Meryl Streep Revisits Iconic Monologue in Customized J. Crew Outfit
Meryl Streep revived Miranda Priestly’s exacting style during press appearances for The Devil Wears Prada sequel. Her wardrobe choices leaned on precise, deliberately selected pieces.
Custom cerulean crewneck
J. Crew recreated its cashmere crewneck sweater in cerulean for Streep’s Late Show appearance on Wednesday night. The garment was made in collaboration with stylist Micaela Erlanger.
The brand said the custom piece reimagines cerulean through a modern lens. The color was chosen as a clear nod to the film’s memorable scene.
Revisiting the film moment
Streep revisits the film’s iconic monologue while wearing a customized J. Crew outfit. The sequence appears early in the first movie.
In that scene, Anne Hathaway’s character laughs during a closet debate. Miranda Priestly then explains why a seemingly ordinary sweater matters.
Why the moment endures
Olympia Gayot, J. Crew’s creative director and executive designer, said Streep helped turn cerulean into a cultural idea. She called the monologue smart and funny.
Gayot added that the scene shows how individual choices connect to wider cultural stories. That insight helps the film remain relevant.
