Black has always suited Emily Blunt well. In the original The Devil Wears Prada, one of her best looks occurs when her character, also named Emily, attends a charity benefit in a black slip dress with sequined embroidery along the bust and spaghetti-strap sleeves. In this particular scene, her character is notably suffering from a bad cold, but yet she still looks totally fabulous.
On Wednesday evening, Blunt decided to turn to one of her strongest shades again, as she attended a gala reception called “A Night With Runway” in London, following the European premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2. For the occasion, the actor wore a stylish look with a bit of an edge that would’ve certainly made her on-screen character proud.
Courtesy of Dior, and pulled from the house’s Spring/Summer 2026 couture collection by Jonathan Anderson, Blunt’s minidress put a gothic spin on balletcore. Layered over a black tank, the delicate design consisted of a lacy, long-sleeve top with a frilly jabot-like detail, while the skirt morphed into a dramatic tutu, which flared out in a fan shape.
Blunt’s stylist, Jessica Paster, kept the ensemble monochromatic, pairing the dress with inky Wolford tights and platform sandal heels with ankle straps, courtesy of Jimmy Choo. Finally, the look was accessorized with silver jewelry from Monica Vinader.
Throughout the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Blunt has pulled out statement after statement, from a sculptural Schiaparelli gown to a bright-red Balenciaga dress and more. Clearly, her work’s not finished yet.
