What might Meryl Streep wear to the Oscars? Cross Chanel off the list.
It seems that Streep was quite taken with an embroidered gray silk gown from Karl Lagerfeld’s most recent couture collection for the house. The dress was ordered, with Streep requesting an adjustment to the design — a higher neckline. Done. Such personalization is what couture is all about, along with exquisite execution, and, in the case of Chanel, Lagerfeld’s design brilliance. What more could the world’s greatest living actress want for Hollywood’s biggest night?
Turns out, she wants a paycheck. With work on the dress well underway in Chanel’s atelier, word came from Streep’s camp to cease and desist. “I made a sketch, and we started to make the dress,” Lagerfeld told WWD. Days later, a phone call came in from a member of Streep’s camp. “’Don’t continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us,’” Lagerfeld quoted the messenger.
As for the dress that won’t make it into the Dolby Theatre on Sunday night, as far as Lagerfeld and Chanel are concerned, it still has Streep’s name on it. “She could keep the dress because of the size,” Lagerfeld said. “It’s couture. It’s perfect for her.”
Very disappointing, Lagerfeld lamented, “A genius actress, but cheapness also, no?”
Streep’s reps did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
How disappointing naman kay Meryl Streep. Masyado nya dinadown si Donald Trump Pero may ugali din pala sya na deplorable.
ReplyDeleteLol! Korek ka dyan, karamihan sa mga artistang yan tlaga impokrito. Kala mo kung mkapagsalita sa public ang babait pero behind the camera nangingibabaw pa rin ang pagka feeling superior nila.
DeleteYikes! Benefit of the doubt for lola meryl. I wanna hear her story first before i make judgements. Si lola karl din kasi may attitude yan. Sana not true.
DeleteDi ba pag ganyang mga awards-awards ek-ek ang mga celebrity pa ang nagbabayad sa mga sikat na designers para igawa sila ng isusuot?
DeleteREAD IN ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD BLOG THAT HER REPS SAID IT WAS COMPLETE BS. THEY SAID SHE WOULD NEVER ASK TO BE PAID TO WEAR A GOWN BECAUSE IT'S AGAINST HER BELIEFS.. PROBABLY SOMETHING TO DO WITH KARL DOING MELANIA'S GOWNS LATELY, SHE DOES'NT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED TOO MUCH ANYMORE
Delete9:40 Nope. Pinapahiram lang yung mga dresses to celebrities. Publicity din yun kasi.
DeleteI mean seriously, Karl's dresses are beautiful but then again, why wear it if I can wear an equally beautiful dress and earn at the same time. Cheap, probably yes but who cares, I worked my ass off through these years to be where I am right now.
DeleteAbout time I benefit from all my hardwork - OPTIONS!!!

Sourkraut lang si Lolo Karl dahil nag ask si Meryl for a paycheck. Infer kung tutuusin nakakatipid ang luxury brands sa publicity fees dahil Oscars yung ganap at top of the A-list si Meryl. Kulang yung 100k euros na halaga ng damit kung ikumpara mo sa cost ng publicity campaign with the same level of status as Meryl Streep and same prestige and events coverage as The Oscars.
Deletebaks 1:27 its called "x-deal" or you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours. sino ba mas nakakatipid? pareho lang sila no! celeb will look fab and be the talk of the town, designer will get free PR.
DeleteAnon 3:26 Donald Trump squanders taxpayers' money, Karl Lagerfeld vs Meryl Streep --- that's their own money. See the difference? Wag mo ihantulad si Meryl kay Trump. She worked hard for everything she has, unlike the orange Cheetos who preys on poor people for the money. Magbasa ka nga ng maambunan ka ng katalinuhan.
DeleteYou forgot the most important bit, Meryl Streep does not need Karl's dress to get publicity. I'm sure she plenty to choose from.
DeleteI thought she only wears PRADA.....😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteakala mo witty ka? handbags at accessories ang Prada, di damit.
Delete11:49 masyado ka namang literal sa sinabi ni 3:30. baka di mo napanuod yung The Devil Wears Prada starring Madam Meryl & Anne Hathaway
Delete11:49 may mga damit din ang Prada.
Delete11:49 Akala mo matalino ka na niyan? May clothing/gowns ang PRADA!
