The moment Emily Blunt stepped onto the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, the tone of the night shifted. Held at the Beverly Hilton, the ceremony became her runway as she unveiled a look that fused authority with high-fashion restraint.
Blunt arrived in a sculptural, ice-toned Louis Vuitton skirt suit that felt unmistakably contemporary. A dramatic, cape-inspired bodice rose into a sharp neckline before flowing into a sweeping floor-length skirt, its clean lines gliding effortlessly across the carpet. Statement crystal buttons punctuated the silhouette, reflecting the flash of cameras and mirroring the sparkle of her diamond jewelry.
Her beauty choices were equally intentional. A sultry, smoky eye sharpened the look, while her hair was slicked back into a refined bun that emphasized the outfit’s strong geometry. A glossy red manicure delivered the only burst of color — subtle, controlled, and perfectly placed.
Joining her was her husband, John Krasinski, whose all-black ensemble — velvet suit layered over a turtleneck, finished with classic dress shoes and minimal eyewear — provided a sleek counterpoint to Blunt’s luminous white. Together, the pair radiated ease and connection, offering one of the evening’s most effortless displays of red-carpet chemistry.
Away from the red carpet spectacle, the evening carried serious awards momentum for Emily Blunt. She earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress — Motion Picture for The Smashing Machine, portraying Dawn Staples, the loyal but emotionally conflicted partner of legendary MMA fighter Mark Kerr. Kerr is portrayed by Dwayne Johnson, and the film traces the brutal underside of peak performance, charting Kerr’s explosive UFC ascent alongside the toll of addiction and personal unraveling.
The competition is fierce, with no shortage of formidable contenders in the mix. Emily Blunt finds herself facing standout turns from Elle Fanning and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas in Sentimental Value, Ariana Grande in Wicked: For Good, Amy Madigan in Weapons, and Teyana Taylor in One Battle After Another. Her nomination also reads as a course correction for the season, arriving after her unexpected omission from the Critics Choice Awards—a decision that sparked plenty of quiet disbelief across the industry.
This nomination brings Blunt’s Golden Globe tally to eight, underscoring her long-standing rapport with the ceremony. Her past Globe-recognized turns span The Devil Wears Prada, The Young Victoria, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Into the Woods, Mary Poppins Returns, and Oppenheimer, capped by her 2007 win for Gideon’s Daughter.
Trophy or not, the verdict was clear well before the envelopes were opened. Emily Blunt didn’t simply attend the Golden Globes — she set the pace, seized the spotlight, and defined the night from the moment she arrived.
