People who know Helen Mirren recognize her as a versatile talent who has excelled as an actress, author and model over the course of her long career. Recently, the 78-year-old actress has become increasingly involved in modeling, and her presence at this year’s Paris Fashion Week is further evidence of her versatility. Fans flooded social media with praise for Helen Mirren’s stunning looks, from her enchanting makeup to her adventurous hairstyle! Mirren, who was honored as a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, has had a distinguished acting career, breaking out in 1980 with her role alongside Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday. A few years later, Mirren crossed paths with Taylor Hackford, director of White Nights, a 1985 film in which she shared the screen with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines and Isabella Rossellini.
The two have been partners since 1997. Helen Mirren provides insight into aging. With nearly six decades of acting experience, Mirren has consistently challenged age-appropriate beauty norms. When Esquire called her the “Sexiest Woman Alive,” she wasn’t particularly impressed. “I don’t like the word ‘sexual’. There are people who exude sexuality and others who don’t. But there has to be a better term. “Sexual” is too restrictive,” she noted. “Being powerful is far more fascinating than being beautiful.” In early June, Mirren presented a powerful and captivating look at the Ora! Film festival in Italy. She wore a bright pink maxi dress with silver sequins and an elegant cinching waist. She completed the ensemble with comfortable open-toe silver ballet flats and tied her long silver-white hair back with a matching pink headband that framed her face beautifully. “Once you get to a certain age, you shouldn’t have long hair,” Mirren noted during her appearance on the British breakfast television show “Lorraine,” where she discussed her roles in “Shazam!” and 1923.
Thinking further, she shared: “But during Covid I decided to grow my hair out, something I hadn’t done since my twenties. It just kept growing and I couldn’t find any motivation to cut it. I thought, you know what, it’s pretty cool, so I’ll keep it for a while. At some point I’ll cut it off. But at the moment I’m having a lot of fun with it. It’s a pretty radical change.” Helen Mirren on the Paris runway Recently, Mirren thrilled her fans as she graced the runway for L’Oréal’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection during Paris Fashion Week. Sporting a bold, curled hairdo and a stunning silver sequin dress with striking long sleeves, she oozed confidence as she strutted down the catwalk.
Her hair was styled in a voluminous puff and exuded elegance. Devoted followers of the actress flocked to social media to shower her with compliments, describing her as “stunning” and “gorgeous.” Many emphasized that she continues to radiate beauty and grace regardless of her age. Others praised Mirren as a role model for older women, who often feel overlooked by the fashion industry due to their age.
