Celebs and their look-alike kids! The actress joined real life daughter and co-star, Mamie Gummer, on the red carpet in New York to celebrate the film’s world premiere on Monday (August 3). While Streep donned a long-sleeved black dress with white pleats by Valentino, plus two-toned L.K. Bennett pumps, her oldest daughter modeled a sleeveless top with a black and blush color-blocked A-line skirt and ebony sandals.

Streep learned how to play guitar for the film, in which she performs alongside singer and actor Rick Springfield.

But she commits utterly to Ricki, an aging free spirit attempting to reconnect with her three adult children years after leaving them behind to pursue rock stardom. “But I think other people have corroborated that [she’s] talented, so it’s [been] really fun”. “It’s not just her. I’ve got some stars at home too!”

Whenever a household crisis calls her back again to Indianapolis, she may hardly pay the solution, and it’s clear how badly she fits in to the Midwestern propriety of her aged existence; together with her thumb bands, spiky part braids, and smudged eyeliner, she appears like Stevie Nicks‘ insolvent sibling. “[The best thing about working with my mom] is the shorthand, I guess”, the Good Wife guest star shared. “It makes for a really pleasant experience”.
