Emily Blunt cuts a casual figure in a T-shirt and jeans as she departs the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in NYC
The actress, 42, tried to keep a low profile as she sported a white and black cap and kept her head down while heading to a waiting car.
The film star, who is reprising her role of Emily Charlton from the first film, sported a baby blue T-shirt tucked into a pair of light jeans.
She also wore a pair of white trainers and complimented her outfit with a cream handbag.
Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, Emily completed her look with a gold necklace.
Emily portrayed the long-suffering assistant of magazine editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep while Anne Hathaway starred as her junior assistant Andy Sachs.
All three women are reprising their roles in the sequel along with new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, and Pauline Chalamet.
In the sequel, Blunt's character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs—setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics.
While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy's post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original film strutted into pop culture history.
The original film lifted the lid on the cut-throat fashion world, and two decades on that world will have changed, not least for Sachs's domineering boss, Runway editor-in-chief Miranda, played again by Meryl.
The movie is expected to at least reveal her fate, showing her once-all-powerful character dealing with the decline of print industry.
One question is whether she will have retained her icy demeanor.
In one scene in the first film, Andy chuckles through an editorial fashion meeting led by Priestly, who then delivers a cutting assessment of her 'cerulean' sweater.
'You think this has nothing to do with you,' Priestly tells her.
'You go to your closet, and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.'
The scene became iconic and spawned the 'cerulean blue' theory of how all styles trickle down from the catwalk.
Anne made a nod to the scene yesterday morning when she posted a clip online wearing a similar sweater with the caption 'Heading to werk' [sic] with the hashtag #dwp2.
In the video, Anne is seen hurriedly getting ready, this time brushing her teeth with an electric toothbrush, a modern upgrade from Andy's manual one in the original film's memorable job interview scene.
But it was her outfit that truly sent her followers spiraling.
The brief clip quickly exploded online, with commenters quoting Miranda's epic takedown of Andy's supposed fashion indifference.
One gushed: 'SHE'S WEARING THAT CERULEAN BLUE!!!!'

Nicola Benedetti on marrying a man 25 years her senior
As one of the best-known violinists in the world, Nicola Benedetti enjoys a stellar public profile. Yet she has maintained a strict secrecy around her private life, even though it has been long-rumoured in music circles. Now she has confirmed for the first time that she is married to Wynton Marsalis, the celebrated jazz musician who is 25 years her senior, and they have a baby daughter. They met professionally when she was 17 and he was 42, and much later began a romantic relationship. Benedetti has publicly shared the joys of motherhood but did not, until now, confirm the identity of the father. Speaking to the Telegraph, Benedetti, 38, said of her marriage to Marsalis, 63, who counts former US president Barack Obama among his admirers: 'I think it's pretty much out there now. I really don't care any more if people want to write about it or not.' Explaining why she has not talked about her relationship with Marsalis, with whom she has collaborated on musical projects for many years, Benedetti said: 'I don't tend to discuss my private life because people don't come to my concerts because of whom I'm in a relationship with. They come because I play the violin.' Benedetti was 17 when she travelled to New York to attend the American Academy of Achievement summit as a student-delegate. A year earlier, she had won the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. She performed in the company of Marsalis, a trumpeter who was the first jazz musician to receive the Pulitzer Prize. 'When we met then, I was already a huge fan, and we just kept in touch as good friends,' Benedetti once explained. Marsalis has said they felt 'a certain type of kinship'. Many years later, Marsalis wrote a violin concerto for Benedetti, although in a joint interview they joked about not remembering who had proposed the idea. Marsalis said: 'It's like a scene from When Harry Met Sally. I don't know if I said it or she said it.' They have continued to collaborate and perform together. Benedetti, from Ayrshire in Scotland, is artistic director of the Edinburgh International Festival and had her daughter in May 2024. Marsalis also has a teenage daughter and two adult sons from previous relationships. The 'Pied Piper' of jazz Marsalis started playing the trumpet at the age of six and went on to become a key figure in the jazz renaissance of the 1980s. He has been credited with rekindling interest in the genre, has been referred to as the 'Pied Piper' of jazz and won nine Grammy awards during his career. He is currently the artistic director of Jazz at the Lincoln Center, in New York. Benedetti told the Telegraph that she has begun to question her upbringing, during which her mother made her and her older sister practise the violin for three hours every day during the school holidays. 'My daughter is only one, but my sister has two children, aged three and five, and seeing her experience has definitely made me consider my own childhood,' she said. 'But both of us have a realistic, even a positive view of our upbringing. It was very strict – we feared upsetting our parents, or doing the wrong thing – but we also knew we were loved to death by our mum and dad.' She believes that today's young people are less willing to make the sacrifices required to become a world-class musician, saying: 'I think young people have become used to a lack of basic discipline in their daily lives – and that really worries me.'

