HBC Responds To Being Named 'Best Dressed'

When Helena saw she had been named '2010 International Best-Dressed Woman' in a Vanity Fair poll she said, "It was a triumph! It made me laugh because I thought it was a joke when I found out. But when I saw the article, I thought, 'Oh, the photos they've chosen are as bad as the ones they print when I'm worst dressed'.
 “I think it's a more f--- it attitude. I don't feel any pressure to dress well. When I was younger, I cared more what people say.”

HBC Thinks Bellatrix is 'Sexy'

Read the full article from the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex Blog!
Here's a bit of what Helena had to say about her evil character:

"One moment she’s horribly revolting but then also weirdly sexy, maybe, or just disturbing to the mind when you watch her. There’s a lot of decaying, too, with the bad teeth. She’s been in prison for so long. The mad hair. She’s someone who has seen better times but still carries herself with the memory of what she was. She’s almost like someone who’s had too many surgeries and thinks they’re beautiful but in fact has gone the way wrong. There’s a lot of people like that now. For some reason, I can’t live with the joke that now you can either be old or you can be creepy. That’s the choice. Sad, isn’t it?”
