Sarah Jessica Parker Debuts Gray-Blended Updo at New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala

other · 2026-10-02

Sarah Jessica Parker attended the New York City Ballet's Fall Fashion Gala, where she wore a floral, sheer gown by Simone Rocha. As a founding member of the event, Parker styled her hair in a romantic updo with extensions that reached almost to her knees, and her hairstylist wove a pink ribbon through it to match the gown's ribbons. Her longtime colorist, Gina Gilbert at Benjamin Salon, has worked with her for years to transition her blonde hair using a technique called "gray blending," which merges bright highlights with natural gray hair for a seamless look. Parker's appearance comes during ballet season, and she is not alone in showcasing gray hair: at the Zurich Film Festival, actor Olivia Colman also displayed her silver curls, making a case for quitting dye. The article, published by Vogue, includes an invitation for readers to send beauty or wellness trend questions to the senior beauty & wellness editor at beauty@vogue.com.
