The way we feel as we keep getting sneak peeks of the looks from The Devil Wears Prada 2 must be how Miranda Priestly’s twins felt when they got the manuscript for the yet-to-be-published Harry Potter book: like we absolutely shouldn’t be seeing this yet, but we so deserve this treat. And now, after seeing Anne Hathaway as Andy in multiple designer ensembles and Meryl Streep wearing Miranda’s iconic short hairstyle, we’re now getting a good look at Emily Blunt‘s return to her breakout role. And while the snarky, no-nonsense Emily is not still Miranda’s assistant, new photos reveal she’s definitely still a redhead.
Even more memorable than Blunt’s outfits in the original Devil Wears Prada film was, arguably, her hair. The intense shade of auburn—just a smidge warmer than burgundy—worked so well for her smoldering-just-beneath-the-surface attitude. And at the time, Blunt had actually dyed her hair for the role, as evidenced in photos taken of her in the year leading up to the film’s 2006 release.

But while we can’t know for sure if Blunt has dyed her hair again or if she’s opted for a very good wig, we have confirmation that Emily is still committed to that cranberry color.
On Tuesday, July 29, Blunt was spotted with Hathaway, Streep, and Stanley Tucci (yay!) while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 near Hudson Yards in New York City, and while she was smiling more than Emily has been known to, her character was immediately recognizable. She wore a corsetted, pinstriped set over a crisp, white shirt, carrying an oversized bag and oval sunglasses—all Dior. And the black and white served as a perfect contrast to her vivid red, center-parted lob.
