Well Played, Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt full length

She -- and Gillian Anderson below her -- are both at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year event, and she is certainly dressed like one. I love this. It is, yes, aggressively simple -- but I think it has to be given the bold color.

Her jeweled halter makes me happy.

Back view, kinda

This was as good a shot as I could get of the back -- looks like a low back, but not a scandalously butt-crack adjacent one. And thank god. This event is at Claridges. Years of romantical English novels have taught me that one must be appropriate at Claridges, even if one plans to have a scandalous affair with one's brother-in-law upstairs.
