silver fox

Handsome graying man

A silver fox is a melanistic form of the red fox with black fur tipped in white, giving a silvery appearance.

The term also describes an attractive older man, typically one with gray or white hair who has aged well: George Clooney is the quintessential silver fox.

The slang usage is almost always complimentary.
