Today we're taking a closer look at Emily Blunt's delightful choice of dates for the 2024 BAFTA Awards — her beloved parents!
Instead of attending with her usual red carpet partner, John Krasinski, Emily charmed everyone by arriving with her parents, Joanna and Oliver Blunt. The actress, aged 40, stunned in a sheer and metallic gown adorned with intricate cutout details and beautiful beadwork throughout. Her dress featured striking bell sleeves and an elegant train, making her a standout on the red carpet.
Not to be outdone, Emily's parents also turned heads in their elegant ensembles. Her mom shimmered in a sequined look, while her dad looked dapper in a stylish tuxedo, adding a touch of sophistication to the evening.
Typically seen with her husband at award shows, Emily's decision to have her parents as her companions was a heartwarming change of pace. At their last public appearance together, the Critics' Choice Awards in January, John was there to support Emily, who was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in the film 'The Devil Wears Prada.' Emily wore a stunning Giorgio Armani gown adorned with sequins, crystals, and rosettes, twinning in red with fellow nominee Margot Robbie.
Throughout this awards season, Emily has showcased her impeccable sense of style with eye-catching outfits. At the Golden Globes, she wore a custom Alexander McQueen creation—a sheer gown with gold embellishments on the bodice and a white tulle skirt. Accessorizing with dazzling jewels from Tiffany and Co., including diamond brooches sewn into her hair, Emily truly shone on the red carpet.
This year’s BAFTA Awards holds special significance for Emily, as she is being recognized for her outstanding performance in Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer.' Nominated for best actress in a supporting role, she faces tough competition from Danielle Brooks, Claire Foy, Sandra Hüller, Rosamund Pike, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. Her co-stars Robert Downey Jr. and Cillian Murphy also received acting nominations, with 'Oppenheimer' leading the pack with a total of 13 nods.
