Meryl Streep: the sleek queue at the press tour of The Devil Wears Prada 2

THEthe press tour of The Devil Wears Prada 2 it immediately starts in fourth gear. The metamorphosis of Meryl Streep dictates the season’s beauty agenda and sparks conversations. If in the film she sports a sculptural pixie, in reality the actress changes tone. It abandons the soft swirls of the past and embraces a sharp and very modern aesthetic.

The fulcrum is the straightened ponytail which, tightened with millimetric precision, communicates absolute control. It’s a refinement that intimidates.

A mature but chic blonde

The chosen shade is a masterpiece of colorimetry, a sophisticated greige blonde with silver veins. The shade calibrated specifically to her complexion, in perfect contrast with that of her brunette co-star, blends the warmth of sand with the coldness of silver. Giving life to one hybrid nuance which reflects the light with a metallic effect and, at the same time, enhances the structure of the sleek tail.

Long, straight hair (worn at the age of 77) thus becomes a graphic element. They streamline the profile and frame the face with rigorous cleanliness. In this hairstyle that eschews romantic volumes, everything focuses on one decisive and deliberately severe linearity. Miranda chooses aesthetic discipline and transforms every appearance into a lesson in power.

Beauty that wins cannot be changed

The debut takes place at Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City. The actress of The hunter And The bridges of Madison County arrives in a designer sparkling red suit Dolce&Gabbanacomplete with huge cat-eye glasses look straight out of the office of Miranda Priestly.

For the evening event, the change is drastic. The star chooses a long blue shirtdress by Schiaparelli with golden buttons and a sculptural belt that marks the silhouette. The accessories, a face-shaped bag and tooth earrings, are pure provocation.

Meryl, however, always keeps the same ponytails and the same makeup. Demonstrating that the intrinsic meaning of beauty lies first and foremost in coherence. But also sending a clear message: the tour is only just beginning and promises sparks.
