Helen Mirren is a multi-talented person who has worked in the spotlight for many years, having acted, written, and modelled.
The 78-year-old actress’s modeling jobs have only grown in recent years, and her presence at Paris Fashion Week this year was no exception.
Even her crazy hair and makeup looked amazing, as fans gushed about her on social media!
Actress Mirren made her breakthrough in 1980 costarring in The Long Good Friday with Bob Hoskins. She was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003.
A few years later, Mirren ran across filmmaker Taylor Hackford, who had directed White Nights, a 1985 picture in which she starred with Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, and Isabella Rossellini. Since 1997, the couple has been together.

She was not overly pleased when Esquire dubbed her the “Sexiest Woman Alive.”
“I object to the term sexual. There are those who are more sexually inclined and those who are not. However, there must be another word. “Sexual” is rather restrictive, she claimed. “Having power is far more fascinating than having beauty.”
At the Ora! Film Festival in Italy in early June, Mirren looked striking and captivating in a bright pink maxi dress with silver sequins that was fitted at the waist. She accessorized the ensemble with cozy open-toed silver flats and covered her long, silvery-white hair with a matching pink hair band.

She went on, “But I started growing my hair during Covid, and I hadn’t really had long hair since I was in my 20s.” And it just kept getting bigger and bigger until I gave up trying to cut it. I decided to give it a try for a short while since, well, I think it’s really cool. It will ultimately come off. However, I’m kind of liking it—it’s quite unconventional.
