At the time, Salma teamed her pink do with a figure-hugging black dress with petals that matched her scene-stealing hair. 

But her look wasn’t there to stay, as it turned out it was a wig. She was back to brown the very next day!

Salma - who only dyes her hair for work - has showcased some of her natural white hair during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She shared a photo and captioned it: "Proud of my white hair."

The actress previously opened up about her natural hair colour in an interview with the New York Times, admitting she prefers to keep it natural when she can.

The 54-year-old said: "It’s my natural colour, and it’s my natural white hairs. One of the reasons I don't dye my hair is because I don’t have the patience to sit through it.

Salma is also natural when it comes to her beauty regime. "I don't have any Botox. Maybe later I will change my mind but for now, I am comfortable in my own skin."
