Emily Blunt Channels Casual Cool on Set of The Devil Wears Prada 2

THE SCHOLARLY NOTE EXCLUSIVE: EMILY BLUNT STEPS OUT IN CASUAL CHIC AS "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2" SEQUEL SHOOT KICKS OFF

In a move that's got fashionistas and fans of the iconic 2006 film buzzing, Emily Blunt was spotted on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" in New York City yesterday, looking effortlessly cool as she reprised her role as the stoic and stylish assistant, Emily Charlton. The 42-year-old actress went incognito in a baby blue T-shirt, light jeans, white trainers, and a cream-colored handbag, completing her outfit with a gold necklace and loose, luscious locks.

As the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved film begins production, it's clear that Blunt is ready to bring her A-game once again. And we can't help but wonder what's in store for her character this time around. Will Emily Charlton still be the voice of reason and fashion sense in Miranda Priestly's (Meryl Streep) orbit? Or will she be navigating new challenges as she climbs the corporate ladder?

The original film, which catapulted Anne Hathaway to stardom, was a game-changer for fans of fashion, offering a rare glimpse into the cutthroat world of magazine publishing. And it seems that the sequel will be just as juicy, with sources suggesting that the story may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel "Revenge Wears Prada."

In the book, Andy Sachs (Hathaway) has become a successful editor, only to find herself facing off against her former boss, Miranda Priestly. It's clear that the new film will explore similar themes of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics as the characters navigate their respective paths.

But what about Miranda? Will she still be the icy, demanding editor-in-chief we know and love (or love to hate)? Fans are eagerly awaiting answers, especially after a cryptic message from Hathaway herself. The actress posted a hilarious video on social media yesterday, captioned "Heading to werk" with the hashtag #dwp2, featuring her wearing a cerulean blue sweater – a nod to one of the most iconic scenes in the original film.

As fans of the franchise know all too well, Miranda Priestly's takedown of Andy Sachs' fashion sense is still widely quoted and referenced. And it seems that Hathaway is embracing her role as the lovable but awkward junior assistant once again, even going so far as to recreate the memorable job interview scene in a recent social media post.

With the film set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, fans are understandably excited for what's in store. Will "The Devil Wears Prada 2" be everything we hoped for and more? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Emily Blunt is back and better than ever.
