Her latest film Suffragette is sure to garner plenty of attention given the gender imbalance that still exists in the world today.

Meryl Streep was clearly proud to be a part of the period drama on Friday night, smiling alongside Bobbi Brown and Brie Larson at a party to celebrate the film at Arroyo Wine Bar in Telluride, Colorado.

The three-time Oscar winner, 66, stars as Emmeline Pankhurst, the British political activist who helped women gain the right to vote.

Girls on their grind! Meryl Streep seemed was cearly proud to be apart of Suffragette on Friday night , smiling alongside Bobbi Brown and Brie Larson for the featured premiere at Arroyo Wine Bar in Telluride, Colorado

Meryl opted for comfort during the Bobbi Brown toast for the Focus Features debut, wearing a navy blue blazer over a v-neck as they promoted the 1912-set flick.

Suffragette, penned by Abi Morgan, is based on true events and explores Britain’s daunting journey toward granting women equal rights in the early 20th century.

Sporting ovular specs, Meryl left her blonde tresses down in a low-key style which cascaded over her shoulders.

The Into the Woods actress seemed elated while receiving the support of her friends, wrapping her arm around the beaming makeup connoisseur Bobbi.

Brie also couldn't hide her excitement for Meryl's contribution to the highly-anticipated movie, squeezing her tight while both actresses proudly displayed their pearly whites.

Taking to Instagram, Brie wrote: 'Tonight we screen #roomthemovie for the first time. Couldn't be more excited. Thank you #telluridefilmfestival for including us in this incredible long weekend.'

According to Variety, when director Sarah Gavron introduced Streep, the actress was on the receiving end of loud screams and a standing ovation from the audience.

Gavron also shared that it has taken 100 years for the story to reach the screen, and dished that she’s been wanting to get the ball rolling for nearly a decade.

Meryl didn't speak at the event, but she did make time for a quick snapshot with four-time Emmy winning actress Laura Linney.

The Devil Wears Prada star is scheduled for a Q&A on Saturday, but her co-star who plays a convincing lead role in the film, Carey Mulligan will continue to be a no show for good reason.

Carey, 30, who portrays Maude Watts, is currently expecting her first child with her husband Marcus Mumford.

'Never surrender, never give up the fight,' Streep tells Mulligan in the inspiring first trailer of the film slated for release on October 23.

The clip packs a powerful punch as it showcases the women who acted as the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement, being forced underground to fight back against an increasingly brutal State.

Also starring is Helena Bonham Carter as suffragist activist Edith Ellyn and Brendan Gleeson as the oppressive instructor Arthur Steed.

In the trailer, Carey stands her ground against the oppressive state: 'What are you going to do? Lock us all up? We're in every home! We're half the human race you can't stop us all!'

This film is likely near and dear to Meryl's heart considering her standing ovation during Patricia Arquette's speech about wage equality at the 2015 Academy Award ceremony.

It's finally coming: Streep posed with Sarah Gavron, who revealed that night that it has taken 100 years for the story to reach the screen

'It’s high time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America,' Patricia declared while Jennifer Lopez and Meryl excitedly cheered on.

Aside from her appearance in Suffragette, Streep has landed the starring role in Florence Foster Jenkins, about a striving opera singer with a terrible voice.

Her film Ricki And The Flash alongside her daughter Mamie Gummer, is also out in theaters now.

In the drama, Meryl portrays a musician who gave up everything for her dream of rock-and-roll stardom and later returns home with the hopes of making things right with her family.
