This week, Dame Helen Mirren, 62, showed that she's confident but not obsessed about her body. Other women should take note, says Joan Smith
When Dame Helen Mirren packed a bikini for this year's summer holiday, she probably didn't imagine that several million women would soon be looking at her in wonder - and with a little bit of envy.
The 62 year-old actress has inadvertently provided the picture of the week, prompting intense discussion after she was snapped on a beach in Puglia in southern Italy.
Shading her eyes with her hand, Mirren looks so self-assured that it's hard to believe most women's anguished holiday dilemma - should I take the bikini or stick to a flattering one-piece? - has even crossed her mind.
Some women are only in their forties when they decide to play safe and cover up on the beach. In the photograph published yesterday, Mirren has wisely avoided a thong, but there's no denying that she's gone for an eye-catching bright red ensemble with low-slung bikini briefs that show off her enviably flat stomach.
