For Helena Bonham Carter ‘fashion is all about having fun’
By ANIFriday, January 28, 2011
WASHINGTON - ‘The King’s Speech’ star Helena Bonham Carter has admitted that she has made a few fashion mistakes on the red carpet but insisted fashion is all about having fun and mismatching.
“Sometimes I get it right and I sometimes I get it wrong,” People Magazine quoted the actress as saying.
“But fashion is all about having fun. I think fashion has been hijacked by the fashion industry creating rules on what one should wear and I feel like breaking the mold and seeing that the world won’t crumble,” the Oscar nominee said.
Carter raised a few eyebrows by attending the Golden Globe Awards this year wearing one red and one green shoe.
“Why not wear mismatching shoes? Who says we can’t? I was just having fun,” she said.
“For me, fashion is all about fantasy and putting unlikely things together. That’s what I love. I genuinely love dressing up,” the actress added.
Carter praises Lady Gaga for her daring fashion choices.
“I love the way she dresses. She’s like a work of art,” she said.
“Anybody who is inventive, different or has fun like her, I love and admire. I’m amazed that she’s able to stand up in some of those shoes she wears.
“I feel honored to be compared to her but I would probably be called Lady Haha. She’s fantastic,” Carter replied about what it’s like to be compared to the “Bad Romance” singer. (ANI)
