Emily Blunt Almost Got the ‘Ick’ When John Krasinski Walked the Red Carpet

She admits she usually gets the ‘ick’ from turtlenecks — but John Krasinski changed her mind.

Emily Blunt, who is starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2 with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, appeared on the April 28 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During her interview, she spoke about attending the 2026 Golden Globe Awards with her husband, John Krasinski, who is best known for his role on The Office.

The actress admitted that she originally wasn’t sure she was going to like the red-carpet look that he put together. “I’ll be honest … I have a full organ rejection to turtlenecks usually,” she admitted. “When John pitched me this outfit and he was like, ‘And it’s a turtleneck,’ I had to compose my face into, like, impassive, ‘Oh, that sounds great,’ you know?’”

She continued, “But then when I saw [him], I thought he looked like Michael Caine. He looked so cool, ’60s vibe. But normally a man in the turtleneck gives me the ick. Sorry to any turtleneck wearers tonight.”

She went on to explain another fashion choice that isn’t her favorite. “I really don’t like one of those… I don’t mind, like, a James Dean leather jacket, but if we’re looking at a dad leather jacket, where it’s a little bomber jacket and it’s very shiny? A little tight. And cropped.”

During her Tonight Show appearance, Blunt also spoke about the upcoming A Quiet Place Part III, which her husband is directing and writing.

“He starts shooting really soon. He’s been writing it,” she said. “He’s one of these weird, sort of Beautiful Mind people. He goes up, he has Post-its everywhere, and he’s like that for months, organizing it. [It’s] to the point where I’m like, ‘Please write this movie. Stop Post-it-ing our house.’”

A Quiet Place Part III is scheduled to be released in summer of 2027 and The Devil Wears Prada 2 is in theaters on May 1, 2026.
