‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’: See Emily Blunt’s First Look

Pinstriped pants and corset, white shirt and icy stare: welcome back to the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2, a sequel to the beloved 2006 comedy currently shooting in New York. Twenty years later, we’re finally seeing the return of Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt—who still seems to love her job.

And with a look like that, it couldn’t be any other way. For her first appearance on set—at least, the first photographed by paparazzi—the actress wore an original Jean Paul Gaultier black-and-white pinstripe suit, consisting of wide pants and a corset embellished with laces, overlaid with a white shirt and a bustier top by Wiederhoeft.

Emily also sports a leather lanyard around her neck, and the logo of the Parisian fashion house Dior peeping out on the white shirt below her bustier. The same logo is also apparent on her glasses (strictly black, with some contrasting white outline) as well as on her handbag, a gentle D-Journey hobo—one of the latest models launched by the brand—which is also black with gold details. She is, of course, also wearing heels, albeit concealed by the wide pants.

This shot of blunt follows initial glimpses at Anne Hathaway, who is back in the shoes (and what shoes!) of Andy Sachs, and Meryl Streep, who has once again stepped into those of Miranda Priestly. Let us hope that the second film has something special in store for the wicked but ultimately hapless (and likeable) Emily—at least as singular as the style she wears for her return.
