Meryl Streep slips into sheer reptile print gown at Berlin Film Festival opening gala... after her 'We're all Africans' remark
The Berlin International Film Festival got off to a questionable start after one of its panel members launched a bizarre defence in favour of the judges being all-white.
But putting her earlier comments in the past, Meryl Streep cut a glamorous figure at the opening gala of the film festival in Germany.
Taking to the red carpet on Thursday evening, the 66-year-old looked divine in a floor length reptile print gown.
Ahead of the gala, Streep became embroiled in the debate about diversity in the movie industry after the Oscars race row when she dismissed questions about the lack of ethnicity on the jury.
Meryl, who heads the festival's film panel for the first time, had been asked by an Egyptian reporter whether she understood films from the Arab world and North Africa.
The actress admitted she didn't know much about the region, but had 'played a lot of different people from a lot of different cultures.'
The three-time Academy Award winner added: 'There is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture and, after all, we're all from Africa originally.
She continued: 'Berliners, we're all Africans really.'
Streep also asserted that she was committed to equality and inclusion 'of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions.'

This speech at the Golden Globes. Amazing
A lot of people get upset when celebrities make political statements. When the celebrity is highly respected and very intelligent it can be a very good thing. They give a loud voice to those of those who don't have one.
I see a middle of the night twitter rant coming.

Maryl said what needed to be said...and repeated often.
This.was.perfection! Which is more than can be said for the subsequent toddler-Twitter-rant.
