Over the past several weeks, the New York city streets have been swarmed with fans and paparazzi eager to get an inside glimpse into the high-fashion world of the The Devil Wears Prada 2. Since the star-studded cast reunited for the much-awaited sequel and filming began in New York City, we’ve been knee deep in all the sneak previews, and we’re taking notes on all the major beauty trends that the film is bound to set into motion. While we thought Anne Hathaway’s apricot highlights were the most major hair transformation we’d see on set for the sequel, Emily Blunt’s shift from her classic copper to a platinum blond look has fans talking.

Emily Blunt Goes From Copper to Platinum for ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

We’ll never forget the role that Emily Blunt’s iconic character of the same first name, Emily Charlton, played in shaping Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs into the absolute girl boss we know and love. Now, as we piece together what to expect from the high-intensity sequel, it looks like Blunt’s character is in for a lot more evolution than we once thought.

First spotted on the streets of New York with her signature Charlton fiery copper color shaped into a modern, trendy lob style, we had no reason to suspect Charlton circa 2025 would veer from the aesthetic of her OG character. But the most recent paparazzi pictures from the set showed Blunt with a bright blond ‘do and an edgy shadow root, hinting at some major character development for our favorite executive assistant. While some fans can’t get enough of Blunt’s contrasted cowboy copper, others are partial to her brighter blond. Regardless of which hue you prefer, we’re definitely in for a rollercoaster ride of beauty transformations come the film’s release next year.
