Helen Mirren graced the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, leaving audiences stupefied with her oceanic hair transformation that nobody, and we mean nobody, saw coming.
The Woman in Gold actress, 77, unveiled a pacific blue and indigo updo as she arrived at the glamorous festival in the South of France. Mirren was walking the red carpet at the premiere of Jeanne du Barry, which stars Johnny Depp. The film is the Pirates of The Caribbean actor’s first notable Hollywood film produced in years, and his first since his defamation trial against Amber Heard last June.
Helen complemented her perfectly pinned bun by sporting an icy blue gown featuring a long train, long sleeves, dramatic draping across the waist and hip area, and a sleek V-neckline. In her hands, the actress clasped Aspinal of London's 'Luna Clutch' which coordinated effortlessly with her silver suede snakeskin heels by Sole Bliss.

She’s Dame Helen Mirren! Always daring. Love that about her.” Some even called for the star to play Vivienne Westwood in a biopic, and well, we certainly wouldn’t oppose…

Fury of the Gods, not only because it’s the latest superhero movie, but it was also the first film in which the acting legend has joined the Marvel family.

She graced the red carpet wearing a showstopping, ‘Barbiecore’-approved, fuschia pink cloak that brought all the drama alongside Lucy Liu's captivating yellow gown. And the pair absolutely nailed 2022's evergreen dopamine dressing trend.

© GettyAs ever the Dame was bang on trend with both her cool cloak and her accessories. She paired the look with chunky diamante hoop earrings and the chicest appendage of 2023 – black sheer gloves. Her look perfectly encompassed a combination of two of 2022’s biggest trends: Valentino PP pink and Miscreants’ coveted balloon-sleeved-black-glove mini dress.
