Helen Mirren, 76, looks chic in a monochrome pantsuit as she walks the runway in L’Oréal Paris

Dame Helen Mirren looked sensational as she donned a monochrome pantsuit to take part in the L’Oréal Paris runway show at the city’s Fashion Week on Sunday.

The Queen actress, 76, looked chic in her outfit as she wobbled in a pair of chunky wedge heels on the catwalk.

Her hair was tied in a bun on top of her head to show off her heavy black eye makeup.

The star wore a pair of large hoops and struck a pose as she reached the end of the catwalk, looking every inch at the professional model.

Dame Helen was spotted in the French capital the day before as she made her way to a fitting for the fashion event.

She could be seen wearing an elegant black dress with a print of red roses as she walked towards the building.

The movie star wore a beige raincoat over her dress as she warmed herself up against the cool fall air.

Dame Helen visited Colorado earlier this month to promote her new movie The Duke at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado.

The film, slated for release in February next year, follows the story of a taxi driver, Kempton Bunton, who steals Goya’s painting from the Duke of Wellington.

Dame Helen transforms into a vulgar cleaner Dorothy Bunton in a recent trailer for the newly released film, where she stars alongside Jim Broadbent (who plays Kempton).

Speaking of being a part of The Duke, she said earlier this year: “The whole story took me by surprise. You’d want to take it with a pinch of salt if all wasn’t true.

“I loved the charm of the script; it was sweet and very endearing. I like the 60s, it was a more naive, more innocent time.

“Dorothy is the practice, that the wife is so often in the family; she supports the family. Kempton is the dreamer, but he is very committed and courageous in many ways.

“We shouldn’t just take a leaf from Kempton’s book, but also from Dorothy’s book – dreaming is fine, but you still have to pay the bills!” So let’s hear it for practical people in life too.

“It’s very important when you play an old married couple that the audience believe in that relationship. With Jim, I slipped into his wife’s role very easily, there was no effort on my part.
