Dame Helen Mirren praises Madonna/Kim K/JLo
Quote:
Dame Helen Mirren praises Kim Kardashian for redefining beauty
Oscar-winning actor, 70, praises crop of female celebrities who are ‘shameless and proud’ and break taboos
Dame Helen Mirren has praised what she terms “shameless women” who are redefining beauty, citing ***** Riot and Kim Kardashian as role models who have rejected labels such as **** and embraced bigger body shapes.
...
“When I was growing up, it was thought to be unbelievably ****tish to even have a bra strap showing,” Mirren said. “Everything was about women conforming. I love shameless women. Shameless and proud!”
Mirren, 70, said she was happy to be finally “relieved of the whole sex-symbol tag” but was inspired by women who had not been “controlled by being shamed”.
“I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt. I love ***** Riot more than anything in the world.
“They all raise their middle fingers to this epithet of ‘****’. They wear what they want to wear, behave as they want to behave.’”
Mirren said the reality TV star’s famous backside had been positive for young women and body confidence.
“I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting, but – and this is the big word: B-U-T-T – it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays,” she told the Sunday Telegraph Magazine.
“Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo. We’re also allowed to have thighs now, which is great too. It’s very positive.”
