WillGwyneth Paltrowever have a gray era? She isn’t sure.

Now, while chatting with PEOPLE for this week’s cover story, Paltrow has an honest update on the future of her hair color.

When asked if she will ever ditch hair dye and go entirely gray, Paltrow tells PEOPLE, “I don’t know” — but says she is “not opposed to it.”

“I feel like there’s something really amazing about letting nature take its course and really fully embracing it,” she continues, adding, “I don’t know if I’m totally brave enough to do that, but I’m very curious.”

“So it’s like I want to fully embrace aging, but I also want to try to do it in a way that I feel like, ‘Wow, I feel really good inside,'” Gwyneth Paltrow tells PEOPLE.Coliena Rentmeester / Trunk Archive

When it comes to another anti-aging procedure, plastic surgery, she has a similar philosophy.

“And I think for me, the way that I am thinking about it is I would like to be my age and I would like to embrace this next phase and not over-correct in an effort to look 28 or anything like that,” she continues. “I just am not interested in that.”

On the flip side, Paltrow also says that she is “interested in feeling amazing [and] looking the best I can.”

“So it’s almost like they’re a little opposed, right?” the actress says. “So it’s like I want to fully embrace aging, but I also want to try to do it in a way that I feel like, ‘Wow, I feel really good inside.’ And so I don’t know."

“I’m not sure ultimately where I’ll go with it, but I do have a fantasy of just letting it all happen,” she adds.

Elsewhere in her candid conversation with PEOPLE, theIron Manactress shared thatshe thought her life would slow down when she hit her 50s— and she was wrong.

“I had the erroneous idea that I would be able to downshift a little bit. But life is very full-on. It’s been very intense,” she tells PEOPLE.

But she’s looking at the next era of her life with a fresh perspective.

“I believe that life, especially for women, comes in chapters,” she says, adding, “This is really going to be a new chapter for me.”
