Emily Blunt has delivered a startling revelation about the potential Devil Wears Prada sequel, admitting she would only reprise her iconic role under one very specific condition: no more sky-high heels.
The British actress, who stole scenes as the acerbic fashion assistant Emily Charlton in the 2006 hit, confessed that the physical demands of the role—particularly the punishing footwear—were almost too much to bear.
The Heels That Haunted Her
In a candid interview, Blunt detailed the agony of spending entire filming days in towering stilettos. "I don't know if I can do that again," she admitted, referencing the painful wardrobe requirements that came with portraying a high-fashion editorial assistant.
"I remember those days of just being like, 'Oh my God, I'm not sure I can take another step in these heels,'" Blunt revealed, highlighting the less glamorous reality behind the film's chic aesthetic.
A Sequel in the Making?
Rumours of a follow-up film have circulated for years, gaining significant traction in recent months. Original stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are reportedly interested, with Disney said to be developing the project.
The sequel would be based on author Lauren Weisberger's 2013 book Revenge Wears Prada, which catches up with Andy Sachs a decade after her departure from Runway magazine.
Blunt's Ultimatum
While enthusiastic about reuniting with her co-stars, Blunt has been clear about her terms. "I think if everyone does it, I might do it," she stated, before adding her crucial caveat about the footwear.
The actress's conditions highlight the often-overlooked physical challenges actors face when bringing glamorous characters to life, particularly in fashion-focused productions where style frequently trumps comfort.
Whether producers will accommodate Blunt's practical demands remains to be seen, but fans worldwide are undoubtedly hoping for a compromise that brings the beloved character back to the screen—comfortable footwear and all.
