Friday was another day everyone worked from dawn 'til dusk. It was top priority that this be one of the élite parties of the season. Miranda demanded that the models and their families get the utmost treatment for the entire party. This was going to be one party that Miranda would be attending for most of the night. John, Emily and Serena were at the venue double and triple checking all the details. Nigel was getting the finishing touches on Six's and Bonnie's gowns. Miranda had gowns for the models and the two Grandmother's to be sent to their homes. She was finally going to get her wish to dress Meryl Streep.
The hours slipped by quickly on Saturday. The girls were at their Fathers for the weekend. Assistants and hairdressers were at the townhome making sure the three women were dazzling and stunning. Roy was sitting out front in the car waiting to take them to the party.
Andy walked in to the bedroom and gasped. "OH MY GOD Miranda!" Miranda was exquisite looking. Andy could not take her eyes off the lady.
Miranda smirked. "Not bad for an old lady." Andy blinked her mouth went dry. "Andréa?"
"I-I OH MY GOD. I have seen you in some dazzling gowns but this." Andrea was eyeing all of Miranda's curves and her beautiful legs.
Miranda smiled, "Yes, well I could say the same about you."
Andy returned to the present looked at her own outfit, smiled, and twirled around. "Yep, Nigel out done himself this time."
Miranda grabbed Andréa's arm. "Shall we see how our other companion is doing?" Andy smiled and led the way downstairs. Bonnie was standing near the door.
Bonnie turned as she heard the couple descend the stairs. "Wow. You two are going to be the talk of the ball."
"Us?" Andy burst out. "Have you seen yourself?"
Bonnie smiled shyly. "I don't look like myself."
"Nonsense little sister. It is all you. Now shall we go and have some fun?" Andy laughed. "What seems to be so funny?"
"Miranda Priestly wants to have fun." Andrea giggled.
"Yes, well Nigel said it would be good for me." Andy and Bonnie were both laughing as they exited the townhome.
As they approached the car Roy already had the door open. He bowed. "Ladies, looking good."
The car pulled up to the red carpet. Bonnie looked scared to death.
Andy leaned into Bonnie smiling. "Are you ready for this? All you have to do is smile. Miranda will take care of the rest."
Roy opened the door and Miranda made her appearance. The cameras were snapping in full force. Miranda smiled and waited for Andréa to get out. Miranda was so happy. She was ready to show of her love and little sister. Andréa was just magnificent. Miranda held out her hand and Andréa took it. Bonnie was last to emerge. Miranda stopped along the way answering questions from the press that had won her trust.
Someone yelled out. "Do we get to see the rings?" Miranda looked at Andréa and raised an eyebrow. Andy smiled and nodded. They held their hands up and the press went wild.
Once inside Andy felt the atmosphere change. Even if she had not been with her she would have known that Miranda had just entered the building.
Bonnie tapped Andy on the shoulder. "Is it always like this?"
Andy turned smiled brightly and nodded. Miranda looked around the room and noted all the principle people were here. John showed up just in time. "I was beginning to think you had forgotten." Miranda stared at the young man.
"No Miranda just had a hard tim …" Miranda glared at him.
The trio made the rounds, the Mayor, Governor, and Senators. She gave special attention to the featured designers from the issue especially Valentino.
Valentino turned to Andrea, "Ah Miss Andréa we meet again. Your article molto bello. I have seen your cover pictures also. Molto bello."
Andy bowed. "Thank you sir."
Next they wander over to Jennifer and Ben. Before John could even say anything Miranda exclaimed. "Jennifer you are looking so lovely."
Jennifer smiled. "Yes, thanks to you. The gown is beautiful. Miranda, Andy, Meet Ben my Husband." Miranda shook hands. Andy almost fainted. Miranda smirked at Andréa.
Not far away sat Kate and Goldie with Mamie and Meryl. "Kate, Mamie I am so glad you were able to make it. I see you managed to drag your Mothers too." Miranda smiled and air kissed the women.
Kate started laughing. "Yes, the men are all here too. They went off to get us drinks."
"Kate, you had the baby?" Andy exclaimed.
Kate grinned, "Yes, want to see pictures?"
"Of course!" Andrea exclaimed.
Miranda turned to Mamie. "You are look well. Radiant."
Mamie smiled. "Thank you Miranda. I am feeling good. And I have you to thank for looking so good. The gowns are awesome. Especially the one you sent my Mom."
Miranda turned toward Meryl. "Your Daughter is right, you make the gown look exquisite." Andy glared at Miranda. Miranda smiled. "Do not worry my love. I only have eyes for you and I believe Meryl is in a very long-term relationship."
Andy blushed and Meryl spoke up. "You have every right to be worried Andy. Miranda sure seems to know how to make an entrance. If I wasn't an old married woman I could be swayed." Mamie giggled.
"I am afraid we must continue our rounds. Again nice to see you. Hopefully we will run into each other again tonight. Enjoy the party." Miranda bowed than turned.
Bonnie tapped Andy on the shoulder again. "That was Meryl Streep."
Andy smiled. "I know, awesome isn't it?"
"Chris, Maxine." Miranda hugged the two women. "Maxine how are you doing. You look fabulous. Chris not so bad."
Chris frowned, "Very funny Miranda. Hello Andy, Bonnie. You three look beautiful."
Maxine rolled her eyes. "I am feeling good Miranda this party is fabulous."
Chris rolled her eyes. "Miranda you are really going to pay for this." Miranda laughed. She turned to Andréa and Bonnie you can stay here and enjoy yourselves. I need to go make the rest of the rounds." She leaned to Andrea and gave her a light kiss. "I will be back soon."
Miranda saw Irv and purposefully did not go to him. Instead she made him come to her. "Well Irv, I am so glad you made it."
"Miranda, I told Irv we had to come over. I just had to tell you what a great issue this one was." Came from Irv's wife. "Whatever gave you the idea to do it? I do not believe you have ever done an issue like it before. Have you?"
Miranda arched an eyebrow. "Well no Glenda I have not. I like new bright ideas for Runway, and I have a few acquaintances who happen to be pregnant now. It only made sense to show beautiful pregnant women in beautiful clothes"
"The dresses. They never had outfits like that when I was pregnant. They are so beautiful. And how ever did you get those movie stars to model for you, especially Meryl Streep. I heard she does not like to do things like that." Glenda gushed.
Miranda smiled, "Glenda, all I had to do was ask. They were all happy to do it and for free."
"Free my ass. How much were those designer gowns you gave away?" Irv grumbled.
"Irv, stop hassling Miranda. All you have done lately is brag about how much money these last few issue have brought you." Glenda chided.
Miranda looked at Irv, smirked and turned away. "Glenda it has been nice to see you again. I hope you and Irv will be available to come to my wedding next spring."
"Miranda we would not miss it for the world!" Glenda glowed. Miranda smiled and glided away.
The party was a big hit. The large crowd partied until early into the morning. Even Miranda was having a good time. Andy and she were even able to dance a few times. Miranda was able to speak with Meryl Streep one more time and was able to secure a surprise for her family. Meryl even remarked she should let Miranda dress her more often. Miranda smile at that and tuck it away in the back of her mind.
The three women left exhausted. When they returned home all three went right to bed and fell asleep quickly.
