See Vanessa Williams as Miranda in Devil Wears Prada Musical

8. In advance of accepting the part, Streep made a very Miranda Priestly-like shift. Despite owning now gathered two Oscars and another 11 nominations by that stage, Streep hadn’t rather mastered the art of inquiring for a lot more fork out. But this time, she spoke up. “The present was to my mind a little bit, if not insulting, not most likely reflective of my true worth to the challenge,” she spelled out to Wide variety. “There was my ‘goodbye minute,’ and then they doubled the give. I was 55, and I had just realized, at a incredibly late date, how to deal on my very own behalf.”

9. She had other requires as perfectly. Cautious about turning Miranda into a caricature, Streep insisted on two scenes: What she identified as “the enterprise of trend,” in which the trendsetter schooled Andy on her cerulean sweater, and “a scene in which she is with out her armor, the unpeeled scene in the hotel room.” 

The white hair was her creation as effectively, Streep turning up with her icy locks for a sit-down with the head of the studio. As director Frankel recalled to EW, “Meryl channeled Miranda in that meeting, and there was no dialogue about the hair they appeared into Meryl’s eyes and by no means said a term.”
