The Daily Mail published candid photos of actress Dame Helen Mirren, 62, at the beach in a bikini, and she looks fabulous – no airbrushing or special lighting necessary. I showed the pictures to my daughter and asked her to guess how old the woman was, and she guessed 48. Helen always looks fantastic on the red carpet, wearing body-conscious dresses that are still age-appropriate and flattering, so it’s no surprise that she can pull of a bikini too.
Most women only a few days away from their 63rd birthday would be steering well clear of the beach. And if they did venture there, it would be in the most modest of concealing attire.
Dame Helen Mirren, however, is happy to flaunt her enviable curves and flat stomach in a bikini.
It seems hard to believe that this is the same actress whose portrayal of the Queen won her an Oscar.
Yet this was no retouched studio shot, with the only work to transform her toned body having been carried out during gruelling hours in the gym.
Dame Helen is holidaying in Puglia, on the southern tip of Italy, with her film director husband Taylor Hackford, 63.
The best part is that Helen’s body is all natural and her face doesn’t show signs of having work done. I know some people are going to be grossed out at the sight of a 62-year-old in a bathing suit, but they can all shut it. I think she looks great and we should be celebrating her and other women like her, who take care of themselves without getting chemicals injected into their faces or other procedures. Go, Helen!
Note by Celebitchy: Helen Mirren looks amazing in those photos, but The Daily Mail made a decision to be nice to her when they normally knock every small flaw in celebrities, particularly women. They could just have easily zoned in on her and said something completely outrageous about one of her body parts. Good for them for printing a truthful article about a celebrity’s body for once.
She is awesome! Love her. She’s my hero. And she looks hotter than most women half her age.
Holy wow she looks incredible! She’s got guts, most women that age would be bathing in an all-in-one, not a midriff flashing bikini! She looks amazing though, no flabby belly or anything. I hope I look like that in my 60’s! She’s even more beautiful because she hasn’t had a facelift or anything.
She looks marvelous, both dressed and in the bikini. I’ve loved her since “White Nights” with Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. Pure class.
Go Helen indeed. She’s an inspiration; most of all for always having been true to herself.
Damn she looks fantastic in those photos. Love her work, she’s a class act.
good lord – i can’t pull that off at 27! kudos to her 🙂
Show them how it’s done, Helen. 🙂 Love her.
I love her. She’s on Mr. Kolby’s list, lol. He wants to make her bikini pic his new screensaver! Ha!
Wow! She looks fantastic! I sure don’t look like that at 26!
I saw the bikini pic, and she looked amazing for her age 🙂
I hope I look that good when I’m in my 60s!
I think we might be witness to a miracle. 😯
Just had a look at the comments over on the Daily Mail article – often as spiteful as the boil-ridden hags who write the editorial – but they are unanimously, overwhelmingly 100% a breathless wow! All 90 of them!
How fab is she.
She looks absolutely amazing!
Never say that class has left Hollywood. As long as this Queen is still around, there is still hope.
My God, she is so hot, (I had no idea!!) I would do her in a heartbeat! No joke, and I don’t care she if she is over 30 years older than me
Man, I only hope that I can look that great in MY sixties, maybe I should actually start now!!
Just a note.. THIS WOMAN HAS NEVER HAD CHILDREN… Dont be too hard on yourselves!!!
Man, I wish I looked that great, and I’m 20 years younger than her! She is just beautiful! Good for her!
I am so going to work out tonight when I get home.
Not ever having kids and having great genes helps. That being said, I fucking LOVE her. She’s the best.
I am completely fascinated by this woman. She’s one celeb I would def love to meet. As for her bikini pics, she looks absolutely fabulous.
She was so good in the whole Prime Suspect series..I mean really, what hasn’t she been great in? AND great in a bikini? Wow, that’s just amazing. Good for her!
Bitch looks great for any age,please “looks great for her age”.Bitch spare me.
Amazing body, but flip flops with that dress?! Gah!
holy jesus christ on a crutch! she looks AMAZING!
kick ass helen, kick ass.
She is one of the finest, most adventuresome, courageous actresses ever. And she looks like that. Wow! And double wow!!
Helen Mirren looks awesome! I should put her pic up on my fridge or somewhere where I can see her and get motivated to take better care of my body so I can look like her at 62!
