It was expected. ‘Oppenheimer’ has not been able to with the ‘Barbie’ boom on its first weekend in theaters. But beware, the fact that Greta Gerwig, with her feminist study on the famous Mattel doll led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Reynolds, has even exceeded all box office expectations, does not mean that what the film has achieved about the physicist who led the trials to develop the atomic bomb. 174.1 million people have seen it in the first two days around the world, which, although it may seem few compared to the 337 million of ‘Barbie’, is a success that has not happened in Hollywood since 2019.
It also seems to have convinced critics not only for the way in which it treats such an important historical event, but also for its luxury cast, headed by Cillian Murphy – whom you surely remember for being the protagonist of ‘Peaky Blinders’ – and followed by by Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, plus a masterful Emily Blunt. Little has been written about the latter over the years for what she has given her career since the general public met her in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’.

His diverse resume includes romantic comedies such as the aforementioned film in which he acts as an assistant to Meryl Streep’s character, but also adventure films such as ‘Jungle Cruise’, horror films such as ‘A Quiet Place’, historical films such as ‘Young Victoria’ , dramatic thrillers like ‘The Girl on the Train’ and even children’s movies like ‘Mary Poppins Returns’.
The curious thing is that his wardrobe is characterized by being just as eclectic as his working life. In it is combined just the right amount of classicism and avant-garde to give rise to really interesting looks. His appearance in the Met Gala 2023 It is a good sample of that perfect formula of tradition and innovation to which we refer.

“We all know the subject was Karl Lagerfeld, and all Emily wanted to wear was pants. But I thought it would be cool if she wore a dress. The brilliant thing about Michael is that he gave us both. He put both ideas together and did something really spectacular for the most important night in fashion”, his stylist Jessica Paster revealed to ‘People’ about the outfit that the three of them concocted to succeed on what is one of the most media-produced red carpets.
The other great red carpet, that of the Oscars, is another one that dominates perfectly. Without going any further, last March she was crowned at this event as one of the best dressed thanks to a pristine white Valentino dress that left her shoulders bare.

Make no mistake about these two patterns because, as we said, Not everything is black and white in Emily Blunt’s closet. In hers there is room for all kinds of colors – you just have to do a quick review of the newspaper library to find her clad in a red Oscar de la Renta dress with flower prints at the latest edition of the SAG Awards and with another design in the same tone but made of leather in the Alexander McQueen workshops that he chose to appear at the premiere of the second part of ‘A Quiet Place’ in 2020– and endless nuances, which are given by most of times for her intelligent interpretation of the trends with which she feels most comfortable.
Does this mean you don’t take risks? No, actually he does assume them, but he always does so serenely with a solid foundation behind him. As when it is encouraged to wear sequins, ‘cut out’ or suits. Tailoring duos, by the way, have become one of his favorite resources during the promotion tour marathon.
Last fall we saw him when he walked through several sets to talk about the miniseries ‘The English’, which had just finished shooting, and recently he has done the same during the days that he has had to travel around the world to present ‘Oppenheimer’.

The only red lines that seem to be marked on her style are very pronounced necklines and excessively flashy prints. The why is simple, they just don’t seem to fit her. A decision for which Miranda Priestly, the evil editor of a fashion magazine who acted as her boss in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, would surely be very proud of her.
