I’m not very stylish, says Helen Mirren

Dame Helen Mirren, who was named the 'Most Stylish Woman' in 2008, has claimed that she doesn't think of herself as stylish.

"It's great, at my age you know, 'Wow, that's cool!'" the Daily Express quoted the veteran actress, as saying at the premiere of her latest film Brighton Rock.

"I wash up nice but mostly I'm not very stylish," she added.

Mirren, who last year shrugged off pictures of herself looking enviably toned in a red bikini as 'pure luck', said the swooning caused by her frocks, figure and fetching new short hairstyle is a bit daft.
