LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jamie Lee Curtis has continued to set trends for years now. The actress has never shied away from keeping her looks natural.
She has, in fact, often challenged pressures of beauty standards set by society, especially for women — from keeping her hair short to proudly sporting gray locks to wearing outfits that defy ageist norms.
