These are some of the hairstyles that will definitely not be back in fashion.
Streep had progressed to leading roles and was quickly rising to stardom. She was featured on the cover of Newsweek on its January 7, 1980, edition, which read, “A Star For the '80s.” And right they were.
She landed her first leading role in 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' for which she was awarded a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Despite her success, Streep said: “I couldn't help wishing that I was more beautiful,” according to a Time magazine article.
In 'The Bridges of Madison County,' Streep saw an opportunity to shine as a woman over 40, she told Variety. The film was a massive box office success.
Streep looks cheeky as she makes her 'Big Little Lies' co-star Nicole Kidman giggle. She hasn't resigned herself to grandma clothing, and instead prefers bold statements like this blue frilled top.
After starring in 'Out of Africa,' Streep shot right into stardom, becoming one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces. But such fame always comes with comparable expectations.
Streep’s portrayal of the Holocaust survivor in 'Sophie’s Choice' was voted the third greatest movie performance of all time by Premiere magazine. Unsurprisingly, she won the Oscar for Best Actress.
A vision in emerald, and with some pretty cool accessories to boot, Streep is seen here at the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
When most of us imagine ourselves in our seventies, it usually doesn’t involve intense work and public scrutiny, but that’s the world Meryl Streep has reigned over for years.
In fact, she's been appearing in our lives and making us cry, laugh, and gasp for over four decades, ever since her film debut in 1977.
When you ask people who the greatest actress alive is, the most common answer you’ll get is Meryl Streep. She was the reason so many younger actors embarked on their career, she has been the mark of success for many of her co-stars, and she is considered by both critics and the general public to be the best actress of her generation. Not to mention, she currently holds the record for the most Oscar nominations of any actor, with a whopping 21 to her name.
She’s been a true chameleon on-screen, going from heart-wrenching Holocaust survivor to cut-throat magazine editor to delusional New York heiress without skipping a beat. She has honed her craft over many years, and she’s managed to be what producers and directors long for but hardly find: an actor who can draw people to films with her name, yet who can simultaneously make you forget that you’re watching her as the film progresses.
As if her impressive resume wasn't enough, Streep has always looked impeccable doing everything from red carpet appearances to trips abroad. She hasn’t always been confident about her beauty, but she exudes a compelling quality in each of her looks, and she’s challenging the way our society puts pressure on women to look young forever. Instead, she’s making an example of how to age with pure grace, and character too.
