Christy Turlington may be one of the world’s most famous supermodels, but she isn’t afraid to show off her graying hair.
Turlington, 57, rose to stardom in the ’90s as one of the fashion world’s legendary supermodels alongside Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford. In a fun vacation snap, the statuesque beauty showed off her gray hair. At a time when women feel the pressure to cover every inch of their grays, it’s refreshing to see Turlington, who has made a name for herself in recent years as an activist and documentarian working to advocate for the health of mothers during pregnancy and childbirth, take hold of her natural beauty and show it off. What a beauty!
“A wonderful visit with @cturlington ❤️ Always so great to reminisce about our trips!” Arthur Elgort captioned the photo series, which showed several shots of Turlington with a giant smile on her face.

Turlington Can Still Rock the Runway
Back in February, Turlington headed to the Metropolitan Opera in New York City to close out the Michael Kors Fall/Winter 2026 Runway Show in a stunning black ensemble. But one of the most noticeable components of her look was the gray roots in her hair peeking through.
Here’s a look at Turlington closing out the runway at Kors:

Christy Founded a Maternal Health Nonprofit
After going back to school at 26 to get her undergrad degree at NYU, Turlington returned to school at 39 to get a master’s in public health. She’s the founder of Every Mother Counts, a maternal health care nonprofit organization. While she has two children, she previously told Glamour that the organization is “very much like my third child.”
In regard to her best professional advice, Turlington advised that people “cultivate meaningful relationships.”
“I really do try to listen very attentively to any kind of personal story that someone is sharing with me. Not in any kind of game way, but in a true way. Because the more I can absorb in whatever amount of time that I spend with anyone, the more closely we can connect and the more that I will be able to take forward into another relationship at some point,” she said. “There are so many relationships I’ve had since I was a teenager in my first profession that, while I don’t see people very frequently, they come in really handy in other areas of life. The more you put in at the very beginning, I think, the possibilities are that much greater. You just never know where anyone is going to move on to or be.”
