Gwyneth Patrowhas been embracing her gray roots this summer and doesn’t seem to mind who notices.
In a candid Q&A session on herInstagram StoryWednesday, theAvengers: Endgameactress, 50, fielded questions from fans, including one who asked, “Are [you] growing in to your natural grey hair? Which is beautiful btw."
“I don’t know,” she responded while smiling, before admitting, “I’ve just been lazy over the summer.”
The Academy Award winner, who appeared to be engaging in the Instagram Q&A session from the comfort of her home, lowered her head to the camera, hovering her device over the top of her head so that viewers could get a closer look at her darker roots flecked with gray.
“Should I?” Paltrow asked with an opinion poll displayed on the screen, encouraging viewers to vote on whether she should “go grey” or “stay blonde.”

“Do you guys think I should go gray or keep my highlights?” she asked again.
This is not the first time that Paltrow has shown off her gray roots. TheGoopfounder displayed a hint of silver while on the red carpet at theGolden Globesin 2020, which she attended with her husband,American Horror StoryproducerBrad Falchuck.
In July, Paltrow, who is mother to daughterApple Martin, 19, and sonMoses Martin, 17, with ex-husbandChris Martin, toldBritish Vogueshe feels women should embrace getting older, but admitted there was a “double standard” for men and women when it comes to aging.
“As women, we want to be healthy. We want to be ageing,” she declared, perBritish Vogue. “This idea that we’re supposed to be frozen in time is so weird.”
Noting that gray hair should be something that women embrace rather than try to cover up, Paltrow continued, “I love it when I hear somebody likeAndie MacDowell, with her beautiful gray curls, talking about embracing ageing and the difference between how we handle aGeorge Clooney[compared to how most women are perceived]. It’s handsome to go gray [as a man], but for women it’s like, ‘What do you plan to do about your wrinkles and your ageing skin?’ There’s definitely a double standard.”
