Emily Blunt covers the December UK issue of In Style. 

On Acting:

“I got into it by accident. I thought I’d do languages and be an interpreter. But I loved drama and got an agent a year into my exams who said ‘Do you want to try it for real’”

On Clothes and Fashion:

“I like fashion – I’m very partial to Marc Jacobs and Prada – but I don’t want clothes to wear me. Ordinarily, I dress like a teenage boy in layered T-shirts and Converse. To me Emily in Prada was an alien from Planet Fashion. I’d rather aspire to look like Cate Blanchett, who’s always immaculate, or Keira Knightley.”

On Her New Role in “The Young Victoria” (and a corsetry regime that cinches her waist to 24 inches):

“That’s tough because I eat like a truck driver”

On Her Role as Emily in “The Devil Wears Prada“: 

“Emily was a gift of a character to play in what was only my second movie. She was based on a couple of people I know. Hopefully they’ll never work out who they are. But I’ve got a lot to thank them for.”

On Having To Do The Red Carpet:

“It’s usually very surreal and frightening, I have a stylist who has a beautiful eye for clothes, but its terrible when you get out of the car and everyone decides that they hate your dress.”
