Helen Mirren hopes she won't be remembered for being a "beauty" and would rather be associated with something more meaningful with regard to her aesthetics. The Oscar-winning actor has opened up about her beauty legacy and how she has always preferred the word "swagger" in place of beauty.

Mirren said, as per a report on People, “I don't like the word beauty. I've always preferred the word swagger. So my legacy would be: 'She had good swagger."

Previously at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, the actor shared her two cents on how to carry oneself on the red carpet, letting out that the hack is to focus on the footwear. She said, "I've learnt over the years, your shoes have to be bearable. They don't necessarily have to be comfortable. And in fact, comfortable sometimes is a bit boring, and you want cool shoes. But they have to be bearable because if you're in unbearable pain, that is going to reflect on your face and your posture and everything. So you start with the shoes and just make sure that you're secure in them and they're bearable."

Mirren admitted that while she wasn't always prioritising comfort in fashion, she has now reached a stage in her career where she has started valuing it. "I've come to a point where I just want (my red carpet outfit) to be comfortable as well. Beauty knows no pain. I have been there more than once, you know, sucking up the pain for my vanity. But again, it reflects on your face if you're comfortable,” she explained.

This year alone, Mirren had two series premieres, including Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone prequel, 1923, and MobLand, which had Guy Ritchie as one of the directors. On the film front, she was last seen in The Thursday Murder Club alongside Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley. In the pipeline, she has Kate Winslet's directorial debut, Goodbye June, which is a Christmas family drama. She also has Anton Corbijn's Switzerland in which she will play author Patricia Highsmith.
