Meryl Streep’s Look: Love It or Leave It?
January 20th, 2009 by Evil Beet
Someone’s excited about the inauguration … unfortunately, she’s in the wrong country.
This is what Meryl Streep wore to the screening of Doubt in Paris on Monday.

Love it! What a cute print. It’s kind of vintage-y and it fits her age and body-type well. Good choice going with a basic black pump.
isn’t that the famous Catherine Malandrino FLAG DRESS?? I love it, and I think she is forgiven for wearing it in Paris considering Ms. Malandrino is French herslef
though i don’t know how I feel about the added sash, it kinda bugs me…
I wish her pumps had been black and not navy.
Doubt is a GREAT movie. You guys should all go see it!
I love her as an actress, not so much as a fashion icon.
Love that she wore it in Paris! But hate the dress.
I’d rather go naked than wear flag.
pics?!
uggggggggggh so awful
At any other time I would hate it but this is a great time to be American and good for her she’s showing it off.
True, true!
Good point.
I looked at it at first, and was like “wtf?”
But, you brought up a good point.
I like it.
Hey Meryl, let your freak flag fly!
And I thought Americans had already reached the peak of how annoying they can be abroad. Apparently not.
Even someone as nice as her just looks like a right arse in this.
leave it! Not just because it’s very un-nunlike, because it’s UGLY.
Perhaps you Americans need to learn about your own history by reading about France’s participation in it. Her wearing the dress there was more appropriate than you may think.
Stop insulting them and learn your own history.
You have been schooled by a Canuck.
Firstly, what the hell are you talking about? I don’t see any comments here insulting the French or their contributions to American history.
Stop suffering from such a terrible inferiority complex that you feel obligated to “school” anyone. By the way, the term “Canuck” sounds fairly ridiculous.
Also, you probably smell.
You kidding me? Such a short memory.
Remember the “freedom fries” bullshit? Americans are constantly attack the French because you are too stupid to know your own history.
I’ve got Jeremy’s back.
Who are you Donkey Punch? No one insulted the French. And we were talking about was what an important day it is in American history. Matter of fact, I know my history inside and out. So, if you’d really like to argue about it, I’d be more than happy too.
And “Canuck,” is real bad-ass. And by having your name set as “Donkey Punch,” is kind of pathetic.
Proud to be American. I love Barack Obama.
Did everyone hear his Inauguration speech? It was so inspiring, I seriously felt a tear come to my eye.
If nothing else, I hope this great man can accomplish even half of his goals. The world and our country would be a thousand times better for it.
Perhaps you need to butt the fuck out Funky Dunce. Stop slamming us Americans. Jealous much?
Heidi Klum wore this same dress on Ellen…you should do a comparison.
If it had been any other day, I would say leave it. But I think it’s an adorable gesture. And as first commenter Amy mentioned, it is totally age and figure appropriate.
I would still leave that red tied thing, though. A wide black belt would have looked nicer, and less, you know, like the dislocated sleeves of a hoodie…
Omg. I am embarassed to call her my fave actress. Shame. Flag-wear is so tacky.
I think it’d be better if it was just the skirt and a solid color shirt.
Too much Flag.
And not enough cowbell.
love it.
I love the shoes but that could be because I think I have them in bright electric blue. I need a close up of the shoes!!
Sorry, but absent the dress, her (ahem) pose makes her look like an extra on Tom Cruise’s new movie.
I believe that’s the tail end of a salute, but I had to make that up so don’t hold me to it. Maybe Meryl Streep is actually a super patriotic Nazi.
She looks like that chick that has a beef with Sharon Osbourne right now. What’s her name? Heather?
DESECRATION OF THE FLAG, IDIOT!
Shes wonderful – she can do what she likes as far as I’m concerned – she doesen’t need to impress anyone.
Always have liked her and her look. Awesome cheekbones.
Awesome! She’s American and proud! She’s looks fabulous and is a great person.
Why not?!
ugh…that is one ugly dress.
i like how she is wearing an american flag dress while SALUTING HITLER
oof
very patriotic school marm
love her though
she looks like a wax figure
Very strange pose… I think its cute she chose to be so patriotic even while in France… I’m sure the world is excited about Obama!!! A few friends of mine in England, Canada and one in Dubai (not native of the USA) were contacting me today to tell me how excited they were that Obama was taking over. This was an important day for all!
Wow….MERYL STREEP IS A NAZI
Wow….MERYL STREEP IS A NAZI
Oh wow – idiots are everywhere. some strange comments here.
i would not like this dress but its ok on this special day.
she looks great no matter what she wears.
Love it. If meryl is your fave, doesnt matter what she wears. She wil always look nice.
