Fashion, from Caroline de Hannover to Olga of Greece, white hair cleared

White, very white, short, curled, cut into a bob, without a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Caroline de Hannover, the Duchess Olga of Greece, wife of Aimone Savoia-Aosta, Charlene of Monaco or the great choreographer and noblewoman of Belgian origin Anne Teresa de Keesmaeker launched their very personal challenge to the universe of couture, indeed of hair style , launching a highly imitated trend. Once white hair was considered a sign of old age, today it has been aristocratically cleared through customs. The ‘total white’ hair is liked, it becomes almost a point of strength and distinction. Highly recognizable. In unsuspecting times, Marella Agnelli, born Caracciolo di Castagneto, wife of the lawyer, wore her short, milky hair with rare elegance. After all, Lina Sotis herself, had confessed in a recent interview, “old age? I have been young for so long that having white hair on my head makes me happy”. The very charming actresses and Hollywood stars Sharon Stone (in the front row this summer at the D&G fashion show) and Helen Mirren, Petra van Breman, a lady of measured elegance, never shouted, who loves defining herself as ‘gray hair influencer’, Maye Musk mother of Elon Musk, proud of her silver hair, Emma Thompson at the cinema with the scandalous Pleasure is all mine, Jane Fonda and Jamie Lee Curtis, with her inseparable pixie cut, the actress and historical testimonial of l’Oréal Paris, Andy Macdowell. Her decision was a painful and forced one. Blame the lockdown, the covid that forced many to stay at home in the impossibility of being able to access primary services, for most women. White hair is also a sign of evolution, of equality between the sexes (even the same), of subtle and exhibited play, as in the case of the couple (in life and work) composed of Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison, photographer and actress, paparazzata at the Cannes Film Festival 2021 with its salt and pepper mop. A choice also shared by Letizia of Spain, wife of the King of Spain Felipe VI. An absolutely royal charm to indulge the passing of time by revealing gray hair, also tested by the unloved Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, wife of the second son of King Charles III. Total gray also for the future Queen of England Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall (weak imitation of the late Queen Elizabeth), for Adriana Borriello who choreographed her marble hair, this summer in Castiglioncello, in a tribute to Micha van Hoecke, excerpt from the ballet ‘Chi è devoto’, freely inspired by the Black Madonna of Montevergine. And in defense of a conscious lifestyle choice, praise of naturalness and freedom without display and excesses, ‘gray and proud’ was born on facebook, a group that today has over 30 thousand proud and proud members. “White, today it is not synonymous with old age, but with elegance – Edoardo de ‘Giorgio, communication and fashion expert explained to Adnkronos – but on the contrary it is sophisticated, denotes personality and authority, gives light and warmth to the face, even if it must be a lot, very accurate. It gives strength to all those who choose to measure themselves with this apparently difficult tone – he added – It becomes almost a habit, to be exhibited, as the actress and playwright Drusilla Foer often does “.
