Emily Blunt appeared at the London premiere of The Smashing Machine on Wednesday, September 24, showcasing her elegance in an Emily Blunt backless dress by David Koma. The actress embraced a monochromatic autumn look that combined style and sophistication on the red carpet.
She wore a backless satin minidress featuring a floor-length train, paired with sheer polka-dot tights and leather peep-toe platform heels. Blunt’s ensemble was enhanced by gold jeweled earrings and a sleek updo, completing a finely tuned statement look for the event.
Styling and Makeup Backing the Iconic Look
The outfit was curated by celebrity stylist Jessica Paster, known for dressing prominent figures such as Glenn Close and Quinta Brunson from Abbott Elementary. Paster’s influence was evident in Blunt’s polished appearance, reflecting both elegance and contemporary flair.
Blunt’s makeup featured shimmery eyeshadow, a soft mauve blush, and a satin nude lip that harmonized with her overall toned-brown styling. This approach underscored a poised, natural beauty suitable for the film premiere’s sophisticated atmosphere.
Reflections on Career and Family
Aside from the premiere, Blunt recently spoke about her work on the upcoming The Devil Wears Prada 2, where she will reprise her role as Emily Charlton, assistant to Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly. In an interview at the American Institute for Stuttering’s 19th annual gala, Blunt reflected on the passage of time since the original movie’s release.
“20 years ago — in a blink, it’s gone by,”
Emily Blunt said.
She expressed that her daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7, whom she shares with husband John Krasinski, would enjoy visiting the film set, especially drawn by the fashion aspects.
“I think they would quite like to go to set,”
Blunt said.
Just for the fashion.

Blunt also teased the renewed tension between her character Emily Charlton and Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, in the sequel. She humorously commented on their recurring on-screen conflicts across multiple films.
“Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do? We always have beef with each other,”
Blunt said.
“I don’t know what it is. Let’s hope we remedy it. I’m not sure.”
