Helen Mirren Ran Barefoot Down a Runway During Paris Fashion Week — See the Photos
Mirren appeared in the third annual Le Défilé show alongside other L’Oréal ambassadors including Camila Cabello, Eva Longoria, and former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. The Oscar-winner spoke about the experience to Vogue, saying that her biggest fear about being a model was tripping. (Relatable.)
“I just hope I don’t fall over!” Mirren said.
She continued: “If it was just me in a show, it would be, ‘Oh, what an amazing novelty that they have a really old woman walking!’—and I wouldn’t feel so good about that. But here we are, a whole, diverse group of sizes, shapes, genders, and races. We’re making a statement about inclusivity of the family of L’Oréal and I think that’s a great message and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
Thankfully, Mirren will be fully embracing her royal status in her new HBO series, Catherine the Great, set to premiere on October 21.
