Helen Mirren

DanniRae I'm 70 and look in the mirror and think I look stunning too .... and then I put my glasses on .....oh well c'est la vie.

This thread reminds me of why I don't much like women.

Just think how you'd feel if your choice of hair, makeup, dress and shoes was picked apart by total strangers.

It goes with the job Kevin
HM is literally seeking attention; publicising what ever it was that she was publicising.
It’s water off a ducks back, I’m sure.
If it didn’t go with the territory,
she could have just rocked up in jeans and a Breton top.

Do you remember when a costume designer lady accepted a BAFTA (I think) from Stephen Fry?
She was wearing ‘normal’ clothes.
Fry called her a ‘bag lady’ , and there was a right hoo hah.

They are film stars. They out themselves out there. They know they will get their looks criticised as well as praised.

Lovely enviable figure for her age. Terrible make up this time round. We all make mistakes!!!

If you court public attention you have to be prepared for the fact that not all opinions will be favourable. The hair and makeup was bound to attract criticism.

I’m afraid Kevin is absolutely right. As they say women are other women’s worst enemy!

Didn’t like how she looked, much prefer her with short hair

Every single post says how wonderful and beautiful Ms Mirren is and how she usually looks top notch.
No one is actually criticising her ; just her choice of outfit etc, or indeed her choice of stylist.

Generally Fanny not just on this thread and not just about appearance.

It's the advent of social media that's the real problem. Too many people keen to fling dirt. And it's spilled over into real life. For some reason too many people think that being nasty is ok.
The old saying 'if you've nothing nice to say, don't say anything' seems to be long forgotten. Sadly.

Yes, I do know what you mean BlueSky
And self critical too.
It’s extremely negative thinking

Well it’s you who said that you ‘didn’t like women’!
That’s not very nice, is it!

I agree, this thread is very dark

Women I love are the ones who lift each other up

Public figure or not, this is heartbreaking

We all walk around in the public eye and the way some women judge each other on appearance is just heartbreaking honestly

Heartbreaking

Have you read the thread? It’s full of love for Ms Mirren!
My main bone of contention was her choice of footwear

I would never criticise anyone's appearance. Goodness knows what struggles people go through.

Heartbreaking? You can’t be serious.

Do we HAVE to tear women to bits for their clothing choices? It's really so unsisterly!

She's wonderful whatever she does

No one has torn anyone to bits on this thread.

Actresses, including A-listers & Oscar-winners like the lovely HM, pose on the red carpet in their finery. They turn, twirl, look over their shoulder coyly to make sure there's access to shots of their bum for tomorrow's papers.

It's all part of showbiz razzamatazz selling the film/brand.

They're fair game for posters to comment on their fashion choice, particularly when it's a somewhat different look!

It's not heartbreaking, unsisterly or unkind.

I think most said they liked the dress Paperbackwriter, but queried the shoes with it. The comments have been about her hair and makeup and people have said how much better normally looks.

Not a fan either I'm afraid!

Her look here gets 2 thumbs down from me.

Seems to have dressed using every must have application. Long straight hair pulled tight, pale complexion, black eyes, a stance that no one uses ( looks like she is about to urinate standing up), heavy black shoes?. Definitely trying to keep up with the youngsters. HM can do that without making such a mess of herself. If she has a fashion advisor, woukd question her ability.
