It could be the hair, it could be the shock of colour on the gown or it could be the overwhelming sense of esteem and knighthood that emanates from the look, but everyone's getting a whack of Helen Mirren off Patrick Stewart's look at an even last night. And he should consider doing it more often because everyone was living for it.

Stewart shared the below image with a tweet last night saying "Something is happening in Hollywood tonight" before he went about promoting the second season of 'Blunt Talk' and revealed his dramatic new look. We don't really understand why he did it (apart from the publicity obviously) but we're supporting it all the way.

Of course, the internet loved it.

 

Now all we need is Ian McKellan to do the same and for someone to film their adventures and we'll be the happiest clams in the ocean.
