It's indeed a daunting decision to make. They are as different as night and day. And in this instance, the assertion holds true: Emily Blunt's portrayal of Emily Charlton in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' has undergone a striking transformation, as witnessed by her dazzling platinum blonde appearance on the New York City set.
On August 14th, the 42-year-old actress unveiled her vibrant, shoulder-length locks with dark roots during the film shoot. She complemented her new hairstyle with chic black Dior sunglasses and a bold red lip, which perfectly matched her black-and-red Coach sweater and silver chainmail tie. Adding to her sophisticated ensemble was a sleek black Maison Margiela skirt paired with black tights, and she finished off the look with stylish platform loafers by Gianvito Rossi.
However, Emily's blonde metamorphosis doesn't necessarily signify a permanent farewell to her character's iconic red tresses. Just a fortnight earlier, the Oscar nominee paraded on set with her fiery orange hair, demonstrating that Emily's character changes are far from slow-moving. What remains somewhat of a mystery is the impetus behind the former executive assistant to Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly opting for such a daring hairstyle. Plot-wise, the movie, which will also welcome back Anne Hathaway and Tracie Thoms, will feature Emily and Miranda locking horns as executives at their respective companies.
"Why are Meryl and I so mean to each other in every movie we do?" Emily joked to Entertainment Tonight in June, addressing the rumors of the film's plot. "We always have some beef with each other. I have no clue why. Let's hope we mend our fences this time. I'm not so sure about that."
Regardless of the ultimate fate of their characters, Stanley Tucci, who will also star in the sequel, was insistent that he and his fellow cast members would jump at the chance to revisit the beloved 2006 movie. "Listen, it was an extraordinary experience, wasn't it?" he told E! News in October, before the sequel's confirmation. "My hope is, if it happens—obviously, we'd have to iron out all the logistics—but it would be a blast for everyone involved."
