Helen Mirren Falls Gracefully on the Red Carpet, Avoids Any Type of Wardrobe Malfunction—See the Pic!

At age 69, actress is graceful and refined in nearly every scenario

Dame Helen Mirren isn't like the rest of us.

When she trips and falls walking up the steps at a red carpet premiere, it doesn't result in a wardrobe malfunction, face-plant or even a panicked, unflattering facial expression. No, when this lady loses her balance—as she did Monday at the Berlin premiere of her new movie, Woman in Gold—she gradually and gracefully descends to the ground, uses her arms to steady herself, then gets right back up and smiles for the cameras in a dignified, dame-like manner.

If you're a bit less refined than the Academy Award winner when you take a tumble, don't feel too bad. At age 69, Helen is a bit of an enigma! She has a body most 21-year-olds would kill for, and just last fall, she was named as a brand ambassador for L'Oréal Paris.

In her first commercial, which debuted earlier this week, the ageless British beauty promotes the line's Age Perfect Line. She's quite modest about her stunning beauty, though! When Helen and L'Oréal Paris first revealed their partnership back in October, she said in a statement: "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. I am not gorgeous, I never was, but I was always OK-looking and I'm keen to stay that way."

Be beg to disagree with Dame Mirren on this one—she's a heck of a lot hotter than "OK-looking!"
