From her exquisite red carpet costumes to her stylish tailoring in popular films like 'The Devil Wears Prada,' Meryl Streep has always been praised for her extraordinary range, powerful on-screen persona, and memorable fashion moments. She has established herself as one of the best actors of her time, garnering numerous accolades and nominations. When the movie 'Don't Look Up,' in which Lawrence and Streep costarred, was being promoted, the former actress talked of a funny thing that happened with the latter.
A Legacy Defined by Style and Versatility
Throughout her decades-long career, Meryl Streep has starred in comedies, dramas, and other films. Her portrayal of Miranda Priestly in 'The Devil Wears Prada' demonstrated not only her acting talent but also her immaculate sense of style, which included crisp couture suits, sophisticated jackets, and a distinctively chilly demeanor that became part of her defining look. Several Academy Awards and a penchant for selecting parts that test her and the audience are more testaments to her legacy.

Regarding fashion, Streep keeps showing out on red carpets wearing sophisticated shapes that strike a mix between glitz and restraint. These include sophisticated off-the-shoulder dresses, understated jewelry, and bold silhouettes that are indicative of her established star status. Her reputation in the entertainment industry is well-established: she is a respected, multifaceted performer whose presence enhances every event she touches.
The "GOAT" Moment: A Slang Mix-Up
In a recent interview, her younger co-stars Jennifer Lawrence and Jonah Hill revealed a playful behind-the-scenes moment: while promoting 'Don't Look Up,' they had been referring to Streep as "the GOAT"—meaning "Greatest of All Time." However, Streep was unaware of the meaning of the acronym and believed they were referring to her as a "Goat" in the most literal sense.

Jennifer Lawrence recalled: "We casually refer to Meryl as The GOAT." I murmured something along the lines of 'GOAT' during a photo shoot, and Meryl responded, "That's fine, just tell the old goat where to go." Jonah Hill went on to say that he had been referring to her as the "GOAT" for a week and that he only realized his mistake after Streep herself made a remark about being called a goat during that time. Since then, the incident has evolved into a sweet tale about respect, generational slang, and how even the most successful celebrities never stop learning.

Style, Grace and a Laugh Along the Way
What makes this story endearing is how it fits with Meryl Streep's public persona: dignified, yet open to humour. While her fashion choices continue to set a standard for seasoned Hollywood elegance, this anecdote about the GOAT mix-up shows she remains grounded and good-natured.
She exhibits the charm of a celebrity at ease with her legacy, from her stylish appearance in 'The Devil Wears Prada' to her clumsily receiving a trendy praise. Her reputation is not diminished by this minor gaffe; on the contrary, it serves to highlight why she is genuinely "the greatest of all time" in her field.
