Gray-Haired Celebrities - Silver Foxes Through the Years

Once upon a time, finding a gray hair meant spending the rest of the day armed with a pair of tweezers, in between rushing to the salon and contemplating hari-kari.

Now, embracing those silver strands -- whether premature or not -- is a sign of confidence, dignity, and, as the runways have shown us, even trendiness.

With that in mind, we're saluting the celebs who have resisted the urge to hit up the Clairol and have flaunted their gray hair with pride. Talk about silver linings!

Browse our gallery of silver foxes over the years.

Gray-Haired Celebrities
Check out some of our favorite famous silver foxes.

Gray Haired Celebrities

CNN hunk Anderson Cooper may be prematurely gray, but we wouldn't have him any other way.

A mysterious white powder gave Angelina Jolie's long black locks a salt and pepper effect on the set -- which is fitting since she was filming "Salt."

With her red lips, glam curls, and fancy fur stole, acting legend Barbara Stanwyck epitomized the silver fox look.

And then there's Maude! As TV's outspoken heroine, Bea Arthur wasn't afraid to tackle hot-button issues of the day, all while flaunting a n ombre-style charcoal-on-dove gray bouffant.

A Rose by any name may smell as sweet, but would "Golden Girl" Betty White have been as endearing without her blondish-gray dendelion 'do? We think not. And neither, apparently, does she -- the 88-year-old actress is still rocking the look.

PETA Public Enemy No. 1 must have been in the salon when she wasn't out chasing dalmatians -- that half-black, half-white shag surely required some serious maintenance!

Gray Haired Celebrities

Giving Cruela DeVil an '80s update, Liz Taylor experimented with a few face-framing streaks of gray to break up her towering black bouffant.

Country crooner Emmylou Harris' long layers give her prematurely gray locks a vibrant, youthful edge.

With his ashy stubble and temples, George Clooney became the poster boy for the "Life too's short/I'm too sexy to bust out the Just for Men" look. We likey.

Gray Haired Celebrities

While other older actresses are trying to pass themselves off as teenagers (cough, Demi, cough), Jamie Lee Curtis isn't afraid to accept the graying of her boyish crop.

Models had ombré lids with silver shadow all the way up to the brows, and the creamy lip color was created with Lancôme Rouge In Love lipstick in Sweet Embrace, a dusting of blush, and a dash of Juicy Tubes gloss in Pure.

Silver celebs yes, but real women? Oh, YES! Diana Lewis Jewell has done just this. Not only did she write the book, "Going Gray, Looking Great!", she created a website that is all the rage! (http://www.goinggraylookinggreat.com)

As a woman who had an Oprah makeover and was made a blond, I could not have made the transition without Diana's book and website. It's not just me. Women from all around the globe send in pics and you watch them transform from the dye to eye-catching silver!

Now that's what I call a real silver gallery!
