*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*
This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.
To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.

Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.
Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Somebody who looks on the brink of death due to exhaustion, (therefore looking like a lady who is ancient as hell) this can usually be fixed by an alarm clock and a sensible bed time.
Rosie hasn’t been sleeping due to family issues, the principle pulled her in and called her a haggard old lady. How DARE she look after her family. An alarm clock is overdue for certain.

Lady doesn’t believe in 2nd chances because once you messed up your 1st it doesn’t change the ending . Lady loves to fight and argue because she knows she’ll always win. Lady is always determined to win!
