Andie MacDowell ditched her signature silver curls for a nostalgic hairstyle on May 10.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral alum shared a selfie of her with her with two braided pigtails.
The 68 year old said the whimsical look made her feel “like a kid again.”
Andie MacDowell’s natural gray curls have been her beauty calling card since she made her salt-and-paper transformation back in 2020. The 68-year-old actress has proudly sported her bouncy silver ringlets on the runway, on the red carpet, and on-screen—but she switched things up with an unexpected hairstyle in a selfie posted on May 10.

The Four Weddings and a Funeral alum revealed her hairdresser’s unexpected trick to hide her real hair underneath a wig for her role in the Hallmark series The Way Home. In the show, which released its fourth and final season on April 19, MacDowell sports long curly silver hair as the Landry family matriarch Delilah “Del” Landry. However, the star revealed that her hairstylist’s solution to protect her real tresses inspired her to wear the braided pigtails in real life.

“Season three my hairdresser would braid my hair to hide it underneath my wig. I felt like a kid again with two little braids,” she captioned her photo, which showed her wearing her ringlets in two tight plaits on either side of her head with darker ends.

MacDowell, who paired the nostalgic with a deep berry lipstick, a smoky eyeshadow, and a classic white collared shirt, continued, “There is a part of me that really wants to start occasionally, in casual style…..Maybe when I am hiking or walking on the beach…wear my hair in braids ☺️. Happy Sunday I hope you are watching the show. It’s a fabulous cast, and we are so appreciative of those that love us.”
MacDowell has been tapping into her inner beauty chameleon in recent weeks, recently stepping out for a taping of the Today show on April 15 with a low ponytail. The Groundhog Day alum showed off bigger curls compared to her natural ringlets, framing her face with wavy tendrils and a teased crown. She finished off her look with a baby blue striped collared dress shirt, high-waisted flared caramel slacks that were cropped at her ankle, and strappy nude sandals.
