Age ain't nothing but a number for Dame Helen Mirren!

The British actress, 69, is starring in her first commercial for L'Oréal Paris since she was named brand ambassador last fall. The ad, which promotes the beauty giant's Age Perfect line, features Helen speaking directly to the camera (and charming us with her dry English humor).

"Ever feel like you go unnoticed? And when you aren't…well, enough," Helen says as she's given a seat at a bus stop by a younger woman (cue Helen's amazing side-eye). By the end of the ad, Helen shows that youth is more mind frame than number, rocking a seriously sexy leather jacket, bright red lips and a figure-hugging black skirt.

The commercial ends with a twist on the brand's famous tagline: "So are we worth it?" Helen asks, looking over to a hot younger man who's stretching in the distance. "More than ever."

Helen and L'Oréal Paris revealed the new partnership back in October.

"I have always loved the L'Oréal Paris brand, and I am truly delighted to become an ambassador and join such an impressive group of high-achievers," Mirren said at the time. "I am not gorgeous, I never was, but I was always OK-looking and I'm keen to stay that way."

Oh Helen. If anyone could show age spots "who's boss," it's you.
