Are you wearing…the bleach blonde bob? Yes, Emily Blunt is.
Filming is well underway for The Devil Wears Prada sequel, and with it, an avalanche of paparazzi photos that give a glimpse into some of the costume and styling choices for both established and new cast members. And while Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs has retained her long, brunette hair, and Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly sports her trademark ash blonde, severe super crop, it looks like Emily Blunt as Emily Charlton might go through some dramatic hair transformations.

Just a few weeks ago, images from the set showed Blunt as Emily with some copper red hair, her character’s signature shade. It marked the first time Blunt has returned to that shade following her breakout role in the original film, having experimented with more caramel blondes and shades of brunette over the years. The sharp-tongued assistant to Runway editor-in-chief is remembered as much for her acerbic words to Andy and not being the girl to go to Paris, as she is her chestnut red shade. It was a high fashion, editorial, almost villainous red. Blunt, who was 23 at the time, dyed her then-brunette hair for the role.

Over the years, Blunt—who is a natural blonde—has experimented with plenty of brunette and blonde shades, but in recent times, she’s kept to a lighter shade of brunette with warm blonde highlights toward the mid and lower lengths of her hair, giving her fine lengths some soft depth and movement.
Color analysis defines Emily Blunt as a ‘true summer,’ with cool undertones—it means the actor can pool off cool, soft, and muted shades, like light browns, ashy and icy blonde.
