Timeless Elegance: Meryl Streep Unchanged After Nearly Two Decades!

Meryl Streep was seen for the first time on the set of her upcoming sequel to her fan favorite 2006 blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada

SCANDALOUS SEQUEL SIGHTINGS: MERYL STREEP STEALS THE SHOW ON SET OF 'THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA'

The wait is finally over, fashionistas! The incomparable Meryl Streep has been spotted on set for the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2006 blockbuster hit "The Devil Wears Prada". And let's just say, she's still got it!

As the iconic Miranda Priestly, Meryl, 76, channeled her inner tyrannical boss of Runway magazine, complete with that signature swirl of snow-white hair and those trademark shades - a nod to her real-life muse, Anna Wintour. The actress looked stunning in a fitted nut-brown leather pencil skirt, plunging lavender blouse, and camel-toned coat, which accentuated her svelte frame.

She captivated audiences as the fearsome fashion editor Miranda Priestly in the first movie, in which she is pictured with Anne Hathaway (left) and Emily Blunt (right)

But the real pièce de résistance was Meryl's uncanny ability to defy time - fans went wild on social media, exclaiming that she hadn't aged a day since the original film! One enthusiastic fan gushed: "She hasn't aged a day!" Another wrote: "Between 2005 and now, she has aged a week... and that's being generous!" A third simply exclaimed: "She looks just as fabulous!!!"

The buzz surrounding Meryl's return to her iconic role is palpable, with fans already speculating about the plot of the upcoming film. According to Variety, Miranda is trying to navigate Runway through the ever-changing media landscape as print magazines face increasing irrelevance in the digital age.

But don't worry, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) will be back too - and it seems like she's got a major transformation ahead! Anne was spotted on set wearing a stylish sleeveless pinstriped trouser suit that would give even the most seasoned fashionista a run for their money. And Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, who played Miranda's ultra-chic senior assistant Emily Charlton and acid-tongued art director Nigel Kipling respectively in the original film, have also confirmed their return.

Now Meryl, 76, has been spotted shooting the upcoming picture in New York City , unmistakably as the tyrannical boss of Runway magazine

The original novel by Lauren Weisberger was a roman à clef that reportedly drew inspiration from Anna Wintour's former assistant. The real Anna kept her cool during the book's release, saying she was "looking forward to reading" it - but sources close to the Vogue capo revealed she was seething with anger behind the scenes.

The movie adaptation of "The Devil Wears Prada" went on to become a massive hit, with Anna even attending the New York City premiere wearing Prada. Years later, when asked if she regarded her former assistant's novel as a "breach of trust", Anna wryly replied: "Well... I think that she brought attention to fashion in a way that, you can look at it in a negative way or a positive way. I choose to look at it in a positive way."

So, what's the tea on the new film? Well, insiders claim that Miranda is set to take on her new husband, played by none other than Kenneth Branagh! And Andy will be getting a new love interest - Australian heartthrob Patrick Brammall.

Fans leapt to social media to share their astonished reactions at how little she has aged since the original movie came out nearly 20 years ago

But don't worry, die-hard fans of the original novel - the reported plot of the sequel is different from that of the second book. So, stay tuned for more updates on this highly-anticipated film!
