It was a delightful mélange of old school and new, as stars from every era paid tribute to Hollywood original Diane Keaton.
Possibly the most fabulous moment of the American Film Institute’s 45th Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to the actress, though? The always radiant Meryl Streep who honored her friend by dressing in Annie Hall drag.
“Diane Keaton, arguably one of the most covered-up persons in the history of clothes, is also a transparent woman,” Streep told the crowd, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “even though she is famously the only member of the original cast of ‘Hair’ on Broadway who would not take off her clothes at the end of the show.”
The crowd was a who’s who of Tinsel Town – Woody Allen, Reese Witherspoon, Al Pacino, Emma Stone, Morgan Freeman, Sarah Silverman, Rachel McAdams, Steve Martin, and Martin Short were all at the special event – and are all longtime friends of Keaton.

It’s always a day-brightener to see fellow quirkster Candice Bergen.

I think Sarah Silverman gets more beautiful as she gets older. Truly, that is a face that belongs on the silver screen. Let’s get more roles for her. (Photo: MediaPunch)
Still a vixen at 66. Never change, Jane Seymour, never change.
Emma Stone looks lovely, but…
… that Loewe’s multi-color needlepunch dress is not. Still, this her first major red carpet since winning the Oscar, so it’s nice to see her out and about, no matter what she wears.
We’ve been seeing a lot of Meg Ryan on a lot of red carpets lately, and God Bless her. She’s an icon and deserves to kick up her heels. MOR MEG! MORE MEG!
Here’s the totally kick-ass it-girl of Hollywood right now, Wonder Woman director Patti Jenkins.
And without further adieu, here’s Meryl stealing EVERYBODY’S thunder (via Instagram)…
