Imagine stepping back into the world of Runway magazine two decades later. What would a once-frazzled assistant-turned-executive reach for? On April 20, the stars of The Devil Wears Prada 2 gathered for the film’s world premiere at New York City’s Lincoln Center, and Emily Blunt answered in spectacular fashion. This marked her first major red carpet moment for the highly anticipated sequel, and she didn’t hold back.
Hello, Emily Charlton

Blunt slipped into a standout piece from Daniel Roseberry’s Schiaparelli S/S26 Haute Couture collection. The sculpted bodice was painstakingly designed with thousands of delicate silk thread feathers—around 25,000 in total, built over roughly 4,000 hours of handwork. A single rounded plume accent sat high near the neckline.
Moving down the silhouette, layers of champagne-toned tulle cascaded in soft, asymmetrical tiers with a gentle sfumato gradient and a scissor-cut hem.
The choice of jewelry further elevated the look. Mikimoto’s Les Pétales Place Vendôme Rosés collection supplied the sparkle: a three-strand pearl necklace that seemingly doubled as the gown’s halter string, complete with diamond-studded flower petals, plus a matching bracelet, rings, and earrings. In all, Blunt’s ensemble featured over 300 Akoya cultured pearls.
With her hair pulled into a neat ballerina bun and a confident red lip, Blunt brought just the right mix of edge and elegance. She stood out beside co-stars Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep in their coordinated reds and Stanley Tucci’s sleek suit. The whole ensemble captured how Charlton’s love for striking textures and unapologetic statements might have evolved by 2026—still commanding attention, but with more refinement.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 arrives in Philippine theaters on April 29. If this premiere look is any indication, everyone’s in for a stylish ride.
