Emily Blunt Dives into Lake Como: A Peek at Family Time Amid The Devil Wears Prada 2 Filming
EXCLUSIVE: Emily Blunt and John Krasinski Enjoy Family Fun in Lake Como While Filming 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Hits Milan
In a rare break from filming, Emily Blunt has been spotted enjoying some well-deserved family time with her husband John Krasinski and their two adorable daughters, Hazel and Violet, at the picturesque Lake Como. The actress, 42, who is currently working on the highly anticipated sequel to 'The Devil Wears Prada,' took a break from her grueling shooting schedule in Milan to soak up some sun and quality time with her loved ones.
According to sources close to the family, Emily and John were seen kayaking across the lake with their daughters, with Emily sporting a radiant smile as she paddled alongside Violet. Meanwhile, John shared a kayak with Hazel, who seemed to be having the time of her life. It's clear that even in the midst of filming one of the most anticipated sequels of the year, family always comes first for this beloved couple.
But back to Milan, where 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' is currently in production. Emily has been spotted on set, reprising her role as the iconic and acid-tongued assistant Emily Charlton. And she's not alone – Anne Hathaway returns as Andy Sachs, while Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci have even made appearances at Milan Fashion Week. The queen of fashion herself, Anna Wintour, has also been a subject of interest in recent days, with some speculating that her character may be an inspiration for the sequel.
But what about the plot? Well, let's just say it's going to be a wild ride. Reports suggest that Miranda Priestly (played by Meryl Streep) is facing new challenges as print magazines struggle to stay relevant in the digital age. And who better to turn to than her former assistant Emily Charlton, now a top executive at a luxury label? It's like they say: "You can't keep a good woman down" – and Emily Charlton is certainly not going anywhere.
When the original 'Devil Wears Prada' hit theaters in 2006, it was a cultural phenomenon that cemented itself as one of the defining comedies of the decade. The film earned two Academy Award nominations, including Best Actress for Meryl Streep, who also took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. And let's not forget the iconic fashion moments – who can forget Miranda Priestly's infamous "That's all" line?
The sequel has enlisted some big names to bring the magic back to life. David Frankel and Aline Brosh McKenna, the director and writer of the original movie, have been tapped for the same jobs on 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' And with a May 2026 release date just around the corner – exactly 20 years after the original's release – fans are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an unforgettable ride.
But here's the scoop: the real question on everyone's mind is, who will join Emily Blunt in the sequel? Speculation has been rife about a certain A-lister, and The Scholarly Note can exclusively reveal that Lady Gaga has indeed joined the cast. But what role will she play? Sources close to the production have remained tight-lipped, but one thing's for sure – with Gaga on board, it's going to be a wild ride.
Stay tuned for more updates from Milan as 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' takes shape. In the meantime, let's all take a moment to appreciate Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's adorable family moments at Lake Como – they're truly one of Hollywood's most beloved couples.
UPDATE: The Scholarly Note has reached out to Lady Gaga's representatives for comment on her role in 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' but so far, no official confirmation has been received. Stay tuned for more updates as this story continues to unfold!
