Meryl Streep channeled her inner Miranda Priestly during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where she talked about the upcoming sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, scheduled for release in the US on May 1.
In Devil Wears Prada 2, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) returns to the Runway as Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) navigates the new media landscape and the magazine space within it.
The two also connect with former assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), now the head of a luxury brand, with funding that could help secure Runway’s future.

According to the media, Streep skipped Prada instead in favor of Givenchy, paired with Gianvito Rossi heels. Still, she looked impressive in her bright, cheetah-print ensemble.
Meryl Streep Rocks The Look With Gianvito Rossi ‘Sofia’ Slingback Pumps
On her feet, Meryl Streep anchored the look with Gianvito Rossi’s “Sofia Sling” pumps, crafted in Italy from smooth black calfskin to a finish that feels polished and quietly commanding. Pointed toes elongate the leg line, while the slingback strap—finished with the brand’s signature gold-tone Ribbon buckle—adds a subtle, jewel-like accent.
What sets this pair apart is the 2.7-inch heel: slightly curved and cone-shaped, it presents a sculpted element that balances classic inspiration with a modern, wearable component.
Far from being one-note, Gianvito Rossi’s slingback pumps continue to appear throughout celebrity style in ways that feel polished and versatile. In Your Next Shoes, Jenna Dewan’s Gianvito Rossi mesh slingback pumps lean on the light, flirty side, while Katie Holmes’ red Gianvito Rossi slingback pumps at the 2024 CFDA Awards show how a slipper reads beautifully on smooth leather with a sharper toe.
You can find her Gianvito Rossi “Sofia Sling” pumps for $995 at Nordstrom.

Meryl Streep Channels Miranda Priestly In A Statement Givenchy Cheetah-Print Coat
Seeing Meryl Streep coming out of this collection just reminded me of Miranda Priestly. She paired slingback pumps with a Givenchy cheetah-print coat, designed by Sarah Burton from the French luxury house’s Fall 2026 collection, giving off that powerful, commanding vibe.
The oversized fit and bold print really stand out, while the silky fabric adds a smooth, comfortable finish. It draped over Meryl’s frame, and that big pussybow at the neck added an extra touch of drama.
Underneath, she kept it simple in a long-sleeved black top and matching side-striped pants, almost by Givenchy. I like that everything underneath is kept small, allowing the coat to stand out.

Polished Finishing Touches: Gold Hoops, Cat-Eye Sunglasses, and Sleek Glam
Meryl Streep completed the look with Fope 1929 gold hoop earrings, adding just the right touch of sparkle. She carried a black DeMellier bag with gold-tone hardware that matched her jewelry, giving the outfit a more sophisticated feel.
The iconic actress added a pair of Lapima cat-eye sunglasses, which brought that signature, sharp, fashion designer edge. Streep kept her glamor simple with soft makeup and wore her hair in a ponytail, keeping the focus on the dress.
