Dame Helen Mirren has praised what she terms “shameless women” who are redefining beauty, citing Pussy Riot and Kim Kardashian as role models who have rejected labels such as slut and embraced bigger body shapes. I love shameless women. “It’s good for young women to see how the world used to be for women who wanted to become police,” she said. “I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt. “When I was growing up, it was thought to be unbelievably sluttish to even have a bra strap showing,” Mirren said.
