At The Devil Wears Prada 2 press conference in Seoul, April 2026, Meryl Streep leaned into an orange belted suit with chunky gold chains, and the tailoring details are worth a closer look.
This is the kind of look that’s clearly been built from the waist out. Meryl Streep showed up at the press conference for The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Seoul, South Korea, on April 8, 2026, and she committed to a saturated orange suit that’s hard to ignore.
The jacket has broad, notched lapels and a double-breasted front with dark buttons, but the real move is the tan-brown belt cinched right over the blazer. And it’s not a dainty belt either; it’s a solid, medium-width strap with a classic buckle that pulls the whole torso into shape. The sleeves are pushed up a bit, and you can see the cuff area bunching naturally—very “I’m actually using my arms today,” which feels right for a talk setting.
Down below, the matching orange trousers run wide through the leg with a long, clean line to the floor. The fabric looks matte suiting rather than shiny, which keeps the color from turning loud in a cheap way. But I’ll say it: the proportions only really sing because the pants are relaxed; a slim leg here would’ve made the belted blazer feel top-heavy fast.
Accessories are doing their own little subplot. She’s in black glasses, layered chunky gold chain necklaces, and a watch on her wrist. And on her feet, there’s metallic platform sandals with an open toe (heel height’s hard to judge from this angle, but the platform’s obvious).
So, question: are we calling this dopamine dressing, or just good old-fashioned power suiting in a louder shade? I might be wrong, but I think the belt-over-blazer trick is what keeps it from looking like a simple matching set.
If you’ve been scrolling celebrity style lately, you’ve probably noticed more suits getting styled like outfits again—belts, jewelry, real intention, not just “throw on a blazer.”
That belt placement is the whole point.
Would you wear the belt over the blazer like this, or keep the jacket clean and let the suit speak on its own?
