Meryl Streep’s Colorful Blazer Jacket for Dinner with Martin Short Is a Fashionable Alternative to Basic Black

Meryl Streep is not only a Golden Globe, Emmy and Oscar-winning actress – she is also a style icon. And she has the clothes to prove it.

On Wednesday, the A-lister was spotted leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California by his side Just the murders in the building teammate, Martin Short. While Streep’s choice of dinner companion was certainly interesting, the most interesting aspect of the outing may have been her outfit: a bright red jacket layered over a hot pink blouse and styled with cropped pants and loafers.