Delete11:49 seriously? Please remain anonymous. Utang na loob!
Deletepahiya c 11:49
DeleteOmg 11:49 buti na lang anon ka, anon ako, anon tayong lahat. Dahil mga ganyang comment ikakahiya mo talaga.
DeletePag pasensyahan natin siya, pradang made in china alam niya
DeleteUtang na loob nmn 11:49!
Deleteanon 12:05 isang panget na pelikula. basura for my standard.
DeleteUnfortunately Anon 5:45 am, Prada produces accessories in China na now. For a few years already. Sad : ( Pero couture, italya lang talaga.
DeleteWoah! I seriously thought bigay/gift or pahiram yung mga dresses..never like "uy suot mo toh, bayaran kita"
ReplyDeleteKarl Lagerfeld knows about cheap stunts, but I wonder why he's close with the Kardashians na tacky ever rin. Hahahahhaa!
Deletefame can get to one's head
ReplyDeletethere's another side of the story. Look at her, that dress doesn't suits her parang binili lng sa mall.
DeleteThat's not the dress. Read again
Deletethere's the other side of your brain 5:28, use it
Delete528 omg thats not the dress
DeleteShe never got to wear the dress 5:28
Delete"She could keep the dress because of the size" standing ovation for lola karl! ibang level ka talaga!!! i love the comeback / thinly veiled insult.
DeleteGo Karl!
ReplyDeletehong taray ni lola karl sumagot! hahaha i lavettt! diva vs diva!
DeleteAwwww. I hope it's not true. I love Meryl Streep, but this is disappointing.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Huhuw
DeleteTrue. Hope it was only her staff and messengers who did the deplorable cheapness. So tacky.
DeleteGolden Rule naman yan from other high-end designer labels that they don't pay for celebrities to wear their dresses. There are some who pay, some don't rin.
baka in-character pa rin siya na miranda priestly? hahaha
DeleteNot actually her. But her management team gusto kumita.
DeleteSana nga yung management lang niya. I see Meryl as a very inspiring anf humble woman pa naman.
DeleteYes. I remember her telling the story of her first awards show na wedding dress niya suot niya kasi di niya afford gowns before. sana management team niya lang tapos fired na agad.
DeleteSo kung sino man ang suot ni Meryl Streep sa Oscar, means binayaran pa sya nito. Wow!
ReplyDeletePapasuot na nga sayo ng libre tas magpapabayad ka pa? Ang taas mo lang
ReplyDeleteHaha! Karma. It's your turn (streep) to be bash.
ReplyDeleteto be bashed dapat atey
DeleteSi 5:26 naman ang bahala sa karma mo, 4:38. Jinudge mo kasi agad si meryl, kaya ayan...na judge ka din, at wala pang isang oras ha.
DeletePagbigyan na kasi si lola Meryl, no?
ReplyDeleteWell she is Meryl Streep after all. Pag sinuot ka nya aba eh libreng ads na yun no.
ReplyDeleteChanel doesnt need ads. Concrete and famous ang brand sa hollywood, Streep must be thankful nalang sana kasi sponsored na yung damit
Delete7:08 meryl doesnt have to be thankful im sure she can afford the dress if she really liked it.
DeleteCmon Chanel spends millions of dollars in ads. Where did you get the idea that it doesn't need one?
ReplyDeletethey don't need meryl either
DeleteMillion of people watch MS in the red carpet through the TV. How many people can KL attract wherever? So who needs who?
DeleteThey do not need Meryl but wanted to dress her for 100+ USD for free? So is this a case of charity?
Deletebaks 1:34 basahin mo ulit pleaseee! where does it say karl wanted to dress meryl? asaannn?
Deletemeryl wanted the gray silk frock and her ordered it! omaygash baks! anobeh??? and oo, charity case ang pagbigay ng damit hahaha
He wanted to give the dress for free so he wanted to dress her up. If he did not he wanted to paid. There is such thing as logic
Deleteaba matinde, yung iba gusto libre...eto naman gusto babayaran pa😳
ReplyDeleteUng ibang designers nagbabayad ng mga artista/stylist to wear their creations.
Deletewhy does karl/chanel need to make this unnecessary noise?
ReplyDeleteexacto! sino ang cheap, di ba?
