Emily Blunt Debuts Dramatic Hair Transformation for 'The Devil Wears Prada' Sequel

As the highly anticipated sequel to the 2006 fashion-centric film 'The Devil Wears Prada' gears up for production, lead actress Emily Blunt has debuted a striking new look for her character. On August 14th, 2025, Blunt, 42, was photographed on the New York City set sporting a bold, bleach-blonde bob with a shadow root, a significant change from the deep red hair her character Emily Charlton sported in the original movie.

Blunt's updated appearance is a clear indication that her character's style is evolving to keep up with the fast-paced fashion world. In addition to her new hair, the actress was seen wearing a black-and-red striped Coach sweater featuring an apple shape with "N.Y." embroidered in the center, a nod to the film's setting in the Big Apple. She completed the look with a silver tie, vibrant red pants, and maroon heeled ankle boots.

The sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada' will see the return of Anne Hathaway as Andy, the recent college graduate who navigated the high-intensity world of fashion and global media while working as an assistant to the cold and particular Runway magazine Editor-in-Chief, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, was Priestly's former assistant, and her dramatic hair transformation suggests her character's journey will continue to evolve in the upcoming film.
