Emily Blunt, the acclaimed actress known for her role in the highly anticipated sequel “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” recently appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she opened up about her thoughts on men’s fashion. The 43-year-old actress shared her personal “icks” regarding various styles, revealing a surprising detest for turtlenecks on men, despite her husband’s impressive Golden Globes look earlier this year.

During the show, Blunt candidly spoke about her dislike for turtlenecks, describing it as an overwhelming “full organ rejection.” However, her opinion shifted when John Krasinski, her husband of nearly 16 years, proposed wearing a black turtleneck paired with glasses for the prestigious awards event. Initially taken aback, she admitted needing to “compose her face” upon hearing the styling suggestion. Eventually, Blunt praised Krasinski’s choice, likening his appearance to that of a young Michael Caine, exclaiming he looked “so cool” in the ensemble.

The actress continued her fashion critique, addressing what she terms “Dad leather jackets.” She expressed particular aversion to shiny and cropped versions, labelling them as major fashion faux pas. The audience buzzed with laughter as Blunt jested about her views, making her segment both engaging and relatable.
Shifting the conversation towards her family life, Blunt highlighted her daughters, Hazel, aged 12, and Violet, aged 9, who are beginning to cultivate their own fashion senses. When Fallon asked whether her daughters still appreciated her style advice, Blunt confirmed they wanted “zero” input from her. The actress amusingly noted that although she was starring in a “pretty big fashion movie,” her daughters wished to establish their independence in style choices.
In an endearing moment, Blunt connected her elder daughter’s fashion sense to that of pop icon Avril Lavigne, while revealing her younger daughter looks up to Jennifer Lopez. This divergence in styles underscores the generation gap, yet alludes to the spirited nature of parenting in a modern world influenced greatly by pop culture.
Moreover, the actress disclosed that her daughters have recently engaged with the original “Devil Wears Prada” film, which was partly prompted by their peers’ enthusiasm for it. Blunt recounted how her children watched the film last year and expressed excitement about seeing the sequel, which reflects their rising interest in cinema.
Despite living in the public eye, Blunt and Krasinski have remarkably kept their children mostly out of the spotlight. However, the actress recently revealed to Willie Geist during a personal interview that she managed to gain tremendous “cool points” with her daughters after collaborating with actor Ryan Gosling on the upcoming film “The Fall Guy.” This collaboration seemed to resonate with her children, having previously admired him for his role in the hit film “Barbie.”
On her balancing act as a busy actress and devoted mother, Blunt shared her dedication to being present for her children, especially during bedtime. She expressed how these moments are essential for connection, emphasising the significance of 10-minute chats where kids often reveal their daily experiences and thoughts.
In a society where parents often juggle demanding careers, Blunt’s commitment to maintaining a nurturing home life resonates with many. She firmly believes that once children start to view her as less than essential to their lives, adjustments may be necessary, but for now, she treasures her role as a constant presence in their lives.
As Blunt continues to thrive in her career while navigating motherhood, her reflections on fashion, parenting, and personal growth offer fans a glimpse into the star’s relatable yet distinctive life. With the release of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” on the horizon, audiences are bound to witness the evolution not only of Blunt’s character but also of her own narrative as a captivating talent in Hollywood.
