Big day for Meryl Streep fans (also known as literally everyone on Earth). Not only did Only Murders in the Building announce its season five premiere date (September 9, if, like me, you were wondering), but the award-amassing actor has finally been spotted filming scenes from The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City. And yes, the infamously inhospitable editorial boss lady, Miranda Priestly, is sticking to her signature style after nearly 20 years—including that iconic hairstyle.
After years of mental fan fiction and rumors of a sequel, lovers of the 2006 fashion-focused film recently rejoiced at the official announcement of The Devil Wears Prada's next chapter. And with each sneak peek at Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs looks—whether spotted by paparazzi or shared by Hathaway herself on social media—the anticipation is building. But I have to admit, as much as I've been looking forward to the inevitable influx of aspirational style inspo, I've been most excited to see Streep step back into the role of Miranda Priestly, and new photos snapped on the sidewalk do not disappoint.
Streep was spotted in NYC on Wednesday, July 23, decked out as Miranda, looking—and you're not going to believe this—extremely chic. A vibrant purple blouse was tucked into a leather Gabriela Hearst pencil skirt that matched her platform pumps, her peachy trench coat flowing with her confident gait. And there, topping it all off, was the hair.
Miranda Priestly is still sporting an extremely elegant bixie—that sweet spot between a bob and a pixie that can truly be customized to anyone's personal style. In this case, it's sleek yet soft, with a side part and voluminously swooping bangs that hit right at the top of her sunglasses.
Did anyone think this legendary character would come back with a waist-length low ponytail or massive curls? Of course not. But that doesn't dampen the excitement of the big, if not predictable, reveal. And there's something oddly comforting about seeing Streep in the short crop so closely associated with the queen of making people uncomfortable.
