There&#8217;s something spellbinding about letting whatever silver strands you may have just exist exactly as they are, even if that&#8217;s among your mostly not-gray hair. And <strong>Salma Hayek<\/strong> just displayed how incredibly elegant it looks when swept up into a regal updo.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Hayek attended the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in a sequined black Gucci gown with a deep, ruffled neckline, paired with David Webb diamond drop earrings. Makeup artist Ash K. Holm gave the actor a classic glam look with rich, rosy lips, matching blush, eyes fully lined in black, and a warm brown shadow on the lids that was topped off with silver shimmer in the inner corners.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of silver shimmer: that hair! Hairstylist Andy Lecompte gave Hayek a sculptural updo with the front softly yet dramatically side-swept, allowing her gray streaks to be center-stage. But it&#8217;s not a statement streak\u2014it&#8217;s more like naturally occurring highlights with a bit more visual interest. It\u2019s a look we\u2019ve watched evolve on her for years, but here, it feels fully realized. The silver wasn\u2019t hidden (not that she ever was really trying to); it was framed in what feels like an almost strategic way.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Salma Hayek wearing a sequined black dress\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20quite%20silver%20updo.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e672ed2f02035c36f32a94\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/salma%2520hayek%2520quite%2520silver%2520updo.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk foWpck hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-iJvQnD cOWUYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-fnduJP iaVSwI asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-kFnjvc eKnjjD responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-jKunQM gjCCFj AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-gaAbQ hXaxHA asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Salma Hayek wearing an updo and diamond drop earrings\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-dkeESL cQPiWi responsive-image__image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/salma%20hayek%20gray%20hair%20updo.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" src=\"https:\/\/media.allure.com\/photos\/69e6736f0d2e71193163f321\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/salma%2520hayek%2520gray%2520hair%2520updo.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"BaseText-fEwdHD CaptionCredit-cUgOGk foWpck hRFzlA caption__credit\">Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there&#8217;s anything the quiet silver trend has taught us, it&#8217;s that going gray doesn&#8217;t have to be all or nothing.
