At 78, Helen Mirren debuted a wild look in runway appearance – and everyone’s saying the same thing
Mirren pulled off a powerful and interesting look in early June at the Ora! Film Festival in Italy, when she wore a bright pink maxi dress, with silver sequins, that’s cinched at the waist. She paired the look with comfortable open-toed silver flats and used a matching pink hair band to pull her long silvery-white hair from her face.

“You’re not supposed to have longer hair after a certain age,” said Mirren, who spoke about her roles in Shazam! and 1923 on the British breakfast TV show, Lorraine.
She continued: “But during Covid, I started growing my hair and I hadn’t actually had long hair since I was in my 20s. And it sort of grew and grew and grew, and I couldn’t be bothered to cut it, basically. I thought, do you know what, it’s pretty cool, I think I’ll stick with it for a little while. It will come off eventually. But I’m kind of enjoying it, it’s quite radical.”

Now, Mirren has earned the praise of fans after taking to L’Oréal’s spring/summer 2024 runway during this month’s Paris Fashion Week.
For her outfit, she showed off a wild, crimped hairstyle and a silver sequined gown with dramatically long sleeves. Her hair was blown out into a large pouf and she glowed as she strutted down the catwalk.

Fans of the actress took to social media to praise her look, calling her “stunning” and “beautiful”, with many commenting on how she remains stunning at every age. Others complimented Mirren on being a role model for older women, who often feel shunned by the fashion industry due to their age.
