Just 14 Gray-Haired Celebs Looking Like Gorgeous Silver Sirens

Whether natural gray hair growing out of your head or a trendy dyed hue, gray hair is always a good idea. We’re loving that celebs are embracing their gray hair while stuck at home and not able to get a root touch-up. But it’s not just now during social-distancing. Some celebrities rock their gray hair all the time and look seriously fab doing it. Because there’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and a smattering or grays or an entire head is really beautiful.

Of course, there’s unnatural gray hair, too. Celebrities love the platinum, ashy hue that’s equal parts pretty and edgy. Sure, it’s a lot of maintenance but the finished product is a bold, memorable look. It doesn’t have to be fully gray from the roots. Dark roots and balayage gray can look pretty incredible on all skin tones, as well as gray pixie cuts and even gray highlights. (Real or faux!)

From Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren’s sophisticated gray strands to Ciara and Winnie Harlow playing around with wigs, there’s a ton of gray hair to draw inspo from if you’re looking to switch up your own look. Or, if you have some grays, let them grow in and rock the look with pride. Check out some of our favorites from the last few years below and bookmark this page for next time you hit the salon.

Kyle Richards’ Gold Watch

Kyle Richards’ Gold Watch

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Episode 10 Fashion

Move over Crystal Kung Minkoff’s $95,000 Hermes bag, Kyle Richards’ gold watch is about 1/50th of your size and over half the price. High priced accessories are where it’s at in Beverly Hills, and I love a classic chunky, cuban link watch so totally approve of Kyle’s choice. Which reminds me, it’s time for me to start saving for one of my own.

Another day, another tracksuit for Lisa Rinna. Whether it’s covered in logos, animal print, or bronze sequins Rinna hasn’t met a one she doesn’t like. And thanks to Lisa we’ve met this one while it it’s still in stock for the taking. So even if it’s technically bronze, I feel like we’ve all just gotten the gold.

Who Do I Leave My Belongings to If I Have No Children?

leave belongings

“Who do I leave my belongings to?” is one of the most common questions amongst those who are childless, who are estranged from their children for some reason, or whose children live on the other side of the world.

Bethany, aged 70, has never had children, never wanted them, and is living alone, having done so happily for many years.

Lately, though, she has been concerned with this. She has already appointed her lawyer as the executor of her will, but looking around her house recently, she was fairly overwhelmed with the thought of what would happen to all her precious things.

Stuff like a favourite painting, probably not worth much monetarily, but of deep personal importance to her. Or her childhood teddy bear, lovingly kept all these years, and for whom she still has a deep fondness. Or the beautiful plate on the wall, which her aunt had left to her before she died, and which is one of the few connections she has left with her family of origin.

So, What Do You Do If You Find Yourself in This Situation?

After you’ve died, there is a lot of work for an executor to do, and if you have appointed a professional, then if you haven’t left any instructions about what should happen to your belongings, it is quite likely that a house clearance firm will be appointed, and the physical evidence of your life will all go into a skip or dumpster, and then landfill.

Is That Really What You Want?

If not, then you need to have thought through what you want to have happen well before you reach the end of your life. So, here are a few tips:

Start Decluttering

Also known as ‘death cleaning’ when done towards the twilight of your life, decluttering may mean giving things away to friends or organisations. You could also sell some belongings and spend the money on experiences instead of stuff. Then, for every new item you buy, release at least three old ones.

Appoint a Liaison Person

Identify one or more younger people who might be willing to liaise with your executor to distribute what’s left after you’ve gone. Discuss with your lawyer and make it official.

Then make it easy for this person by doing #1!

This also applies if you have legal representatives who are out of town, and you need a local liaison person.

Sort Through Your Collections

When it comes to photos, creative projects and the like, decide to keep just 1-3 of anything to reduce the overall amount. For instance, do you really need 20 photos of that wonderful holiday? Perhaps 3 will do.

With your craft projects, can you find a local group that would be delighted to have your collection donated to them? Wondering what to do with your collection of china teapots? Start now to have it valued, include it in your will, identify an organisation that would really appreciate it. Or sell them now and leave the money to one of your favourite charities.

Actively Start Making Friends with Younger People

This may sound a bit deliberate, but the fact is, you don’t want to be the last one standing amongst your friends. So, building a sense of community where people look out for each other (and this needs to be locally based, not online) is important.

What’s more, it can be fun. Perhaps you can become a substitute granny to a family who don’t have one nearby – it can be very rewarding. And as a bonus, you may discover someone who would love to receive some of your belongings after you’ve gone.

It’s all in the planning, and planning when you don’t have children is arguably even more important than when you do. So if you’ve noticed you’re thinking ‘who do I leave my belongings to?’ more often, then that’s the answer – get planning!

Do you have family to leave your stuff to, or are you on your own? What could you do today to start planning where your belongings will go after you’ve moved on? What kind of things do you need to take care of?

Glossier Finally Launched The Dewy Bronzer Fans Have Been Begging For

Back in the early days of Glossier, those of us will fair enough skin used the Haloscope highlighter in Topaz as a bronzer. Now, five years later, the brand has rolled out Glossier Solar Paint, a real, actual bronzer for all skin tones. Glossier saw the emails and the tweets and read the Reddit Threads and created its most-requested item to date. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

There are four shades of Solar Paint: Flare (for fair-light skin tones), Ray (for light-medium skin tones), Heat (for tan-deep skin tones) and Volt (for deep-rich skin tones). It’s a lightweight, gel-cream formula featuring ultrafine, light-reflecting pearls that complement each skin tone. Don’t worry—it’s not glittery. Instead, it’s that lit-from-within summer glow that’s so coveted.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

In the early 2000s, bronzer was heavy and chalky for that snatched contour face. Now, we’re wearing makeup totally differently. Blush is back and bronzer is being worn more as a dewy glow on the high points of the face where the sun would hit naturally. (If you weren’t wearing SPF!) I love that Solar Paint has a doe foot applicator to dot around your face and easily blend with your fingers or a sponge.

Of course, there are skincare benefits, too. Solar Paint is infused with what the brand calls “Desert Milk,” a micro-emulsion of plant oils and extracts like jojoba and aloe to condition and nourish skin. There’s also Ayursense, a botanical shown to enhance glow. All makeup should make your skin even better while you’re wearing it.

Solar Paint is available now on the Glossier website.
