Meryl Streep
Make-up by Roy Helland

In The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep riveted audiences as Miranda Priestly, editor of the Vogue-like Runway magazine. “Meryl and I decided on the white hair, and we wanted the face to be as cool as possible,” explains make-up artist Roy Helland. In the fashion world, with its focus on youth, smartly cut white hair ensures Miranda will be noticed. She is a non-negotiable part of the fashion scene, and her make-up projects regal confidence. Helland's design communicates not only power and control, but Miranda's sense of poise and beauty.
