Emily Blunt leans into after-party glamour with a look that feels equal parts polished and daring. She stepped out for The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere after-party in New York. The actor traded red carpet style for something sharper, proving that a quick outfit change can completely shift the mood of the night.
Emily Blunt wows in Balmain turtleneck top and high slit wrap skirt for premiere after-party
Emily Blunt pairs a structured black velvet turtleneck with strong, sculpted shoulders from Balmain’s Fall/Winter 2026 lineup, instantly setting a powerful tone. The top keeps things sleek and minimal, letting the rest of the outfit do the talking without overwhelming the silhouette. It is a classic styling move, but one that feels fresh thanks to the exaggerated proportions.
The real standout, though, is the wrap skirt. Crafted in sheer black fabric and layered with metallic gold leaf detailing, it catches the light with every step. The dangerously high slit pushes the look into bold territory, revealing sheer black polka-dot tights underneath that add texture without breaking the colour story. It is a clever balance between coverage and reveal, giving the outfit both structure and movement. As noted by Harper’s Bazaar, she wore the look exactly as it appeared on the runway. This makes it stay true to the house’s original styling.
She finishes the look with black stiletto sandals, a compact black clutch, and extremely long gold drop earrings from the brand Juju Vera. This echoes the shimmer of the skirt and ties all the elements together without competing with it. Her slicked-back bun and classic red lip keep the focus tight, reinforcing the overall sharpness of the ensemble.
It is not a look that plays safe, and that is exactly the point. Blunt embraces the drama of the high slit and the richness of the gold detailing, turning an after-party moment into her personal runway. Her fashion choice mirrors her on-screen persona perfectly, channeling the same sharp elegance that defines her character.
