Emily Blunt Debuts a Bold New Look for The Devil Wears Prada Sequel

Filming for The Devil Wears Prada sequel is in full swing, and paparazzi photos are giving us a sneak peek at the cast’s fresh looks. While Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs keeps her long brunette hair and Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly sticks to her signature ash-blonde pixie cut, Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton appears to be undergoing some major hair transformations.

Just weeks ago, set photos showed Blunt with her character’s signature copper-red shade—a callback to her breakout role in the original film. Over the years, Blunt has experimented with caramel blondes and brunettes, but this was her first return to that fiery red since 2006. Back then, the sharp-tongued Runway assistant was as memorable for her cutting remarks as she was for that high-fashion, almost villainous red hair.

Now, Blunt has taken things even further with a dramatic bleach-blonde bob, complete with dark roots and a sleek, shoulder-length cut. Paired with a black-and-red striped Coach sweater, a Maison Margiela skirt, sheer tights, and Gianvito Rossi loafers, the look screams high-powered executive—fitting, since the sequel may follow Emily Charlton’s rise from Runway assistant to luxury brand bigwig.

The film’s plot is still under wraps, but if it follows the sequel book, Emily and Miranda will clash over ad revenue as Runway struggles to stay relevant in the digital age. Could this icy blonde bob signal a new chapter for Emily Charlton? In real life, such a drastic change often marks a fresh start—a breakup, a promotion, a reinvention.

Whatever the reason, we’ll have to wait until 2026 to find out. For now, we’ll just admire the transformation.
