78-Year-Old Helen Mirren Stuns At The Golden Globes In Figure-Hugging Dress

Helen Mirren graced the Golden Globes red carpet recently, wearing a stunning Dolce and Gabbana ensemble featuring multiple shades of purple. She also styled her shiny silver hair into a slick back bun, which complimented her bold jewelry.

She strutted confidently in her dress, proving she has evolved from meeting societal expectations of women her age when it comes to style and beauty. “I grew up in a world where there were all kinds of rules as far as women were concerned,” she said, crediting Madonna for “breaking” the limitations and inspiring her. “She was a woman after my own heart.”

Others remembered to compliment the stylist — D & G, for a job well done. “10/10, styling perfection,” a fan quipped. “Wow,” a lady exclaimed. “D&G is working overtime. They’ve styled so many looks tonight. Was no other fashion house working?” Several other comments on Fashion Bomb Daily’s post of the iconic actress were simply approving emojis.

Helen Mirren’s thoughts on aging

Helen, who is L’Oréal Paris Global ambassador, admitted to hating the idea of anti-aging. “Pisses me off so much! Whether you’re 25 or 45, you look great for who you are— not for how old you are,” she told ELLE UK in a recent interview. She further explained that age comes with more knowledge and should be embraced rather than resisted. “I feel the age that I am,” she added. “With all the curiosity I have about life, the knowledge I have, the fear I have about life.”

Last year, she noted that she prefers the term growing up to aging. “Other people call it growing older, but I call it growing up,” the actress said. She also expressed her unique outlook on beauty, which involves focusing on one’s strengths beyond outward appearances. “Most of us are not beautiful. We have other stuff, which is just as powerful as beauty,” she advised. “And I would like to see us celebrate those things.”
