Christie Brinkley, 69, embraces her grey roots… before immediately going back to blonde for event

Evergreen 1980s supermodel Christie Brinkley shared a rare slideshow of herself embracing substantial gray roots in her signature blonde locks while enjoying a cloudy day at the beach near her Hamptons home.

It was a bold move for the 69-year-old mother of three, who normally only shares flawless snaps of her suspiciously wrinkle-free complexion and impressively taut 5-foot-9 frame.

‘Grey sky! Gray hair! The moment you see gray hair, the question arises, just like when you cut your bangs… to keep or not to keep?’ Christie, who has 1.7 million followers on social media, meditated on Sunday.

Thank goodness both are just personal preference or a fun change of pace. My son [Jack Paris Brinkley Cook] thinks it looks nice, but I think I’d like to wait until it looks more like the silver white caps than the gray wave itself. The verdict is still out! Happy Sunday!’

On the exact same day that Brinkley (born Hudson) posted about gray hair, she was photographed at 2:30 pm all blonde while attending a sold-out Long Island LitFest event at the Cinema Arts Center in Huntington, Long Island.

The Bellissima Prosecco owner, who has long trusted hairstylist Mitch Barry, discussed aging with his colleague, former SI Swimsuit star Paulina Porizkova, who was promoting her book, No Filter: The Good, The Bad. and the beautiful

Unlike Christie, the 57-year-old Czech has fully accepted her gray hair and wrinkles with grace, writing: “Getting old is the privilege of living a long life. You can fight it or accept it. But there is a third option. Hug him.’

‘Embracing it means both acceptance and battle. Accept that there are inevitable changes inside and out. And both are valuable,’ explained Paulina on February 6.

‘As your inner power grows, your wrinkles reflect the time you have spent becoming more powerful. It is better to spend the struggle not on the denial of age, but on putting it to work. Fight to keep your body healthy. Strive to stay curious and flexible. Fight the shame that accumulates over you to tell you that you don’t matter anymore. Fight to be seen and valued for the person you have become. Here’s to embracing age, both for better and for worse, because that’s living!

The Way Home actress Andie MacDowell decided to grow out her gray hair during the COVID-19 quarantine when her daughters told her she looked ‘bad**’.

‘I like to compare myself to George Clooney because why not? I’ve been saying for a while that it was time for me, personally, to make that transition because I felt it was appropriate for my personality and who I am,” the 64-year-old Golden Globe winner told Vogue in 2021.

“During lockdown, I had a lot of downtime and became obsessed with Jack Martin, who did Jane Fonda’s hair. I shared those photos with a lot of people who were like, “Hey, I want to do this.” I got a job and very quickly had to decide what I was going to do.

“My managers had actually told me, ‘This is not the time.’ And I said, “I think you’re wrong, and I’m going to be more powerful if I embrace where I am right now. It’s time because in two years I’m going to be 65. If I don’t do it now, I won’t have a chance to be salt and pepper.” I always wanted to be salt and pepper!

Truth: It was a bold move for the 69-year-old mother of three, who normally only shares flawless snaps of her suspiciously wrinkle-free complexion and impressively taut 5-foot-9 frame.
