So it was Emily Blunt’s turn to wear red for The Devil Wears Prada 2 London premiere held in Leicester Square this evening, and if the New York premiere didn’t signal a return to form for you, then this look certainly should.

The actress wore a custom Balenciaga look that immediately commands attention.

The strapless bodice, with its sculpted, architectural shape, recalls the direction set during Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Spring 2026 debut; clean lines with a strong focus on form.

The tailoring through the trousers is sharp, elongating her frame, while the extended train brings a sense of occasion, lifting this beyond a standard red carpet tailored look.

The look was, of course, styled with Balenciaga Duchesse pumps, instantly recognisable by that deep V-cut vamp, and I have to say this is the first time they have truly worked for me – perhaps it’s the impact of the red.

And to top it off, we have another Mikimoto necklace. The last one sparked debate, but this Sunburst necklace, featuring White South Sea cultured pearls feels like it will be a lot less controversial.

I also really loved her hairstyle. We so often see her in a bun, but this softly waved, shoulder-length style offers a welcome shift.

Stylist: Jessica Paster.
