Helen Mirren

I seem to remember someone writing about visiting the hairdresser and saying hello to a small wizened old lady only to realise it was JC minus all the make up and wigs.
If she hasn't had surgery I suspect that both her and HM have had a go with fillers!

Most of us wouldn’t be a pretty sight first thing in the morning GSM!

I don't believe JC has never had surgery. I would like to see her without makeup and wigs. Or then again, perhaps I wouldn't!

I don't know BlueSky. She says she's never had surgery and does her own hair and make up. Somehow I believe her. I know she has hair pieces and wigs bit still she looks amazing.

You are right Kate Joan Collins does look amazing! I’ve been trying to find faults and flaws but nothing. How does she do it?

I think Joan Collins looks fabulous. This was last year when she was 88.

Yes, I saw Joan on HIGNFY and she looked wonderful.
Even without a silver dress.
I didn't realise that Delia is 80 - she looks good too, as does Prue.

Too much makeup, hair scrawped back just does nothing for Helen, who normally looks nothing like that.

Sorry, Monday night. I can't give an opinion on Joan until at least Tuesday!

This thread was asking us what we thought of Helen's look and we have replied and given our opinion. We weren't asked here about Joan, and maybe lots of people didn't see Joan or haven't yet watched it like me. I am recording 'Have I Got a Bit More News for You' tonight so can't give an opinion on her yet.

Joan is a total fox, ditto Prue.
Delia looks absolutely gorgeous too ?

How many of us will look as good as that at 89?

That's the power of a photographEsspee. The other thread has no image, which makes it difficult to comment.

I find it very interesting that a thread criticising Helen Mirren’s appearance on Friday attracts so many more comments than a thread admiring the amazing appearance of the 89 year old Joan Bakewell on Have I Got News For You, also on Friday.

Says a lot about gransnetters I am sad to say.

I’m afraid it’s a definite ?from me, not a Helen Mirren fan though.

Lovely dress. Makeup and hair a bit extreme but so what? She looks different every time one sees photos of her. At least she's not trying to emulate the younger stars by exposing large areas of flesh. She does have the figure to carry that dress off.

She is able to dance in those shoes. There are several photos of her and Andie MacDowell dancing along the red carpet at Cannes.

From a 5ft garden gnome.?

Can't wait to see you on the red carpet, Party4
?

Party4 yes but if we didn’t comment on anything there would be no GN! Another garden gnome here!

Usually like HM and think she carries her years well.
Do not like the new look very unflattering and with her hair pulled back emphasises and highlights very pointy witch like features.BUT
everyone should be able to dress for themselves.Who are we to comment on people's style.

I don't like the look, and think the pulled back hair isn't flattering.

I think when you have tons of events to go to, with no budget, a stylist, make up artist and hair dresser, going the safe route all the time would be boring.

So good on her for trying something different, even though most of us don't like it. She looks confident and having fun, so why not?

Yes definitely the pointy ears and pulled back hair make her look like an alien! And yes the black shoes ...? Usually she looks OK, though not as good as Joanna Lumley in my opinion.

I thought it was Donatella Versace..Oops!

I really didn’t recognise her and have seen her in some fabulous outfits but this is a? from me. Not that she would care what I think.

I don't think the pulled back hair is doing her any favours and I don't like the high neck on the dress. Oh and the black shoes are awful - she surely must have a nice pair of silver sandals in her wardrobe.

Hmmm, err, its a NO from me. She looks like she just stepped off the set of Starwars. Sorry Helen but its a bit toooo alien'ish for me ( if there is such a word in the English language!)

She looked weird. Maybe she wanted to?
She must have looked in a mirror and been happy to walk through the door anyway ... ‘yep, good to go girl’.
She’s 76.
Maybe she was fed up of looking amazing for her age (like in the red bikini she wore on the beach a couple of years ago).
