I think the hair color and hair style are terribly aging on her.

How young is one supposed to look at 75?

Ali looks a lot better than some who don't know when to stop with the nipping and tucking.

Now THAT'S the definition of an Equestrian look. Or a Hampton look. It's not carrying a certain bag on your shoulder. Those descriptions are internal that projects out. She has an Old Money Look...like a lot of these ladies here in Dallas, Highland Park. Anything more...and it's trying too hard.

Maybe it's the hairstyle but IMO she looks 85.

I think she has done some ""nipping and tucking"" to her face. She has more wrinkles in the other pictures. (posts 6 & 7)

She's 75 and old enough to be a great grandmother. Why is it so important to look younger instead of just looking good for your age?

I agree! She looks beautiful.

So many of the stars end up looking desperate with the botox and surgery and phony hair color. I color my hair because the ""interim"" look was just awful. I couldn't hang with it long enough to get to full gray.

I think she looks fabulous. One day I plan on letting my gray show. But I'm not quite there yet.

As soon as I retire, I'm letting it go grey---if I don't like it I can always go back. I'm at the point where I am getting it colored every 3 weeks---and even that is now not enough--it is less than a week since I got it done and I can see the grey starting at my part (I have the old Ali McGraw color and look--but just got it cut on Saturday). I'm getting close to need dying every 2 weeks and I just can't see that and won't succumb to it---all that dye and all that money. So I'm about 21 months from retiring--that's about 30 more hair dyes until I start the "go grey" process---and that's $1800 in just my hairdresser's dying charges, does not include the cut and tip. Ouch! So, if I "go grey" and stay grey, I'll save over $1000 a year in retirement---that's money I can put in my travel budget---way more important to me than "grey-less" hair. My mother had pretty grey hair so fingers crossed mine is just as nice as her's was.

Can you tell me about the "going gray process"? I get my hair colored, and add highlights and low lights. Not only is it really expensive, it's a lot of time devoted to hair appointments.

I have hair like my mother, there's a lot of gray in the front, just a sprinkle in the back. I'm not fond of that look, wish mine looked like Ali MacGraw's in a few years.

But how do you let it grow out without looking bizarre?

Noel, someone posted a link here quite some time ago about how to go gray and not look bad. It had to do with cut and things I think. Maybe if you google it you can find it. The suggestions didn't work for me but that could be just a facet of the way my hair is graying or the cut didn't look good or whatever.

I hope you can find the site. It was good.

I think you pretty much have to go with a short hair cut for it to look decent while growing out. I had dark brown hair that was refusing to take color so my stylist gave me a short layered cut. The roots showed for a couple of weeks but because my natural color is salt and pepper, it began looking light highlight. People I hadn't seen in months said I looked so much better in my natural color. It sure is a lot easier and cheaper to maintain.

Why do some women get so mean and nasty about what color other women's hair is? You want to dye your hair - go for it - enjoy it, but please stop telling me how old it makes me look because I don't chose to dye mine. that is your opinion and your opinion only.

OMG, give me a break. You talk brutally on the BB about women who color their hair and list the reasons why it is stupid, egotistical and wrong. Practice what you preach.