Nigerians lead the world in fashion visas for Britain
More Nigerians have been granted British visas for their expertise in fashion than people from any other country, Telegraph analysis of official data shows. Nigerians have applied for by far the highest number of global talent visas that offer entry to the UK for fashion designers, as well as being granted the most approvals. The British Fashion Council – a not-for-profit company – has been given powers to endorse applications on behalf of the Home Office, which then has the final sign-off on granting the visas. The council receives about £2 million each year from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to promote British fashion. The organisation has actively sought to increase ethnic diversity in the fashion industry, particularly in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. From 2019 to 2024, there have been 291 Nigerian applications for fashion visas, far more than any other country. The second highest number were from Chinese designers, who submitted 67 applications. The number of fashion applications from Nigeria has risen from just three in 2019 to 145 in 2024. In the same time period, 71 Nigerian applications have been endorsed by the Fashion Council – more than any other nationality. Word of the visa route has spread online, and The Telegraph has seen numerous videos on social media featuring Nigerian designers offering advice on how to enter the UK on the global talent fashion visa. One advises viewers who 'are looking to stay put' in the UK: 'Don't limit yourself to the post-study work permit, there are so many options.' The visa route has a number of criteria for applicants, who are tasked with proving their talent or YouTube promise. This includes providing proof of sales and 'international media attention'. Some designers offering advice online have found that criteria for this media attention can be met by local newspaper stories from their home country. One said they simply shared a screenshot of a blog that mentioned their work. Another said that they used discussions on Instagram in their application to prove sales had been made. The increase in application for the global talent fashion visa comes amid a growing interest in African designers. In 2022-23, the Victoria and Albert Museum hosted a popular exhibition titled African Fashion. The Arise Fashion Week in Lagos has been running for 13 years, and the showcase of African fashion has been endorsed by British supermodel and designer Naomi Campbell. There has also been a broader surge in applications for talent visas from Nigeria. The Telegraph previously revealed that people in Nigeria have made the most applications for entry to the UK via the global talent visa route for 'literature', which covers professed 'poets' and oral 'storytellers' Since 2019, Nigerians have made 729 across artistic global talent categories – dance, fashion, music, film and TV, theatre, combined arts and visual arts – second only to the US, with 977. Despite the volume of applications, Nigerians have just 59 per cent of them endorsed – the lowest of any country apart from Ghana. Since 2019, more than 5,000 applications have been made by all nationalities, with 3,600 endorsed by the Arts Council. The Home Office does not break down figures on how many of these endorsements then lead to visas being signed off by Whitehall officials.

Labubu fans dote over ugly-cute doll trending at Comic-Con
SAN DIEGO, July 27 (Reuters) - San Diego Comic-Con is the latest location where the ugly-cute dolls named Labubu have been trending, with fans carrying the plushies globally popularized by celebrities Rihanna, Lizzo, Dua Lipa, and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. The wide-eyed and grinning doll was created in 2015 by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. In 2019, Lung allowed them to be sold by Pop Mart ( opens new tab, a Chinese toy company that sells collectible figurines, often in "blind boxes". "Blind boxes" are sealed boxes containing a surprise item that is usually part of a themed collection. Naomi Galban, from San Diego, waited in line on Sunday at the Pop Mart booth in the San Diego Convention Center for a chance to get her first Labubu. "Every time I go to a Pop Mart store, they're sold out," the 24-year-old told Reuters. She hoped to buy one for her little sister. Emily Brough, Pop Mart's Head of IP Licensing, spoke to Reuters on Thursday about Labubu fans at Comic-Con. "We love to see how fans are personalizing it (Labubu) for themselves," Brough said next to the Pop Mart booth. While Brough noted that there were many people with a Labubu strapped to their bags and backpacks at Comic-Con, the doll's popularity did not happen overnight. Labubus had a huge boost in 2019 after Pop Mart began selling them, and in 2024, when Blackpink's Lisa, who is Thai, created a buying frenzy in Thailand after she promoted Labubu on social media. Pop Mart saw sales skyrocket in North America that same year, with revenue in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2025 already surpassing the full-year U.S. revenue from 2024, Pop Mart said. When he created Labubu, Lung gave the character, who is female, a backstory inspired by Nordic mythology. He called her and his other fictional creatures "The Monsters." Diana Goycortua, 25, first discovered Labubu through social media, and before she knew it, it felt like a "game" to try and collect the dolls. "It's a little bit of gambling with what you're getting," the Labubu fan from San Diego said on Sunday while waiting at the Pop Mart booth, concluding that her love for the character made it worth trying blind boxes. Goycortua already has three Labubus, and was hoping to score her a fourth one at Comic-Con.
