Olivia Colman made a striking appearance at the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland on Tuesday, showcasing a departure from her usual pixie-cut hairstyle. The 52-year-old actress opted for long, natural curls, embracing her greys, marking the longest her hair has been in nearly a decade. Colman’s look challenges prevailing norms around aging, particularly the expectation that mature women should keep their hair short.

At the premiere of her new film, *Wicker*, Colman wore an oversized white Celine dress accented with a bow detail, paired with pleated trousers. Her choice reflects a growing trend among established actresses such as Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Andie MacDowell, and Sarah Jessica Parker, who have recently embraced longer hairstyles.

*Wicker*, described by critics as “vulgar, horny, yet unexpectedly heartwarming,” is a fantasy film featuring Colman as the Fisherwoman, a character who struggles to find a partner due to an overpowering scent. In her desperation, she enlists the help of a basket weaver, played by Peter Dinklage, known for his role in *Game of Thrones*. The basket weaver crafts a husband, portrayed by Alexander Skarsgard, who comes to life and captivates the village’s women, stirring intense jealousy.

The film is set for release on October 30. Colman’s choice to present herself with longer hair at the festival adds to ongoing cultural conversations about age, beauty, and self-expression within the entertainment industry.
