What does one wear to a Democratic National Convention? A very patriotic ensemble, apparently. Hollywood actress Meryl Streep dug deep in her wardrobe and pulled out an American flag frock for the occasion, proving her love for her country.
You may recognise the Catherine Malandrino number. Meryl’s worn it before, at a photocall for her movie ‘Doubt’ back in 2009, and it’s also been donned by a fair few other famous faces.
Halle Berry got there first, famously showcasing it on a promotional tour for ‘Swordfish’ back in 2001 and Katy Perry got was patriotic goals for Americans globally while wearing the French fashion designer’s dress on Independence Day in 2013.

But while neither Halle or Katy have been spotted in their stars and stripes frock since, Meryl clearly owns (and loves) hers. The 67-year-old called upon the wrap dress to do it’s patriotic duty and help her speech resonate with the U.S.A.
And what a speech it was. The actress clearly tapped into all of her years of training and delivered a rousing speech in support of Hillary Clinton that delighted Twitter - almost as much as her dress did.

Including a celebratory banshee whoop and an award-winning start (“What does it take to be the first female anything?” she began. “It takes grit, and it takes grace.”) the Oscar-winner was easily one of the most memorable speakers of the Philadelphia convention.>
