I See You, Meryl Streep: Making Flip-Flops Look Effortlessly Chic

Paparazzi are drawn to certain celebrities like a moth to a flame, while other A-listers make a point to stay out of the spotlight. Meryl Streep definitely falls into the latter category, as it's quite rare to see her photographed outside of a red carpet or Hollywood event. Thankfully, however, we get to have our Meryl fix even during the quarantine.
Photographed in Los Angeles, Streep traded the designer gowns we're used to seeing her in for the perfect laidback end-of-summer outfit. Like a true Angeleno, she wore the easiest shoe trend in existence: flip-flops. She paired them with a flowy embroidered top and straight-leg jeans. Considering that supermodel Cindy Crawford recently wore a strikingly similar outfit, it's safe to say this combo is celeb-approved. Scroll down to shop similar pieces.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News.
