Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton makes a stunning return in The Devil Wears Prada 2, ensuring her name won’t be forgotten.

Emily Charlton is back, and she’s running Dior
In The Devil Wears Prada 2, Emily Charlton returns not as an assistant but as a powerful executive at Dior’s New York operations. She wanders the pages of free, wanted advertising and a feature in Dior’s new flagship store, making it quite clear that the tables have turned. The woman who once answered every call Miranda now holds all the cards.

From rivals to reluctant allies: Emily and Andy
Emily spends much of the film clinging to the icy demeanor of the woman she once admired, while slowly coming to terms with the idea of being friends with Andy — someone she once happily conspired against. Watching the two finally find common ground is one of the most satisfying events in the film. Twenty years later, the enemies are still discovering each other.

Milan moment with Donatella Versace
One of the most talked about scenes in the film involves Emily sitting down to lunch with Donatella Versace during Milan Fashion Week. The two meet up before they are interrupted by Andy, who is navigating the city in an attempt to rescue Runway – with Emily’s help. It’s a complete moment for the franchise and one of its most elegant sequences.

The one-liners that stole the show
Emily Charlton enters The Devil Wears Prada 2 armed with some of the sharpest lines in the series. From “I hope you light up the bridges I’m burning my way” to “You’ve changed, you’ve changed. You’re so much more confident. And yet, you’ve kept your eyebrows, haven’t you?” Directed at Andy, each line is like a perfectly directed dagger. It’s clear that the writers saved their best material for Emily, and Blunt delivers every word flawlessly.

Emily’s plan to eliminate Miranda Meryl Streep
The film’s biggest developments focus on Emily. Her boyfriend, Benjy, turns out to be the key to Andy’s plan to save Runway, putting Emily at the center of the power struggle. Emily and Andy team up to pitch their plan to Miranda, only for her to shut her down, revealing that she always knew Emily intended to buy Runway just to fire her. It’s one of the most dramatic and satisfying confrontations in the film, and proof that Emily Charlton is no longer playing second fiddle to anyone.
