Meryl Streep's style evolution in 60 photos: How actress became long-standing queen of the red carpet

Prada certainly isn't the only label you'll find in this star's wardrobe

With all the awards lining her trophy cabinet, it's no surprise that Meryl Streep is something of an old hand when it comes to walking the red carpet.

After all, the American actress, 71, has had decades to perfect her awards-season style, having received her first Oscar nomination back in 1978 for The Deer Hunter.

And it's not just Prada you'll find in her wardrobe.

Streep, known for her intuition and versatility on screen, also echoes that approach on the red carpet, moving from bohemian prints and relaxed separates to sleek block-colour gowns with ease.

The actress, who made her film debut with 1977's Julia and has gone on to star in the likes of Sophie's Choice, The Iron Lady and Doubt, can also be relied upon to break away from the season's trends, often donning avante-garde tailoring when everyone else is in floaty chiffons and romantic lace.

Streep often turns to legacy labels, such as Valentino, Balenciaga and Lanvin, with a smattering of designers from the region, such as Elie Saab, and more oft-beat brands including Marni.

Here, we take a look at how the star's style has evolved throughout her time in the spotlight.

Scroll through the gallery above to see more images of Meryl Streep through the years.

From Europe to the Middle East, economic success brings wealth - and lifestyle diseases

A rise in obesity figures and the need for more public spending is a familiar trend in the developing world as western lifestyles are adopted.

One in five deaths around the world is now caused by bad diet, with obesity the fastest growing global risk. A high body mass index is also the top cause of metabolic diseases relating to death and disability in Kuwait,  Qatar and Oman – and second on the list in Bahrain.

In Britain, heart disease, lung cancer and Alzheimer’s remain among the leading causes of death, and people there are spending more time suffering from health problems.

The UK is expected to spend $421.4 billion on healthcare by 2040, up from $239.3 billion in 2014.

And development assistance for health is talking about the financial aid given to governments to support social, environmental development of developing countries.
