Helen Mirren embarrassingly takes a tumble in cleavage-baring dress on Cannes red carpet
HELEN MIRREN looked to be having a great time as she twirled her way along the Cannes red carpet tonight, however her enjoyment turned out to be short-lived.
Helen Mirren was left red-faced in Cannes tonight
The Oscar winner was seen falling up the stairs as she arrived at The Unknown Girl (La Fille Inconnue) screening at the 69th International Film Festival.
Wearing her tresses in a slicked back style, the 70-year-old flashed plenty of cleavage in a navy lace frock, prior to her mishap, which saw a number of minders come running to her aid.
Helen couldn't resist spinning around for the photographers in the glitzy dress, complete with sheer sleeves and a long flared skirt.
The actress also chose a towering pair of black heels, a matching clutch and dramatic eye make-up for the star-studded premiere.

Helen's outing comes just days after she opened up about turning 70 during an interview with Lorraine Kelly.
She revealed: "I feel how I feel and I guess that’s what 70 feels like. I have regrets. A lot of regrets about moments of not paying sufficient attention to people."
The Unknown Girl does not have a UK release date yet.
