Meryl Streep Wore Gucci Promoting ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

Meryl Streep stepped out in New York on Monday ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, and there was nothing subtle about this moment.

Dressed in Gucci’s La Famiglia shearling coat, cinched with a chain belt featuring the house’s unmistakable double G detail and finished with square-frame sunglasses, this look made an immediate statement.

While the film’s DNA is rooted in Anna Wintour’s world, this doesn’t feel particularly “Anna.” The tiger-patterned shearling and overtly branded belt sit far outside her famously uniform aesthetic. But that’s precisely why it works. This isn’t Anna Wintour, it’s Miranda Priestly.

Miranda has always been about authority through presence. Where Anna edits, Miranda commands. This coat, with its bold texture and strong visual impact, does exactly that.

It’s often said that one statement piece is enough, but Meryl ignores that entirely. The coat is the headline, then there’s the red clutch, a recurring colour story throughout her press tour. Red has become her through-line, tying each look back to the character.

If this coat is giving you déjà vu, that’s because Kim Kardashian wore the white, grey, and silver version, which leaned into a far more muted, icy palette. Where Kim’s iteration felt pared back, Meryl’s is far more assertive.

We all know this isn’t Meryl’s natural lane, but I love how she has turned a street-style moment into something undeniably cinematic.

With the actress wearing red at the New York premiere, what direction will she take for The Devil Wears Prada 2 London premiere this evening?

Does she continue the story, or pivot entirely? Either way, I am, patiently waiting.

Stylist: Micaela Erlanger.
