Mirren’s beauty may be the first thing that meets the eye when you look at the actress, but she has some great advice for younger women. She said, “[The beauty advice I would give 20 and 30-somethings is] forget the word beauty, and find another word that applies to you. My word is swagger. It’s not your beauty; it’s your swagger — unless, of course, you’re very beautiful, in which case you’re fine. I would say, as a 20-year-old, find your category. Remember that there is not one single person on this planet like you. You are an absolute individual. Find pride and solace in that.”
