Sarah Jessica Parker previously let her gray hair grow out and faced harsh criticism from admirers.
When she dyed her hair, the reaction was much better, but Parker believed that people should be free to do whatever makes them feel comfortable.
In July 2021, Sarah Jessica Parker, then 56, took a break from filming the “S3x and the City” revival, “And Just Like That..” by dining at New York City’s Anton’s restaurant with Andy Cohen. The actress was wearing a sleeveless blue top and a chain necklace at the time.
During this moment, the star braided her gray hair back. Although she was wearing her natural hair, many people came out to criticize and judge her.
One Daily Mail reader said that it wasn’t a “good look on her” before commenting how only a few people could carry off gray hair without seeming “old.” Another person who noticed Parker’s gray hair on Instagram wrote:
Someone claimed that Parker had not “aged well” and appeared to be 70. A Daily Mail reader was surprised to learn that the actress was just 56 years old because she appeared to be 86, and they wondered if the star was unwell.
A fan of the “Honeymoon In Vegas” actress commented that she didn’t appear like someone “in her seventies” despite being much younger. The reader attempted to continue admiring her, stating she resembles a woman who has aged gracefully without needing to butcher up her face.
Someone else stated that Broderick’s wife was older than 56, despite having turned 56 that year, and that she had always been older than her age, but it was now more evident. The commenter thought she appeared to be in her seventies before betting, “That is about her real age.”
Parker persevered with her natural hair for a while despite the harsh critiques, but appeared to give up at some point. In a recent sighting, the actress was seen with dyed hair and appearing similar to her previous self.
What Did Sarah Look Like on Her Outing with Her Husband, and What Were Fans’ Reactions?
Parker, who is 58 years old, attended the ATG Summer Party at Kensington Palace in London on September 13, 2023. The “S3x and the City” actress looked stunning in a green flowing gown with a thigh-high split and cape-style chiffon sleeves that partially concealed her arms.
The dress also featured a plunging neckline; her hair was permitted to fall lightly over her face, and metallic shoes provided added height. The actress was joined at the occasion by her longtime husband and fellow actor, Matthew Broderick, 61.
The tabloids also noticed her gray hair, despite sitting next to Cohen, whose entire head was grey.
Despite all eyes being on her for her stunning looks, some social media users zoomed in on something else about her appearance. Replying to a Daily Mail article showing Parker’s ATG look, one person wrote:
“She looks much better when she gets rid of grandma’s grey hair.”
Another reader believed the actress looked “freshened up a little,” like the previous one, and wondered whether she had “Maybe got rid of the grey hair along the hairline?” The social media user also mentioned that the dress’s hue looked “fab on her.”
Someone else commented that Parker’s hair had “much improved,” while another bemoaned that she is “so very old.” During an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” in June 2023, Parker discussed Hollywood’s current cosmetic surgery craze as well as the public’s attention on age.
The actress stated that she did not feel “unpresentable” and did not enjoy looking at herself. Broderick’s wife explained that she understood why individuals chose cosmetic surgery since they felt stressed about their appearance. In 2021, when the new season of “And Just Like That…” debuted, there were numerous articles about graceful aging.
The tabloids also noticed her gray hair, despite her sitting next to Cohen, whose entire head was gray, although his was not mentioned. Parker understood why women did what they did because of the judgments, and she had no opinion in either case because she believed they had to do what they wanted.
