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
Emily Blunt cut a casual figure as she left the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City on Tuesday. 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!!!!'

This year, EGB is held in conjunction with SG60, aligning with the theme of 'Building Our Singapore Together' where contributions may be eligible for the SG Gives matching grant.
