Get Helen Mirren's Style

    10
  • At 66, Helen MIrren is one of the most beautiful, sexiest actresses around. If you've ever wanted to steal her style (and who hasn't?), here's how to do it:

    Have A Killer Smile

    It’s the truth: If you love yourself, and love how you look, your confidence will come through in your smile. And nothing’s sexier than self-confidence.
  • Wear Statement Jewelry A knockout necklace or pair of earrings makes for a red-carpet appearance. But don't wear more than one piece of bling, or you risk looking like a walking jewelry display
  • Reach For The Scarf A scarf is an easy, perfect finishing touch. There are so many now in different weights, colors and materials that you can wear them year round. No need to wrap them too tightly, either - you don't want that swaddled look.
  • Be Adventurous Getting a new cut, or wearing your hair in a new way, can invigorate your appearance. It might not always work; though Mirren looks great here, her customary bob-with-bangs is better. But, like her, you can always return to your previous look . There's no harm in experimenting!
  • Dress Appropriately Mirren knows that a daytime appearance doesn't call for a lot of glitter and flash. Instead, she opts for a low-key dress with a stylish neckline and sleeves.
  • Change With The Seasons Why wear black or gray all year round? Mirren's floral dress and lightweight cardi are perfect for spring.
  • Buy One Fabulous Evening Dress As every style icon knows, better one knockout dress than five so-so ones. This stunner makes Mirren's neck look even more swanlike, and the decolletage is flirty without being too revealing.
  • Suck In Your Stomach This photo, taken earlier this year, was stunning proof of just how good a shape Helen Mirren is. She recently acknowldged sucking in her stomach for the picture. OK, but we still think she works out. Still, there's no harm in strategically breathing in when you have to.
  • Get Some Good Shoes Shoes are multitaskers. They can lift a dress into the wow category, distract your date from a less-than-perfect manicure, and make you look ten pounds thinner. Mirren's only physical flaw may be her somewhat stocky calves, but seriously sexily heels draw the eye away from that.
  • Be Gutsy Unlike some Hollywood stars, Mirren isn't afraid to take on roles that make her look less physically attractive than she really is. In other words, her work comes first. None of us will ever have to dress like the dowdy Queen Elizabeth II, as Mirren did here. But the actress is a perfect example of going for exactly what she wants, without worrying about what other people think. That's pretty stylish.
