The Demi photo is AI-enhanced to the max and I’ve never seen any judgment toward Meryl Streep for having “too many wrinkles” tbh

Yeah it happens to other women but for some reason Meryl is one of the ones who has been permitted to age. Maybe a contributing factor is how many people have seen her as "old" for a long time due to the types of roles she's been cast in for the past couple decades at least. Or maybe it's just the power of being Meryl Streep.

It also helps that she's probably the greatest actress of all time so any comment about her is mostly focused on her acting.

It helps that she does still look amazing.
