Sure, florals for spring are a classic, but how about embracing them for fall? Emily Blunt effortlessly brought this iconic pattern into her autumn wardrobe during a recent red carpet-appearance that also highlighted a cause close to her heart.
At the American Institute for Stuttering’s annual gala on September 16, where she took on the role of host, the “Devil Wears Prada” star dazzled in a unique ball gown by Erdem. The ensemble featured a chic two-piece design, combining a crop top with a full skirt. The crop top showcased sweetheart cups and a daringly deep V-neckline, while the skirt boasted a mock-drop waist and a gracefully pleated finish.
The highlight of the outfit, however, was its striking print: a vivid red and black floral pattern adorned with oversized bright red ribbons weaving through the design. While it echoes Miranda Priestly’s famous line (“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.”), the fall-inspired color scheme transforms it into a show-stopping piece for Emily Blunt. She wasn’t alone in making a statement; her husband, John Krasinski, also turned heads in a sharp navy blue suit, joining his wife for elegant red carpet photos.
Blunt’s role as host follows her own journey with stuttering, which has inspired her to advocate for children facing similar challenges. “I’m grateful to shine a light on stuttering because it’s a condition that often hides in the shadows, alongside fear, shame, and humiliation,” Blunt shared during the Power of Women event. “A stutter feels like an unwelcome guest in your body—one that doesn’t pay rent and utterly misrepresents who you truly are.”
