At the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, Cher and Meryl Streep showed that they are great friends by recreating a famous photo from years ago.
The pair were seen talking and catching up behind the scenes at the event in LA on Monday night, after the Devil Wears Prada star, 74, gave the 77-year-old the icon award.
In a beautiful photo, the Believe singer wore a bejeweled black long-sleeved top, paired with fancy pants she has had for ’40 years’.
She posed with her friend, who chose a floor-length, flowing white dress with a sparkly bag and thick glasses.
Fans on social media loved the photo, which looked very similar to one Meryl and Cher took at the premiere for their film, Silkwood, in 1983.
In the original photo, both were seen looking to the side in similar-colored outfits to Monday evening, and clearly hadn’t aged a day in the 41 years since the movie was released.
On social media, a Twitter user named Eva pointed out: ‘There is 40 years between these photos of Meryl Streep and Cher.’
Venhoe_Dragon praised: ‘They have been beautiful their entire lives!’
‘This is what 40 years of friendship looks like,’ the Cher Brasil fan page said. ‘@Cher and Meryl Streep at #iHeartAwards2024 vs 1983 Silkwood premiere in NY.’
Brandi simply added: ‘Absolutely beautiful legendary women of our time.’
Meryl was there to introduce Cher at the iHeart Radio Awards, and couldn’t help praising her close friend and colleague.
She explained that, although they first met while working on Silkwood, the musician had been a part of her life for years before that.
The Oscar-winner also praised the work she had done with veterans and for LGBTQ+ rights, thanking her for using her platform.
‘Cher has had a number one record in every one of the last seven decades. She’s the only women in US history to have done that,’ she told the star-studded audience.
‘What does it take to have those kind of legs? We all want to know. It’s not 15 minutes of fame anymore, you’re lucky if you get seven seconds of someone’s fractured attention, never mind seven decades.
‘It takes talent but more than that, I think it takes heart. When I think of Cher, I think of her giant heart. How open it is, how battered it is, and how strong it is.
‘How she leads with her heart in everything she does – her acting, her singing, her dancing, her dressing. She just puts it all out there.’