Deleteglad he did para magkaalaman na
DeleteAy true ka dyan baks! Bakit nga ba??
DeleteBaka pagod na at sawa na sa hingi at bayad ng mga artista
DeleteNot true. Basa basa din. This has something to do with Trump.
DeleteFYI di po need magbayad ni Meryl para magsuot ng gown. Mayaman po sila, may pera pa si Willie.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaa grabe baks lakas ng tawa ko dito sa hospital sa comment mo!
DeleteSiguro naman hindi talaga intensyon ng camp ni Meryl na singilin si Karl. Aba nakakahiya naman na ipa-customize mo pa yung design tapos sisingilin pala. Siguro may nag-alok na designer, probably not as famous as Karl, na bayaran sila. Eh pera din yun. Eto namang staff, sana nagpalusot nalang ng kung ano mang reason.
ReplyDeletePure politics. Meryl blasted Trump in her Globes speech. Lagerfeld is Melania's designer of choice.
ReplyDeleteBaka naman yung bayad idea ng camp/glam team ni Meryl at wala syang malay regarding the deal. C'mon sa dami nyang milyones barya lang sa kanya yan.
ReplyDeleteMas cheap si Karl
ReplyDeleteHello, si karl nga gumawa ng libreng couture for her, paano sya naging cheap? $105,000 to make and take note binigay pa nila kay meryl because its her size. Wala ng pera siguro si Meryl Streep, alam mo nman sa hollywood madaming gastos kapag artista ka dun
Delete11:17 karl is cheap because of how he handled the situation. of course, the dress is expensive, that is because of the brand/name, but karl's demeanor was the opposite of what chanel represents.
Delete11:17, side swipe yun. When he said Streep can keep it because of the size, sinasabi niya na mataba siya (isama pa yung "It's couture" hanash niya).
DeleteI don't believe this story. Meryl's been to hundreds of awards shows for over 30 yrs, wearing Chanel and numerous other designers, not once, and I must say, never have I heard anyone say that they were asked to pay her. NOT even Chanel or Lagerfeld, which she used multiple times already. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Trump. lately Melania and Ivanka's been wearing couture done by Lagerfeld. maybe that's why.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Resist the orange faced- fuhrer!
DeleteI agree 11:09. In all her years in the business, ngayon lang natsismis ng ganyan si Meryl Streep.
DeleteIt also doesn't help na Republican supporter si Lagerfeld.
This whole thing stinks.
very classy and refined ang newest haute couture collection ng Chanel. it suits Meryl! Yung manager ni Meryl ang may kasalanan. It all boils down na may nag offer na other brand na free clothes + cash para sila ang piliin over Chanel but i don't think laging ganun ang deal when it comes to dressing Meryl for awards night. Business is business kaya dun sila sa better deal.
ReplyDeleteMas cheap yung pag hire niya sa overrated "models" na sina Kendall at Gigi para sa social media mileage ng brand niya.
ReplyDeleteTrue. They call them SUPERMODELS pa ha, the nerve. Hindi naman sila magaling na models. Not even close to being a model, di ba? Dead eyes naman sa photos si Kendall na yan. Haha!
DeleteKendall and Gigi, who???
Delete--Linda Evangelista
Hmmm, I will give the benefit of the doubt. Might be that it is just Meryl's managers or handlers coz you know, they can get a cut out of the payment but if this is true then I will lose some of my respect to her.
ReplyDeleteI think Madam Streep is mocking those designers whose paying celebrities to wear their creation....
ReplyDeletewhy is his side published here and not meryl's? her camp has responded and they call bs.
ReplyDeleteKarl Lagerfeld Threw Shade at Adele, Princess Diana and Other Celebs Before Meryl Streep.
ReplyDeleteHe threw shade at Princess Di????!!!! Like, ano sabi nya?
DeleteThey got paid by designers? Not just sent free clothes? Grabe to be a celebrity pala.
Deleteanu mali kung humingi ka ng fee? eh pag sinuot mo ung ilang milyong viewers ba makakakita? hindi mo naman pag susuutin ng gawa mo ang isang artist kung walang commercial value di ba?
ReplyDeleteShe ha vehemently denied it and slammed KL. Karl L already retracted his statement. Chanel has apologized to Meryl Streep.
