Gird your loins, Meryl Streep has once again proved that true style does not have to come with a sky-high price tag. The Oscar-winning actress, aged 76, stepped out in an affordable Australian label while promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York.
Channeling Miranda Priestly Energy
Very much channeling her main character Miranda Priestly energy, the well-known actress was spotted on the press tour wearing a pair of crisp white tailored pants from Sydney-based brand DISSH. Dubbed the 'Romy Cream Barrel Leg Tailored Pant', the $159.99 style features a high-rise waist and structured barrel-leg silhouette, complete with subtle tuck detailing at the front, belt loops, and a clean, concealed hook-and-zip closure. Crafted from a stretchy blend, the polished design strikes that elusive balance between tailored and effortless, something Streep's iconic on-screen alter ego would no doubt approve of.
High-Low Dressing Masterclass
In true Miranda fashion, Meryl did not stop at just one statement piece. Her stylist, Micaela Erlanger, elevated the pared-back pants with a striking long red leather trench coat, matching red stilettos, and a pinstriped silk blouse, finishing the look with a brown leather bag. This was a masterclass in high-low dressing, where accessible fashion meets unmistakable star power.
The sighting sent fans into a frenzy online, with DISSH cheekily captioning their recent Instagram post: 'The Devil wears DISSH!' It comes as barrel-leg trousers continue to dominate the fashion conversation, with the relaxed, retro-inspired silhouette gaining traction among A-listers including Halle Berry and Chrissy Teigen in recent weeks. One fan wrote, 'This is so cool.' Another joked, 'OMG I've shopped DISSH for years and now Miranda Priestly approves! What?'
Australian Fashion on Global Stage
But Streep is not the only global name flying the flag for Australian fashion right now. This week alone, both Jennifer Lawrence and Meghan Markle have also been spotted in signature DISSH pieces, marking a major moment for the homegrown label, which has quietly built a cult international following thanks to its modern, elevated essentials designed with longevity in mind. Known for its clean lines, premium fabrication, and understated wearability, DISSH has become a go-to for women seeking refined wardrobe staples. These latest celebrity endorsements only reinforce its growing influence on the global stage.
Bared Footwear Streak
Meanwhile, Streep continued her Aussie fashion streak on another press day, stepping out in Bared Footwear's 'Mino' studded boots, priced at $389. She appeared later that day on SiriusXM's Front Row with co-star Anne Hathaway and TV host Andy Cohen, with her shiny, unmissable boots sitting pretty at the bottom of her outfit. The bold black leather design features polished hardware across a sculptural heeled silhouette, but it is what is hidden inside that sets the brand apart. Founded by podiatrist Anna Baird, Bared Footwear is known for its signature biomechanical footbed, 'designed to deliver support and stability without compromising on style', according to its website.
Fans raved about the boots online. One wrote, 'I love these boots...have been eyeing them off since they dropped.' Another added, 'Hit after hit with your boots, go guys!' A third fan of the brand stated, 'I can confirm, these are the comfiest boots I've ever owned.'
Influencer Endorsement
Bared Footwear's inclusion in Streep's polished The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour wardrobe comes just a week after influencer Alix Earle was seen stepping out in the brand at Coachella. She wore the Hillstar Black Leather Knee High Boots ($489) on the festival's opening day, pairing them with a vintage Roberto Cavalli animal-print corset and cut-off black denim mini shorts. Paired with an all-black ensemble, the boots added an edgier twist to Streep's press tour wardrobe, proving her off-screen style is just as commanding as the character she is revisiting.
From tailored trousers under $200 to statement boots engineered for comfort, Streep's latest looks serve as a reminder that great style is not about the label, it is most definitely about how you wear it.
