After her acting debut in the early 2000s, Emily Blunt’s breakout performance came in the 2006 comedy film The Devil Wears Prada. She further showcased her versatility in films such as Sicario (2015) and A Quiet Place (2018).
Blunt was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 96th Academy Awards for her work in Oppenheimer (2024).
In 2026, she reprised her role as Emily Charlton in The Devil Wears Prada 2 alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.
In April 2026, Blunt’s appearance at the film’s premiere drew attention to her changing looks. Given the two-decade gap, fans compared her recent facial features with how she looked in the original film.
Some observers speculated that the 43-year-old actress had undergone several cosmetic surgeries.
“I will never not see how strange she looks since having some sort of facelift done a few years ago. She looks like a different person,” one fan said on Reddit.
Others argued that the alleged plastic surgery had affected Blunt’s performance in the film.
A second person wrote, “Emily Blunt in Devil Wears Prada 2 is a jump scare.”

A few months later, Blunt appeared in director Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day. She played Margaret Fairchild, a television meteorologist who goes on a mission to expose extraterrestrial life to the world.
The film received generally mixed reviews from critics, while audiences were divided over Blunt’s performance. Some viewers considered her acting one of the film’s weakest aspects, arguing that cosmetic changes hampered it.
One viewer joked, “Emily Blunt was abducted and physically transformed by actual aliens to prepare for her role in Disclosure Day.”
“I was sad thinking about the performance we could’ve seen without the most distracting, unfitting, lifeboat rafter lip fillers she has,” another added.
In the past, Blunt has spoken out against opting for cosmetic procedures, describing Hollywood as a place “suffocated by plastic surgery.”
“I appreciate that every line on someone’s face bears a story, and is the result of experience,” she told Women & Home in 2019.
