Meryl Streep’s daughter prompted The Devil Wears Prada fans to call for a prequel.

On Friday, Grace Gummer, 39, posted pictures of herself attending events in New York City on Instagram.

The first photo was a close-up of her face, showing the collar of a bright blue jacket, which, in a later photo, was revealed to be a velvet set with matching wide-legged pants.

In the selfie, Gummer looked like the spitting image of her mother. She even paid homage to Streep’s latest film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, with her caption, “So I wore cerulean.”

“Cerulean blue” was part of an iconic monologue by Streep’s character, Runway magazine editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, in the original 2006 film.

In the scene, fashion novice Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway) wears a cerulean blue cable-knit sweater as Priestly lectures her on the color’s history.

Fans quickly grew excited by the post, imagining a prequel in which Gummer would take on her mother’s iconic role.

“Can we do a Miranda prequel?” one fan wrote, adding, “There is only ONE casting option here.”

Another one suggested the prequel should show how young Priestly made her way to the top of the magazine business.

Gummer not only bears an incredible resemblance to her mother but also follows in her footsteps as an actress.

Her first role was a younger version of Streep’s character, Clara del Valle Trueba, in the 1993 historical drama The House of Spirits.
