Mirren, honored as a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003, has a rich acting history. She gained fame in 1980 with her role in “The Long Good Friday,” alongside Bob Hoskins. Years later, she met Taylor Hackford, the director of “White Nights,” a 1985 film she starred in. The two have been a couple since 1987.

Mirren has aged gracefully in her nearly 60-year acting career, often speaking against ageist beauty standards. She was once named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire but expressed her dislike for the term “sexual,” preferring the idea of being powerful over being beautiful.

At the Ora! Film Festival in Italy, she turned heads in a bright pink maxi dress adorned with silver sequins, matched with silver flats and a pink hairband, showcasing her long silvery-white hair.

Mirren shared on a British TV show how she grew her hair long during Covid, a departure from her usual style. She found it radical and decided to keep it longer for a while.

Mirren’s presence in the entertainment and fashion industries continues to be a beacon of elegance, power, and defiance against conventional age standards. Her recent appearances, whether on the runway or in her film roles, keep proving that beauty and charisma know no age.
