Posing alongside Cara Delevingne, Elle Fanning and Kerry Washington at the 19th annual L'Oréal Paris Women of Worth Celebration on November 21 in Hollywood, Andie MacDowell, 66, stunned in a creamcoloured, loosely draped wrap dress from Lebanese luxury label Harithand. Looking great is one thing, she reckoned, but feeling good was an even higher priority.
"I did a fitting, and the dress was really tight around my waist. It looks so good, but I woke up, and I just knew it was not the right thing for me to do," she told People magazine. "I wanted to wear something that was comfortable. And, of course, immediately, I shamed myself for not being able to fit into this dress. But that's Hollywood." She would know. After being discovered by an agent while on a trip to Los Angeles, MacDowell was 20 when she moved from her small town in South Carolina to New York in the late 1970s to pursue modelling.
She posed for Vogue and starred in ad campaigns for the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Armani and Calvin Klein before setting her sights on an acting career.
