For her jewelry tonight, Blunt chose elegant pieces from Mikimoto’s Les Pétales Place Vendôme Rosés collection. Dripping in diamonds? More like dripping in pearls: Her head-turning necklace was made of 156 Akoya cultured pearls, and accented with 18-karat rose gold and 4.86-karat diamond petals throughout. “Jessica and I both had the same reaction the moment we saw the choker—it was clearly the one,” says Blunt. “It complemented the Schiaparelli gown in such a natural, elegant way with the pearls and delicate diamond petals. It just felt completely right.”
The star also wore pearl bracelets by the label, totaling 243 Akoya cultured pearls on her wrist alone. “I’ve always been drawn to pearls, they have such a timeless feel,” says Blunt. “I’ve long admired Mikimoto for its extraordinary heritage. As the originator of cultured pearls, there’s a real sense of history and artistry behind each piece, which makes wearing their jewelry feel incredibly meaningful.”

All together, Blunt’s theatrical statement look tonight could not be more fitting for such a high-fashion film like The Devil Wears Prada. (After all, this is no time to play it safe!) We imagine the ensemble is something that her character would proudly wear in the film to, say, the Met Gala or couture week—so go ahead and call it a perfect approach to method dressing. Definitely Emily-approved.
