Here are some photos of Meryl Streep and Carey Mulligan at last night’s LA premiere of Suffragette. Meryl wore a Marni dress that looks like it was made in the 1970s and I don’t mean that as a compliment. What the fug, Meryl? Carey didn’t look much better in her lilac Oscar de la Renta dress with unfortunate ruffles, although I’m more willing to give Carey a pass because she just gave birth to her daughter Evelyn a month ago.

Meryl Streep has been remarkably quiet since she totally screwed up the promotion for Suffragette a few weeks ago. She refuses to self-identify as feminist (calling herself a “humanist,” which has nothing to do with this issue) and when asked point-blank about the controversy, Meryl gave one of the most infuriating answers on record. So, in the past week, someone told Meryl to simply be quiet about the whole thing. Which means that we don’t have any juicy new quotes from Meryl about how she loves men too much to want women’s equality. Carey did tell a nice story about Meryl standing up for her during the promotional tour though:

Carey Mulligan is not only busy promoting her new movie Suffragette, but she’s doing it while caring for a newborn baby.

“The last couple of weeks have been pretty stressful,” Mulligan said with a laugh last night at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event, where she was among the evening’s eight honorees. “Doing press and doing it with a tiny baby, timing has been very important and babies do what they want, which is a challenge. But it’s really helpful when you have Meryl Streep backstage at events shouting at people on your behalf—telling them to hurry the hell up because you have a nursing mother here.”

Well, that’s nice. Eh. What do you want me to say? I still can’t believe Meryl screwed up so badly and I still have some negative feelings towards her. Do I believe that Meryl is all about women’s rights and that she’s looking after the younger ladies? Sure. Do I believe Meryl needs to find a better way to discuss feminism and everything else? Yep.
