An actor who is still as in demand now as she was at the start of her career in the ’70s, there is something about Andie MacDowell. How many of us fell in love with her as Carrie – the sophisticated American among bumbling Brits – in Four Weddings and a Funeral? Nowadays, she is just as beloved in the beauty world as she is in the film space; she’s L’Oréal’s longest-serving spokesperson; a purveyor of all manner of brilliant red carpet make-up looks; and has also played a pivotal role in making grey hair a look to embrace, rather than disguise.

“I’ve never felt more powerful,” she previously told Vogue, of embracing her mane of salt-and-pepper curls. “I feel more honest. I feel like I’m not pretending. I feel like I’m embracing right where I am. I feel really comfortable. And in a lot of ways, I think it’s more striking on my face. I just feel like it suits me.”

As the star turns 65, Vogue takes a look at some of her best beauty moments.
