Emily Blunt has given us some truly breathtaking red carpet looks this year – and the outfit she wore at the 18th annual American Institute for Stuttering Gala in New York City on Monday, September 16th was no exception!
The Fall Guy actress has been working with the charity for over 20 years and serves on their board of directors. She has hosted the gala on several occasions over the years, including Monday night’s gala!
Emily Blunt Looks Gorgeous In A Red And White Erdem Ensemble On The Red Carpet
For the event – which she attended with husband John Krasinski – the Oppenheimer actress looked incredible in a red and white Erdem two-piece set from the Fall 2024 collection. The outfit consisted of a floral-printed top with a plunging sweetheart neckline, and a matching tiered skirt.
Emily accessorized with some Jimmy Choo shoes, a Jimmy Choo clutch, and Anabela Chan jewelry. The Mary Poppins Returns actress wore her hair in a wavy down do and sported natural, glowing makeup. For his part, the Office star looked dapper in a dark navy suit with a white shirt and matching blue tie.
Emily Blunt Previously Opened Up About Overcoming Her Stutter
The charity is very dear to the mom-of-two's heart, and she has spoken out about overcoming her own stutter in several interviews over the years.
In a 2009 interview with W, the Girl on the Train star explained how speaking in a different accent while performing on stage when she was younger really helped her. "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," Blunt recalled.
She continued: "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."
