Meryl Streep falls on ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ set, internet says it’s giving Met Gala meme

Meryl Streep x Met Gala meme: Meryl Streep gave fans an unexpected laugh while filming the sequel to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ in New York City this Friday.

Dressed in a dramatic red gown, the Oscar-winning actress was seen slipping and falling on the stairs of the Natural History Museum, but instead of panic, there was plenty of laughter.

Photos from the set show Streep cracking up mid-fall, while her co-star Stanley Tucci (who plays the lovable Nigel) stood nearby, watching the moment unfold with a smile.

Around them, extras dressed in high-fashion outfits added to the scene’s glamorous chaos.

Interestingly, the fall wasn’t part of the script. Earlier rehearsal pictures showed Streep walking those same steps without any hiccups. So, it seems the tumble was a genuine on-set blooper, not a planned moment for the movie.

But that didn’t stop fans online from quickly connecting it to a famous internet meme.

Every year around Met Gala season in May, an old photo of a man in a white suit falling down red-carpeted stairs goes viral. The internet always jokes that it’s singer Jason Derulo taking a dramatic tumble at the 2015 Met Gala.

Of course, it’s not really him, and he wasn’t even at the event. Still, the image has become a regular part of Met Gala meme culture, with social media users refusing to let it die.

Meryl Streep falling, with its glamorous outfit and dramatic staircase, instantly reminded people of that Met Gala meme. The timing and visuals were just too perfect.

The surprise moment came while filming ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’, a highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 fashion drama. Streep is returning as the icy and iconic magazine editor Miranda Priestly, a character many believe is loosely based on Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

Also making a comeback is Anne Hathaway, who will once again play Andy Sachs, but this time, Andy is older, wiser, and far more stylish than when we last saw her.
