Helen Mirren

Much better! She’s beautiful in the pink and looks younger they way she’s done her hair.

I think she was having fun, dancing with Andie MacDowell, a bit of fantasy, who wouldn’t?

I think having her hair pulled back off her face coupled with her eye makeup makes her face look hard, which normally isn’t the case. She has a lovely figure and her dress is beautiful.

She looks much better with short hair imo.

I think she looks awful, but AIBU? ?

She has looked better ?

Why is getting older a sin?

It's not.
She normally looks fab but this is just weird.

I looked at it and thought she has a good figure for age 76, and still able to carry off a sparkly silver dress which most people wouldn’t. I didn’t like her eye makeup, but there was a lovely picture of her looking au natural the the next morning, so it was just the styling that evening that was off.

Talented actress and she can wear what she wants, but this really isn't her best look :
The hair too straight and long ,her
eye make up is too much and her shoes are too dark , but it's a truly gorgeous dress worn on a super slim body .
She looks better I normally do trudging round the shops with my trolley !!!

Her hair and make in th OP make her look like someone out of a sci-fi movie, not a good look but I am not keen on the one of her in the pink dress either it makes her look matronly . Poor women can't win can she?

Horrible dress.

All it counts is that she was happy with her outfit

Women must not dress for others or looking younger.

I don't think it is about looking younger - I just don't think it looked good. Nothing to do with age.

And of course if she is happy that is what matters - but that doesn't mean we can't say if we liked it or not.

I can’t imagine that she was happy
Nothing to do with ageing at all
It just looked horrible

Hear hear

Whether it's suitable for her age or not, it's just not her.

As for getting into sci-fi, wasn't one of her first roles in 2001-A space Odyssey?

We should all dress for ourselves, not for others.

If she felt good, I am happy for her.

Had she been dressed in blue, then I would have thought Avatar
Or maybe the Elf from Lord of the Rings.

The type of look make the headlines..

I am a fan of Helen Mirran and have admired her different styles.
I do think she is just having a bit fun and why not?

I think the short pink hairstyle looks much better than the photo in OP and I don't like the OTT eye make up

But of course she can wear what she wants and it doesn't matter what I think.

I can't decide if she has morphed into a witch, an alien, or Kim Woodburn!

I think she looked fabulous at the l’Oreal show.

Has anyone read the article about her in People? Really interesting, talking about her style.

That prima ballerina, hair pulled back off the face, or as it is more commonly known "The Croydon Facelift" can be very unforgiving, HM looks good most of the time, especially with that fringe. Actors often have to briefly adopt a certain look with hair etc. for whatever part they're playing.

Is it to do with a film part?

FannyCornforth

She looks amazing here.
I’m so looking forward to having white hair so that I can dye it pink

Croydon Facelift
Is that what it is.
All I can say is - she just doesn't look like herself!!

She looks lovely in that picture in your post FannyC
I want mine to go grey so I can dye it purple.

I think she normally looks fabulous but not in that picture. When I first saw it it made me think of Galadriel from Lord of the Rings (elf queen, for those not familiar with Lord of the Rings)
