Being booed of stage at the festival

She completed her look with black pants and a black shirt. At the press conference, the star spoke about the first time she attended the festival and how she was booed of stage.

The Golden Globes dress glitch

Last month at the Golden Globe Awards, Mirren appeared to struggle with her red dress. According to “ET Canada,” the star’s side sipper seemed to have gotten stuck.

Meryl Streep assists Mirren

Without any hesitation, fellow actress Meryl Streep swooped in to assist by helping Mirren with the glitch. The pair didn’t win any awards on the night but their moment will last forever on the internet.
