Chrissy Teigen’s Tweet about gray hair has launched the internet into a giant celebration embracing the so-called secondary metallic hue, and I could not be happier. Not only is Teigen one of my favorite people to follow on social media (even though she stole my future daughter’s name for her own excruciatingly adorable Luna baby — I’ll get over it), but she’s also shut down the idea that aging and visible signs of it are a negative thing.
In a world where impossible beauty standards seem to be based around the idea that the fountain of youth is a real and accessible thing, this message could not be more important.
