THE A-LIST CAST

"The American Horror Story" creator had the star-studded cast come together for the cute picture he shared of them on social media.

Smiling back at the camera, James Corden, Jo Ellen Pellman, Kevin Chamberlin, Ariana DeBose, Keegan-Michael Key, Nicole Kidman, Andrew Rannells, and Kerry Washington were all easy to pick out, but it took a second glance to identify Meryl Streep.

THE MUSICAL DID VERY WELL

STREEP LOOKS GOOD IN ANY COLOR

Over the course of her career, Streep rocked just about every hair color due to her acting roles. In 1969, Streep went with a deep red-brown as seen in "The Lieutenant's Wife," followed by her bottle-blond look in "Death Becomes Her" in the early 1990s.

In "The Bridges of Madison County," Streep went with the country look and black hair, which changed again to blond in the popular flick "The Devil Wears Prada." However, its the first time that the actress's hair shined quite as bright.

Last month, fellow celebrity Sharon Osbourne also stunned with her new look. While the talk show host recently decided to embrace her natural beauty more, she looked almost unrecognizable in a recent update.

The celeb had chopped off all her hair, and additionally, she kept her face makeup-free, which had fans do a double-take when she posted a selfie taken with a parrot.
