Sopranos Star Lorraine Bracco Rocks Gray Hair at Emmys Days After Sharing She Doesn't Miss the Salon

Lorraine Bracco loves her gray locks!

On Monday, the actress, 69, joined her former costar Michael Imperioli at the 2023 Emmy Awards for a mini-Sopranos reunion. Bracco looked stunning in an off-the-shoulder Reem Acra dress, which she paired with a sparkly silver clutch and dainty earrings.

However, the real showstopper was the stars gorgeous silver hair. The four-time Emmy nominee wore her mane pulled back with several loose tendrils framing her face to create an elegant look that was perfect for the star-studded evening.

During a recent party celebrating 25 years of The Sopranos, Bracco shared with Page Six that she first made the decision to go gray during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I love not having to spend hours in the salon,” she told the outlet.

The Emmys proved to be an emotional night for Bracco as she paid tribute to her late costar James Gandolfini, who died at age 51 in 2013, before she and Imperioli presented the best supporting actress in a drama series award to Jennifer Coolidge.

"And speaking for Michael, myself and the entire cast and crew, it was an honor working with Sopranos creator David Chase and, of course, the great James Gandolfini," a teary Bracco said.

Earlier in the week, Bracco shared with PEOPLE at the cast's 25th anniversary celebration in New York City on Wednesday that Gandolfini was always a prankster on set.

“Oh my God. He would make such jokes, he would fool around, he would dance around,” she said. “He was very fun.”
