Emily Blunt has a reputation for experimenting with her sartorial agenda, yet always embodies refined elegance.
On Tuesday, The Devil Wears Prada actress attended The American Institute for Stuttering's 19th annual gala, and opted for an outfit that was refined, on-trend and created by a Princess of Wales-approved designer for special occasions.

Emily paired the look with statement earrings for extra glam, and a classic, middle parting, slick-back hairstyle, to let her effortlessly elegant outfit do all the talking.

To attend the royal wedding of Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II of Jordan and Rajwa Al Saif back in 2023, she perfected wedding guest sophistication in a blush pink dress from the designer's Autumn/Winter 2017 ready-to-wear collection.
The garment she wore, which first sashayed down the runway eight years ago, originally featured a thin gold belt and sheer leg-baring panels down the side and nape of the neck. Kate opted to remove the belt and also did away with the transparency of the dress by customising it with an underskirt and top, which made the dress more modest and appropriate for the formal occasion.

In an interview in 2009, she explained: "I did have a bad stuttering problem as a child. I'd try to push the words out, but it was frustrating. My parents took me to speech coaches and relaxation coaches. It didn't work. Then one of my teachers at school had a brilliant idea and said, 'Why don't you speak in an accent in our school play?' I distanced myself from me through this character, and it was so freeing that my stuttering stopped when I was onstage. It was really a miracle."
