'The Devil Wears Prada' may have started as a career-defining comedy for Emily Blunt, but nearly two decades later, the story has taken on a far more personal meaning. Now at 42, Blunt is filming the highly anticipated sequel alongside Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and her real-life brother-in-law Stanley Tucci.

Emily Blunt on Getting Back to The Set

In a recent cover story for PORTER magazine, Emily Blunt explained that returning to the film set feels deeply emotional, noting that the project now carries strong personal connections as well as professional ones. For her, this sequel is not simply another movie role but a return to something that has shaped both her life and her family.

Her bond with Tucci, now 64, extends beyond the screen. He later married Blunt's older sister, Felicity, in 2012, and the pair share two children. The actress often jokes about Tucci’s irresistible cooking, admitting that his late-night pasta and martinis make it difficult to stay on a "Prada diet" while filming. She even recalled how he once tempted her with pomodoro pasta, despite her having to squeeze into Dior couture the next day.

Emily Blunt has long praised Tucci as more than just family. She has described him as impeccably stylish, brilliantly witty, and someone who can light up a room. His culinary skills, in particular, have made him a favourite on film sets, where castmates happily traded their kale snacks for the gourmet dishes he brought in. For Emily Blunt, his authenticity and zest for life are qualities she openly admires.

Emily Blunt on 'The Devil Wears Prada's Cultural Impact

Looking back on the cultural impact of 'The Devil Wears Prada,' Emily Blunt reflected that none of the cast could have predicted its extraordinary influence when they first made the film in 2006. Over the years, she has learned that the movie has become a comfort for many fans, often serving as a go-to film during difficult times—whether after a breakup, when caring for sick family members, or simply as a nostalgic watch.

Emily Blunt admitted that stepping back onto the set of the sequel has been a powerful reminder of just how much the film means to audiences. She noted that both she and her co-stars are constantly struck by the emotional weight of the project and the excitement surrounding its return.
