Mirren shows off her fancy footwork

DAME Helen Mirren’s self-confessed fondness for ‘ stripper shoes’ was evident this week when she took to the stage at Cannes Lions to talk about anxiety and insecurities.

The 71-year-old star wore red platforms (pictured), which she favours to accentuate her 5 ft 4 in stature.

The Oscar-winner, who advised the audience not to be ‘self-obsessed’ about appearances, completed her look with a £1,650 polka-dot Dolce & Gabbana dress.
