Emily Blunt recently finished filming The Devil Wears Prada 2, but she kept her high fashion attitude at ELLE’s Women in Hollywood event in Los Angeles. The 2025 honoree and Smashing Machine actress wore a cream-colored Ralph Lauren dress with layered ruffle accents at the neckline. She posed alone on the red carpet and later with co-star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. (Blunt’s husband, John Krasinski, is currently filming a Jake Ryan movie in New York City.)
In an interview with ELLE, Blunt talked about working with Krasinski in A Quiet Place. “I don’t think he knew what he was capable of,” she says. “So it was like watching someone discover a superpower, and it was wild. Before we started, I said, ‘Look, I’m excited to do this with you, but do you know how to shoot this movie? ‘Cause I don’t know how to shoot a movie. So I’m just asking.’ He was laughing, and I was like, ‘I think I know how to shoot it.’ I don’t know why, but I think so. ”And lo and behold, he was. And can you imagine if he really thought I was shit? That’s not good. If we had made that movie and not respected and admired each other, I think it would have been an absolute disaster. ”
She also said that her role as Emily Charlton, Miranda Priestley’s first assistant in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, was the reason she had the career she has today. Filming the sequel nearly 20 years later was “so emotional because everything has changed,” she said. “[Director]David Frankel changed my life by casting me when I was an unknown. I was working and no one knew who I was, and he knew from a recorded reading that he wanted me to be in the movie. It meant a lot to me.”
Blunt added of Emily, “She was a very funny person.” “This opened the door for people to see me as more than just a girl in a British period drama. It opened the door to character roles, which is all I wanted. I didn’t want to be an original. I was interested in exploring my whole bag of tricks.”
