These days, no red carpet is complete without at least one chic gray hairstyle to get the flashbulbs popping. Kristin Scott Thomas did the honors at the Fashion Awards 2021, arriving at the Royal Albert Hall on November 29 with her hair in an elegant pale blonde bob, swept into a side part to emphasize the silver streaks at her hairline.
The simple style was the perfect finishing touch for the actor’s understated black satin gown, along with a bejewelled silver clutch bag that complemented her sparkling drop earrings. Scott Thomas made her name playing upper-class brunettes in the late ’90s (who could forget Fiona in Four Weddings and a Funeral?), and more recently made quite the impression on Phoebe Waller-Bridge as businesswoman Belinda in season two of Fleabag. Now, the British star looks every bit as good having swapped her signature chocolate brown for a sleek silver-blonde bob.
Scott Thomas’s red-carpet cameo came at the end of a year in which grey hair has dominated beauty headlines. Andie MacDowell’s cascading curls were the talk of Cannes Film Festival in July, Sarah Jessica Parker showed off her regrowth on the set of the Sex and the City reboot, and Spain’s Queen Letizia has been representing the grey movement in royal circles.
