This week at a press conference in Berlin for her new film 'Woman in Gold,' Helen Mirren was a woman in bright green. In a hip-hugging Dolce & Gabbana lace gown, Mirren shined with confidence and sensuality. No wonder L'Oréal Paris hired her for its new campaign -- she has a thriving career and clearly exudes glamour. 

Honestly, a green lace gown on anyone else would probably look dated and basic. But she carries it off effortlessly without it weighing her down. The color implies a fertile sexuality that she oozes all the time anyway and the fishtail silhouette shows off her pin-up worthy hourglass shape.

Another thing not weighing her down? The hunks of diamonds she's sporting on each ear and on an impressive asymmetrical choker.
