These 20 Meryl Streep Memes Will Have You Raising A Glass To The Quarantini Queen
Meryl Streep is a Hollywood icon and an Oscar-winning actor, but her latest role dubs her "queen of the meme." Streep of course is no stranger to gracing the internet with her presence by being the subject of a viral meme (Miranda Priestly, anyone?), but the internet may have turned her latest meme-worthy moment into one of her best yet. To celebrate the new LOL-worthy moment —and enjoy her greatest hits — here are the 20 best Meryl Streep memes that'll make you raise your glass in appreciation.
The latest Streep meme features the actor drinking a cocktail in a bathrobe. It comes from a video of Streep and some famous friends, Audra McDonald and Christine Baranski, gathering together for a boozy sing-along in honor of Stephen Sondheim's 90th birthday, on Sunday, April 26. Many stars celebrated Sondheim's achievements as a legendary musical theater composer during the event, but it was Streep who delivered in the meme content department.
In the video, Streep, McDonald, and Baranski began singing “The Ladies Who Lunch,” from the Sondheim musical Company. In the video, Streep sings while shaking a martini, before she empties it, considers filling the glass with scotch, and ultimately decides to take a swig straight from the bottle. Thankfully, the still shots of that moment perfectly fit into the latest meme of the legend. People on Twitter are absolutely loving a singing, drinking Streep, and it has turned it into a hilarious quarantine meme.
