Meryl Streep isn’t just a Golden Globe, Emmy, and Oscar award-winning actress — she’s a style icon, too. And she’s got the outfits to back it up.

On Wednesday, the A-lister was spotted leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California alongside her Only Murders in the Building co-star, Martin Short. While Streep’s choice of dining companion was certainly interesting, the most noteworthy aspect of the outing may have been her outfit: a bright red blazer jacket layered over a hot pink blouse and styled with cropped pants and loafers.
