Emily Blunt has unveiled a dramatic transformation for her character in the highly anticipated sequel, “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Spotted on the New York set, Blunt sported a striking platinum blonde hairstyle, a radical departure from her character’s previous look, significantly lightening her natural shade.
Blunt is reprising her role as Emily Charlton, the sharp-tongued assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). While details of the plot remain under wraps, screenwriters have hinted that Charlton will be “playing her own game” this time around, suggesting a more prominent or complex storyline.
Filming the scene, Blunt embodied a distinct rock-and-roll vibe. Her outfit consisted of a black shirt layered under a short, striped burgundy jumper featuring an embroidered “NY” logo and a chain-link tie, paired with a black mini skirt and heeled booties.
The shoot day also featured her co-stars Meryl Streep, returning as the formidable Miranda Priestly, and Anne Hathaway, back as the protagonist Andy Sachs, indicating key scenes involving the original trio.
Adding another layer to the sequel’s narrative, Blunt was seen filming a romantic sequence last week alongside a new on-screen love interest. Production for “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is expected to continue into early next year, with the film scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026. Blunt’s bold new look signals a fresh chapter for her character in the long-awaited follow-up.
