Emily Blunt’s ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ premiere hairstyle was inspired by a ‘90s icon

Emily Blunt’s beauty look for the “Devil Wears Prada 2” NYC premiere was Runway-approved — and runway-inspired.

The actress made her first red carpet appearance of the sequel’s press tour on Monday, stepping out in a stunning Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown and piles of Mikimoto pearls.

And she topped off the look with an equally elegant hairstyle: an “effortless but powerful” slicked-back bun inspired by a fellow star.

“Our inspiration for the evening stemmed from the bold structure of Schiaparelli and a raw, iconic ’90s moment of Kate Moss through the lens of David Sims,” Blunt’s hairstylist, Laini Reeves, told Page Six Style of the “almost wet” look.

She achieved the glass-smooth effect using products like the Tresemmé Instant Fix Styling Stick, which she called a “must” for taming any flyaways.

“It’s the easiest way to perfect the hairline and keep everything polished under lights and cameras,” she added of the $13 find.

“The result is clean, modern, and deliberately understated, something that enhances the look without ever distracting from it,” Reeves said. ZUMAPRESS.com

Reeves also relied on the hair care brand’s All-in-One Style Primer, Bonding Oil — to “achieve that high-shine, wet look” — and Workable Hairspray to lock it all in, while still “keeping the hair touchable.”

“Emily loved how clean and strong the look felt,” Reeves added. “It had that quiet confidence to it, which really resonated with her, and it allowed the entire look to feel elevated without competing with the dress.”

And while Blunt finished her premiere beauty look with a classic crimson lip, she stopped short of adopting her character’s signature red locks for the evening.

“For me, it’s about ensuring the look feels authentic and effortless as she walks out the door, rather than leaning into anything too literal,” Reeves said, adding that it was “less about re-creating the character and more about capturing that same sense of confidence and polish in a way that feels relevant.”

“The first film, ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ had such an incredible impact on style,” the hair pro continued. “I focused on complementing the overall vision for the carpet.”
