Last night was the NYC premiere of The Iron Lady, and I’m already starting to get the feeling that Meryl is not 100% committed to this Oscar campaign. Yes, I think Meryl is going to get nominated (AGAIN) because the reviews are good and Meryl could spend an entire film farting into a pillow and she would get nominated (“A tour de force performance from Streep!”), but Meryl’s outfit doesn’t scream “I want another Oscar!” Her outfit screams, “I’m tired. Don’t make me get dressed up.” But! I’m glad to see her husband Don Gummer came out to support Meryl. Don doesn’t come out for everything – which is fine. Meryl has done all of this so many times, I think Don is pretty much over it. But I think it’s sweet that he still walks the carpet with her sometimes. And Meryl does look gorgeous, doesn’t she?
Meryl’s Devil Wears Prada homegirl Anne Hathaway came out to support Meryl too. I love that Anne and Meryl are still tight. I love that Anne has tended to that professional and personal friendship throughout the years. I also love that Annie didn’t go all out – she’s there to support an actress she loves and respect, not take the spotlight. That being said, I can make out Anne’s engagement ring, sort of – you can see a better pic here.
Olivia Wilde was there too. She wore Dolce & Gabbana. Meh on all fronts.
And finally, Alan Cumming. Wouldn’t you love to see Alan and Meryl do a comedy together? I don’t know what’s up with his pants, but I adore him.

Meryl looks frumpy… There I said it
I like the tops color but that skirt’s length is weird, it’d be better if it were 3/4.
I watched the Iron Lady trailer, and she looks AMAZING! Especially when she said “i have done battle every single day in my life”,it sent chills up my spine.
She’s my oscar front runner along with Tilda Swinton. I don’t understand why media seems to favor Viola Davis. Her performance in The Help is great, but i personally don’t think she deserves Oscar for that.
Very well said. I totally agree. If it’s viola’s performance we’re talking about, why didn’t streep win in a performance better than that back then (when the competition is easier)?
Love Dame Meryl! She’s a goddess. It doesn’t matter what she wears on the red carpet. She owns the right to wear whatever she wants. On the other hand, AH style was ok. OW looks amazing! I think she’s losing the weight she had gained after her divorce.
I can’t help but stare at Meryl’s bra. Alan can pretty much wear anything and make it work. He is amazing.
Love Alan Cumming!
Ooh, yes to getting Meryl and Alan together for some sort of fantastic comedy. That would be brilliant!
J’adore Meryl…ALWAYS!!!
Alan C. could SO GET IT!!!
Alan’s pants appear to be an attempt at 1940’s vintage…but with the WRONG fabric.
Meryl likes acting. I think the red carpet is a job but she’s the anti famewhore. She let’s her work do the talking. Her face looks gorgeous. AH looks good to me. No one tried to upstage Meryl. Well played group.
That outfit Alan Cumming is wearing makes him look like he’s 4 feet tall!
Meryl has NEVER bought into that whole Hollywood asthetic. It’s no surprise that she lets her work speak for itself. It’s as if SHE is not the star, her performance is.
Nice to see her now that is a very good actress she deserves every nomination I like most of her movies
ha Meryl and Anne AREN’T tight. Meryl and Emily Blunt are tight. Meryl and Amy Adams are tight. Anne isn’t tight.
I wish Helen Mirrin would give Meryl a style makeover. But yes, Meryl is glowing even though she looks very frumpy. She just has that effervescence about her.
