Andie MacDowell, 66, refuses to 'starve myself to lose 5lbs' to look sexy in designer gowns like she did in the '80s

Andie MacDowell has said she does not want to suffer to fit into a dress. The actress told People this week that she is through with dieting to lose those extra 5lbs for a sizzling red carpet look.

The Maid actress and former fashion model, 66, has been a spokeswoman for hair brand L'Oréal since 1986, and she has had many women come up to her to tell her that she made them feel confident enough to let their curls loose. The actress, who has proudly sported her grey hair on red carpets, said it was unfair men get more glamorous terms than females to describe their looks as they age. She said it is a 'psychological thing that we've bought into because we've been fed it for so long', adding females 'don't allow ourselves to feel good about ourselves and we even perceive (mature men) as sexy, because we've been taught this.'
