually entering her next hair chapter, rather than totally shocking fans. And it's working for her. "I like [that] she's embracing the silver slowly," one X user wrote. "Hair is gorgeous!" added another. We have to agree; this innovative style moment has us eager to see what the next phase of this hair transformation will look like.
