Meryl Streep has commented on former First Lady Melania Trump's controversial fashion moment from 2018. In a recent conversation with Anna Wintour for Vogue, the acclaimed actress shared her thoughts on the incident and women's fashion in general.
Streep specifically referenced the green jacket with the phrase "I Really Don't Care, Do U?" that Melania wore while visiting a migrant child detention center. "I think the most... powerful message that our current first lady sent was in that coat," Streep stated, adding that all dress is about expression but is subject to larger historical and political expectations.
The actress also discussed the broader pressures on women's fashion, noting how women in power are often expected to appear less threatening. "There's an apology built into women. They have to show their smallness," she remarked.
The conversation emerged as fans anticipate Streep's return in the sequel to The Devil Wears Prada.
