As the world awaits their return, what is currently breaking the Internet is how Meryl Streep took a page out of Anne Hathaway’s Andrea Sachs aka Andy’s lookbook from the OG film as she began The Devil Wears Prada 2‘s press tour.
What Meryl Streep Wore
The veteran actress was recently on The Late Show With Stephen Colberttalking all things The Devil Wears Prada 2. But what caught our attention was her outfit for the occasion.
Meryl Streep opted to wear the iconic cerulean blue sweater from The Devil Wears Pradaworn by Anne Hathaway’s character Andy. Fans of the film would recall that Meryl Streep’s character – Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine – had thoroughly judged Andy for her fashion choices in that same attire, which became an iconic moment from the film. Two decades later, Meryl donned the same look, breaking the Internet
Internet Reactions
Fans couldn’t keep calm as they flooded the comments section, addressing the full-circle moment.
One person wrote, “Yes I came to the comments for the CERULEAN!”
Another Internet user mentioned, “I love that we all see the cerulean sweater!”
One fan exclaimed, “OMG a cerulean sweater. How perfect.”
Someone else recalled the entire scene around the ‘cerulean blue’ sweater as he wrote, “This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue.”
The comment continued, “It’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact… you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of ‘stuff’.”
Some other comments read, “And the Queen wears not just blue, not turquoise… not lapis… it’s actually CERULEAN” and “She’s wearing Andy’s sweater!”
