Kathy Bates has single-handedly reignited my obsession with gray hair. On April 14, the actress was spotted in Los Angeles for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, wearing a black sequined cardigan and matching pants. The cherry on top? Her full head of silver hair, beautifully curled to frame her face. And this isn't the first time we've seen the color popping off this year—just look at the gray hair moments at the 2025 Golden Globes. It seems as though there's a shift toward embracing natural grays, and I, for one, am here for it.
Now, back to Bates’ look: The actress' hair was kept at her now-signature lob length, with the ends lightly brushing over her shoulders. The color seemed to have an almost ombré effect beginning with gray at the top, and melting into a salt-and-pepper effect at the bottom. In the mix also appears to be some well-placed highlights, making parts of her hair look an almost platinum color.
